FormFutura Centaur PP 1.75mm Natural 3D Printer Filament, Dimensional Accuracy < +/- 0.05mm

My wife bought some extra large utensils that didn't fit well in our existing dishwasher utensil holder, so I saw an opportunity to design a solution on the 3D printer. At first I tried annealed PETG which worked ok, but still deformed a little during the drying cycle. I didn't want to use ABS because it's not food safe. So after some research I found this material. It's expensive but looked like what I needed.So far it's held up really well. No deforming in the dishwasher even during the drying cycle (which is about 180F). The one downside is it's floppy - not as floppy as TPU, but not as stiff as PLA. Probably somewhere in between those two. It was stiff enough to create the holder in the picture which flips up like a door and it's completely functional.So I'm very happy with this stuff. I wish it were less expensive and I'd probably use it a lot more. It was easy to print as well. Mostly used by standard PETG settings on my Ender 3 with all metal hot end - 240C nozzle, 80-90C bed. Slowed the speed down to 20mm/s and increased the flow for the first print (which is around what I'd use for TPU due to lack of direct drive). I did have to use a brim to get one problem corner to stick to the bed, which was probably the one area that I need to do some work.

The media could not be loaded.  Easy to print and an absolute killer for handling phosphoric acid at a concentration level of 85%. So printed NPT pipe ends, the other option was to machine some from PP, but this did the trick wonderfully. Printing was somehow challenging, I only upped the extrusion to somewhere around 122% and that was it. First layer is a pain though, regular packing tape did the trick but forgot to set my z offset and tore the tape apart the first time, second time was better.

I've printed this on two separate machines one with direct drive, and one with a shorter bowden tube. They both printed great. Form Futura has really impressed me with this material. I highly recommend this material as a professional, and enthusiast in the Industrial Additive Manufacturing industry.

The spool in the picture on this site is cardboard but the one they ship is non-recyclable plastic

Prints very easily and sticks well using packing tape on the bed with a heated bed. I printed at 235C with a 60C bed and 110% flow to get a fairly clear and watertight print. As long as you print slow enough using a direct drive extruder, prints will go easy - it is a very flexible filament.On the downside, this is advertised as a 750g spool but I received a 500g spool. This makes the product considerably more expensive per gram than advertised and I would have sent it back if I hadn’t immediately needed it.

In several spots the filament is less than the stated 1.75mm, down to 1.2mm, and clogged my extruded—the small piece got wrapped in the gear. The 1.75mm part works well though. Best settings: 240c nozzle, 80c bed.

I used this product to construct draft columns for bioreactors. This product melted far below the promised 130c leaving me with 8 stringy messes

Seeing a lot of confusion in the reviews, hate to add to it but I'm confused as well. I ordered a 750g roll of black Apollo X. received Black Apollo X 750g. I ordered this item Centaur PP white 750g, received Centaur PP white 500g.I'm hoping my project comes in under 500g, or that I'm still in the return window.

Stampo a 235°. Buon prodotto

gutes PP Filament

Qualität des filament leider schlecht

Materiale molto interessante, flessibile e molto resistente, facile da stampare. Molto utile per realizzare sistemi meccanici e tecnici. Stampato senza problemi al primo colpo su piano forato a 30°, temperatura estrusore 220°.
