If you were prototyping wouldn't you want to print faster instead of slower?
Filament isn't great at high flow rate.
I would
By the specs, you'd think so. But on my Cr-10SE and Elegoo Centauri Carbon, it prints perfectly fine up to around 300mm/s. Consistently between 150 and 200mm/s on most prints I do.
You just need to dial up the temps (240 / 250) and a few settings in the slicer. I set the mm3 flow rate to 23 for both machines and it works great and still strong. Its the only PLA I use now.
I have used this at full speed and then clicked the 125% setting and had no issues with it at all. A few of my prints were actually done with prototype PLA and I wasn't even aware of it until I later checked, the quality was just as good?
Can you tell me your print settings on your CC for the creality pla
I used 220/65 and just used 175 in speed. Neptune 4. No need to have brim on the parts I printed. Fall off the bed after 5 minutes when bed goes colder. Haven't tried faster speeds. But in no rush. Very tiny details I printed at 100 as was struggling at 175.
I picked up a few spools the other day and FWIW I've printed a Benchy and a few other things with the Black "Prototyping" PLA. Everything looks near identical to Sunlu/Jayo Black PLA on my P1S. Benchy was printed with stock settings + Generic PLA profile.
Just printed a benchy using a default pla preset with no issues
Bought 3 grey spools yesterday. The staff also asked me if I just want to buy a whole box of 12 spools for $119, but I don’t need that many.
$119? So, they offered you a pack of 12 spools for the price of… 12 spools. What a bargain!
1 dolla off
40c off.
Exactly XD
My go to when I need the basic colours, prints as good as bambu PLA on my A1 as far as I can tell.
This.
It doesn't say "prototyping" anywhere on the box.
Great filament for original Ender 3 speeds. Tuned it with the Orcaslicer tuning options and see no stringing, no warping, great bed adhesion.
With the white one you can hardly see the layer lines, even at 0.32 (using a 0.4 nozzle at 100mm/s).
I haven't done any overhang type tests, but whatever, it's $10/spool!I would say its reject batches so they dont have a constant supply of it and as such dont want to get custom boxes
It's a bit weird - I bought a whole box worth that came still sealed in it's original shipping box. There's no mention of Prototyping on that carton, nor on the individual boxes inside, unless I've very much overlooked it but so far things seem fine after a few prints.
Grabbed some earlier.
The staff said they were stopping selling Ender filament so this is basically runout stock.No mention of prototyping on mine, seems very good.
Would these be ok on an a1? Basic prints nothing too precious like gridfinity baseplates etc
Works fine on an A1. I churned through a couple of rolls of the grey worked perfectly.
Anyone tried on A5M? Will speed reduction be required?
To everyone saying the box doesn’t say prototyping PLA, it says “prototyping” in the description at the back of the box. But it also says it for the HC series. And the CR series. And many of the resins. So I don’t think it matters much but I saw it mentioned in a previous deal’s title so I put it there.
Prints decently well on the P1S using stock bambulab generic PLA settings. Slightly improved by calibrating. My experience with 3D printing is extremely minimal though so make of that what you will.
I always use this at around 150 speed, works well. but I feels like eSun PLA+ is bit better but not cheap.
What's the finish on this one? Old school glossy?
Is the colour finish "cheap" too, like the black is not that dark, the white is pretty translucent, etc.?
Just printed grey filament, it is not as dark grey as my other Sunlu PLA filament. Finish is semi glossy. I dialled down the print speed on the generic PLA profile in my Bambu Lab A1, the print came out quite reasonable, not much different from Sunlu and Bambu Lab basic PLA filaments.
Worth noting that print settings can affect the finish too.
If u print slow/higher temp (more melted) parts will come out shinier.
If u print fast/lower temp (less melted) parts will be more matte.
Just reporting about the quality of the print using an A1 Mini: top notch. I've printed some parts maxing out the build plate of the Mini (smol…), and quality was excellent. I'm going back to Jaycar and buy a truckload of these.
Bought a roll yesterday, great for my use (design prototyping). Bought the filament from the deal a few months ago and almost finished the roll.
Got few black to start with. Neptune 4. printbed 60 and 175 speed. In no rush so leaving at that. Prints fine. dont use brim or cooling. No warping and no issues. Went and got 15 in total for those "projects", currently in process of printing a clock slider https://www.instructables.com/Time-Slider/
They are selling the black quickly (WA).oof black oos
Confirmed. Been to 2 stores. No more black. Been printing around 4 rolls now. No issues. Not sure what max speed is but keeping at 175. Bed 65. Neptune 4
Prototyping Filament
Need to use at low speed.
