HATCHBOX PETG 3D Printer Filament, Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.03 mm, 1 kg Spool, 1.75 mm, Red

We are huge fans of Hatchbox brand filament. This was my first try at the PETG filament. So far we have been rather pleased with it. We are running a Wanhao Duplicator I3 3d printer. Hatchbox filament continues to provide us with a product that is great quality. We have tried other name brands and always come back to Hatchbox.

Excellent product. Delivered the same day I purchased it for $30.I simply changed my print temperatures on my mk2 and it worked perfectly, no extra tuning required.This was my first time working with a material other than PLA so I was a bit worried that I would have to put a bit of time into tuning my printer. Luckily, it was easier than I ever hoped it could be.It sticks well to the bed, and my extruder can feed it like a champ.Great product at a great price, not much to hate.

I don't know why people don't bring up this filament as often as PLA or ABS, but it definitely deserves to be a first-class citizen in those kind of talks. It prints almost as easy as PLA, and is almost as strong as ABS. There's no smell, and it's pretty damn dimensionally accurate. Give it a shot.Color-wise, it's very glossy, like... it almost looks gelatin-like, but very hard.

Its ok. Its not the best I've used, nor the worst. As one or two other reviewers have noted, the quality of the print from this filament isn't all that great. It seems to be sporadic on what temps it wants to use on any given day. One day 240 is perfect, then the next print I do just a few hours later, 240 is burning the filament and I have to take it apart to unjam the nozzle. Then one day it'll work perfect at 230 and next print on the same day it doesn't melt it at all and it just grinds the filament. Its very inconsistent with a genuine e3d v6 hotend and duet wifi controller board. Its weird. I've had to just set it at 235 and give it some wiggle room with the holding temp. Basically when it pushes more filament through it heats up 2 degrees, and when its slower it cools down 2 degrees. This seems to keep the plastic flowing without jamming or burning.Currently I'm running with a home made prusa i3 type clone.100mm/s infill print speed70mm/s perimeter speed40mm/s outer perimeter speed230mm/s travel speed235C with slight tweak to holding temp to give slightly variable holding tempsA few other things to note:Support for this filament is a pain in the ass. I had the Silver PETG from HatchBox and I will tell you right now to just throw it away. Silver filament from them in general is just garbage from my experience... 4 rolls of silver consisting of both ABS and PETG, and the finish on both of them is utterly terrible.... tiny holes all over the place and so freaking rough... i'm surprised my nozzles never were torn up. its only plus was that support was a dream. It would snap off by hand so easily and while the finish was rough as stated, at least it was consistent and looked proper. The support for this Red stuff is just utterly annoying... it adheres too strongly to the part so you have to break the larger chunks off and then use a knife to cut the parts attached to the print. I've broken several prints so far because of this, and they were pretty hefty prints that were pretty strong in of themselves... but just trying to rip and tug that support away was enough to pull the shell of the print with it!The overall finish of this is pretty decent. its smooth to the touch and is highly glossy. Not as glossy as eSun's red filament, but still pretty glossy. It suffers from the same hiccups as the eSun red PETG as well. It leaves off colored red dots whenever there is a layer change or whenever it shifts to print the outside perimeter. It also occasionally seems to fold in on itself somehow. As in, when its doing the outer perimeter, the inner perimeters shrink and leaves little holes or pockets... its weird... Only the red eSun PETG has done this to me in the past, so I'm wondering if its just because of the red dye maybe? The only filament I haven't had any issues what so ever with, was Hatchbox's Blue ABS. It was my very first roll of Filament and I used it when I first made my "janky printer" as i called it. It was literally made from a swing set and mimicked a makerbot style printer but with two Z Axis motors. I placed the linear rods for that printer at very stupid locations and so whenever it would lower, the bed would wobble and so I never had consistent layer heights and what not. But surprisingly enough, the Blue ABS just printed and worked every time with almost no warping what so ever. Hell, the current printer I'm using was built from parts made on that janky printer, and they still are holding strong!So all in all, this is 'ok' filament. I've REALLY been wanting to get some of their Blue PETG but every time I run out of filament, the blue is always sold out or not offered on amazon prime so its like, 27-30 bucks instead of the standard 24... So not gonna buy at that price!I'll upload some pics in a while when I can get some good example prints that I'll be keeping around and isn't meant for someone else lol.

A little more challenging to work with than PLA but after some tweaking it's performed well. Very durable product. Like other PETG has a tendency to string but has been much better than ESUN for me.

Prints great but it’s a bit stringy and bridges aren’t the best. But that’s pretty common with PETG.

As always, great and reliable filament from Hatchbox. Consistent diameter, prints great around 250C with heated bed 85C on FlashForge printer. Reminder: You will need all metal hot end to print this filament.

I recently switched from printing primarily with ABS to PETG. Hatchbox makes some of the better filament I have used and this PETG prints very cleanly. I have a Robo3d R1+ and am using Simplify3d for software. Below are the settings I've found to work best for me and attached is a picture showing my feed settings. I also added a end script to maintain a 38C bed temperature once the print is finished to prevent damage to the glass bed. If you're looking for other PETG options I've also had some of the best prints out of Taulman3d Guidel!ne filament. It's a bit more pricey but it is some of the best filament I've used and it's also FDA approved.Extruder Temperature = 242Bed Temperature = 452nd line of Ending Script = M140 S38 ; maintain 38C bed temp.

Ich beziehe mich hier auf „HATCHBOX 1,75 mm PETG-Filament – ROT“.Geliefert wurde das vakuumverschweißte Filament in einer bedruckten Verpackung. Ich hatte zuerst das Gelbe getestet und war sehr zufrieden. Inzwischen hatte ich auch das rote PETG auf dem Drucker. Auch hier war nicht nur der erste Eindruck positiv. Für den Preis ist das Material wirklich gut. Die Lieferung kam auch sehr schnell, was allerdings kein Produktmerkmal sein dürfte. :-)Ich teste das Filament derzeit auf meinem CTC (Replicator 2 Clone) bei 245°C und einer Betttemperatur von 80°C auf einer angeschliffenen Pertinax-Platte. Die Haftung ist sehr gut, es ist kein Warping feststellbar. Anders als bei manch anderen günstigen Filamenten treten auch keine unangenehmen Gerüche auf. Der Farbvergleich vor und nach dem Drucken (Filament zu Druckartikel) zeigt keinen Unterschied. (Ich sehe jedenfalls keinen und die Farbe ist sehr intensiv.) Auch mechanisch verhält es sich wie PETG eben sein sollte – nicht spröde sondern eher elastisch.Ich hatte Gelb und Rot bestellt und werde, sobald es wieder verfügbar ist, auch noch andere Farben bestellen.Auf den Bildern ist ein Prototyp eines Drukkopfes für meinen neuen Drucker zu sehen. Hier kam das rote und gelbe Filament zum Einsatz.

It extrudes inconsistently, causing lumps and globs in the print. When the printhead goes over these lumps it causes a head crash every time, potentially damaging the printer. I've experienced far better printing from other brands of PETG for the same price so I won't be buying this again.

Hatchbox PETG has excellent first layer adhesion at 80C and clean glass. No warping on most parts. Good strength and stringing is no worse than with PLA.
