Ive been buying most of my filament from 3DEA for years now. I can't think of a single time I've been let down. Wide selection that's very very rarely out of stock, and their "house Brand" is nicely priced and prints bloody good. Read Less

Outstanding advice and service. One conversation and a simple order with them, and we finally have our SunluS9 printer up and running again after weeks of troubleshooting. 10/10 Read Less

13 March 2024 - Review for:PETG-CF – Carbon Fibre Enhanced PETG FilamentInteresting combination of materials. Has the stiffness of ASA but the toughness of PETG. Also like ASA, I found a tendency for the layers to separate if printed with the same temp as PETG. Raising the extruder temperature helped, but then I found blobs forming. A good balance seems to be 242degC with a touch of fan.I'm printing on a Garolite print bed and found I had to bring the bed temp down to 70degC, any hotter and the print is very hard to remove!Also, remember you'll need a steel nozzle, as apparently the CF will ream out your orifice quick smart. The filament is hygroscopic so needs to be dried before use.My suggestion - get PETG printing well, before moving onto this filament.My printing factors currently:Ender3 v2 with MicroSwiss DD Extruder 0.6mm hardened steel MicroSwiss Nozzle Retraction: 1.5mm Garolite Printbed Extruder Temp: 242degC Fan: 5% always on | Bridges: 40% Layer Height: .24mm Perim: 35mm/s Small Perim: 25 mm/s Ext PErim: 20 mm/sREVIEW FOR ASA Blue-GreyPrinted the three parts in the photo attached, individually on an Ender 3 v2 without an enclosure, but with a printed draft shield.Nozzle at 250 degC first layer, then 246 degC for the following layers Bed at 102 degC first layer, then 98 degC for the following layersNote: I have a Capricorn PTFE Bowden Tube. Better temp durability than E3v2 stock Bowden tube.My bed plate is Garolite wet sanded with 1200 grit wet n dry and cleaned between prints with Isopropyl and paper towel.You don't want to be in the same room as the printer when printing ASA - smells bad. Also, once the first layer has finished, keep the door closed to avoid drafts.Print rough smoothed using 240 grit sandpaper, then 1200 wet n dry - wet sanded. ASA sands easily and down to a great finish.Next step is try printing in an enclosure and to try Acetone smoothing :)NOTE: The supplied filament reel's centre-hole is too small for my Ender 3 v2 reel holder. I use a dryer so all good, would be frustrating if you wanted to use a stock holder. EDIT: Must have had my eyes closed - The spool holes have filler plates! Removing these plates and my conundrum was solved :) Read Less
