Gizmo Dorks 1.75mm PLA Filament 1kg / 2.2lb for 3D Printers, Black

Maybe I got a bad batch, because this filament has been the most finicky and temperamental filament I've ever worked with. I'm printing on an Artillery Sidewinder X1 and it barely gets finished printing the brim/first few layers of a print before clogging. I saw evidence of heat creep so I fiddled with the temperatures with no luck. I went so far as to redo the same print in 1 degree increments from 180 degrees to 220 degrees but to no avail, it was either too cold or too hot. I have disassembled my tool head and cleaned the nozzle multiple times but that didn't seem to work either. In a fit of frustration I cranked the toolhead up to 270 degrees celsius and purged 10 meters of filament through the nozzle before lowering the temperature to 195 degrees and redoing my print. I came back 8 hours later to an immaculate print.Another print of mine just failed at 195 degrees so I purged another 10 meters at 270 degrees and restarted the print. I'm not hopeful, and having to purge so much filament before each print to avoid clogging issues is extremely unnecessary. Will not be buying gizmo dorks again.

I had been using this same filament as part of a multipack and it was a 200g roll. Worked great and i have pretty good mini-sized prints with it. Bought a full 1 kg roll and I cant get the stuff the print with any decent quality. Constantly underextruded surfaces, even when I'm getting too much squish on the first layer because my nozzle is too close to my bed it seems to have a problem adhering well to itself. I get a lot if pimpling and bumps on the sides of prints. Prints often warp off the bed unless a brim is used. I've played with bed temp, nozzle temp, flow rate, print speed, retraction speed and distance to name a few that have helped a bit. However nothing comes close to the quality of the first roll of 200g green I had previously.Edit: The manufacturer shipped me a replacement roll and it prints great. I must have gotten a bad roll

We needed white to complete a nativity scene for a project. We went for Gizmo Dorks because A) it was one of the cheapest, and B) it was prime next day and we needed it fast. Our previous white was from Hatchbox, but when it got down to a certain point, it knotted up and caused two print failures, and we never removed or touched the spool after dozens of good prints. It was how it was wound from the factory and thank sucks.Turns out, the Gizmo Dorks white is excellent. It's not a bone color or yellowish like some people are claiming. Perhaps they need better lightning. We've had nothing but perfect adhesion and flawless large prints! I also love the transparent spool so you can actually see how much filament is left. All you companies with your ancient solid spools, take note! Will look into other GD colors when needed!

When I first printed with this I noticed that it was coming out dark and almost burnt so I had to lower the print temp then the one recommended for this filament, then after my first print the filament broke, luckily it was in the first 5 minutes of my second print and fortunately, my printer has a filament sensor. I thought that it was just tangled and it snapped the line but when I went to feed it again the tip crumbled, the rest of the filament seems fine but I was disappointed seeing as I have heard good things from gizmo dorks filament. This is the first time I've had a filament break on me and I've used a variety of different brands. this filament also seems to be slightly stuck to itself on the role so there are cracking sounds as it unrolls, it doesn't affect the quality however it makes it sound as if the supports of the print itself are breaking off the build plate.

This stuff prints great.I've heard of this brand ever since I started printing a few years ago, but always looked for cheaper deals. I needed Orange in a pinch and they had the best price this time around. I've extremely happy. All around. I love the clear spool, I like how light it is AND the material is made to print anything. I haven't had a single issue with any prints. I will DEFINITELY be buying this brand again.

Better unroll this spool and re roll it before you begin to print.I have had no issues using Gizmo Dorks in the past, until now, this is my 2nd attempt to printing off a 2 day print job.The filament is not wound correctly, about half way through the spool the filament is twisted and causes the extruder to jam up. IT has burned through half this roll with my 2 attempts to print this STL off.I have unrolled the complete spool and attempted a 3rd print off this roll, i hopes that this will solve the problem. Unfortunately I will not be purchasing this again from this vendor, I have wasted an entire 1KG roll on a single print that should have taken 1/4 of this roll to complete. Not happy

This White PLA (1.75mm) prints really well... actually better than a lot of the other PLA brands I have BUT... it's definitely not pure white. More like a white that's been in a smokers house for a few decades. More of an off-white or yellow-ish white. I can say for sure that out of about 8 other brands of white PLA that I have, this one is the least white but probably prints the best.I've attached images of the settings that I use for my CR-10S 400 and 0.8mm volcano nozzle. This one seems to like a temperature of 195 degrees C for my setup.

Hasta ahorita puedo decir que es un excelente filamento... trabaja bien y es consistente sin generar problema alguno de impresión

Compré este filamento por qué me pareció que la marca era de buena calidad, el filamento en si no es malo, pero la manera en la que está enrollado al carrete es pésima y por eso me ha dado problemas.
