FormFutura1.75mm ApolloX - Dark Blue - 3D Printer Filament

I've had limited success printing with ABS filament previously (warping, bed adhesion etc) likely due to the lack of heated enclosure, however this filament seems much easier to print with - only very large prints warped during printing (~200mm x ~200mm), but smaller (~50mm square) prints completed with no warping and perfect bed adhesion.Very impressed and would definitely buy this again!

Quite pleased, but half a roll has been lost for various reasons such as poor adhesion. PEI bed must be cleaned and given fresh coat of PVA to prevent overadhesion or slippage. I will try hairspray next time perhaps, but I need to purchase a second roll to finish my project due to wastage! I had a further issue with retraction which MUST be used on first few solid fill layers or the material will rip through itself and off the bed.When good settings are found, the material goes down like butter, and the final item looks good, though appearance is not really on my priority list as these will me mounted on a pole 10m up in the air, although it will be tested closer to ground level, so I may add a long term test later.All in all, quite happy, tho be warned, it takes quite a lot of prep, and must be printed in an enclosure for good results.

Great product! Easy to print and good quality of spool.

I bought thus as it was on offer and was willing to pay the £20 compared to £40 as id never tried either formfutura or ASA. It prints nicely and is almost soft to the touch once printed. Picks up details well and has low warpage. I did have a little due to the printer being in a cold garage but this was rectified once the ambient temp was raised.I would definitely buy a normal priced spool if tbe project required yhe material properties.

Returning straight away!!! I feel scammed. If I could give minus stars I would. I followed the recommendations. Used enclosed chamber and nozzle temperature between 235 and 255. They all melted like it was PLA at such a high temperature. Tried different temperatures and fan 0-30%. I tried speed between 20 to 50 mm/s and nothing worked.They all melted the 3d model like an ice cream. I don't think this was real ASA filament.

I think that I'm in love with this stuff. I printed using a mosquito magnum hotend with a bondtech lgx extruder. It printed beautifully at 245/85 on a glass bed, but prints even better on flexible textured pei sheet. I've done quick prints (10-20min) with no enclosure at all. I've always used an enclosure for anything longer. I was able to print this with a cardboard box and a sheet of plastic as my enclosure with great results. I have since switched to a pop-up tent style enclosure and it prints even better.This has a much lower odor than regular ABS, but if you are doing long prints, you will notice the smell and if you are sensitive, it may cause a headache. Just my opinion, but this seems to have a bit more odor than their TitanX filament. So you may want you printer in another room, use some sort of filtration, or just have an enclosure.This material *CAN* warp, but it is much less prone to warping than ABS. I am using a textured pei flexible bed. I sometimes use brim "ears" for printing and for smaller objects, I don't use any brim/ears at all.I've gone through several rolls of this stuff and plan to order more. Yes, it is more expensive than regular ASA filament, but I like that it just works with minimal fuss and I get great results.Don't waste your money on this stuff if you are just doing speed benchies, but if you are doing functional parts, then this is definitely worth trying.

El producte és de molta qualitat, algo car però, s'han de fer certes proves abans de trovar la configuració d'impressió, però una vegada la tens és molt bona opció com alternativa al PETG si es vol alguna cosa més tècnica i resistent en tipus de engranatges etc., dona un nivell d'acabat molt bo, sense pèrdua de detalls amb boquilles de 0,4mm, això aquells que tenen més pràctica saben del que parlo....en fi, jo el tornaré a comprar.

Ich habe mir damit eine Navihalterung fürs Kajak gedruckt. Es ist meine erste Rolle "ASA". Der Druck hat auf Anhieb besser als mit ABS geklappt. Warping hatte ich nur ganz leicht an Überhängen, an graden Wänden überhaupt nicht. Wie die Haltbarkeit ist wird sich zeigen es ist ja kein "reines" ASA und lässt sich deswegen wohl besser drucken.

avevo necessità di stampare pezzi con buone caratteristiche meccaniche e resistenza alla temperatura, e ho deciso di provare questo filamento. Conoscevo già i prodotti Formfutura che mi hanno sempre convinto in termini di qualità e di risultati, e anche questo non mi ha deluso.Molto più "semplice" da usare rispetto all'abs, ha caratteristiche simili di stampa (245 estrusore, 100 piatto) e un adesione ottima, inoltre le stampe vengono bene con un ottima adesione dei layer. Il costo è sopra la media amazon, è vero, ma nella mia esperienza ho capito che stampare con buoni filamenti vi farà perdere molto meno tempo e darà generalemente risultati migliori. In conlusione, consiglio l'acquisto a chi necessita di pezzi meccanicamente resistenti e con buona tenuta a temperatura e raggi uv!
