ATARAXIA ART Flexible PLA Filament 1.75mm, 3D Printer Premium 1Kg/2.2lb Winded Spool 5X Longer Stretch,Easy Than TPU Extruder,89A Shore Hardness,Patent Formula, with Filament Storage Bags, FPLA Brown

Very pleased with this filament for the price. I was skeptical at first since all the reviews were glowing and all published within a short time period, but decided to give it a go since even crummy filament has its place. I needn't have worried! The print in the picture was done almost immediately after opening the roll on a Prusa Mini, no retraction tests, temp towers, or other calibrations performed beyond a live-Z test to ensure a proper first layer. It came out kind of stringy, but again, this was completely without calibration. The color is beautiful and perfectly matches up with the advertised pantone color. Adhesion to the bed (PEI) was actually really strong, and I didn't see any warping or other issues of that nature. The sheen on the print is quite lovely to behold, not quite a silk, but very alluring for a figure model. I'm thinking I might try for a vase print later to see how it works with that, but right now I'm very satisfied with what I'm seeing. Spool is fantastic. Not wound very neatly, but that might not be possible at this price point, and I don't really see it being an issue since it at least was wound tight without any apparent tangles or crosses. What really stands out is the clear labeling to mark the amount of filament remaining and the quite helpful info, including the weight of the spool itself. You can tell this was made by people who actually have experience in 3D printing and who know what is actually helpful, rather than someone who doesn't know much and who thought of this as just a potential cash venture. I haven't tried the vacuum seal bag yet since I already keep all of my open rolls in an airtight storage bin with plenty of dessicants, but it definitely has a premium feel to it. Kind of shocked it's included in a roll that costs $20 with tax. I printed at 210 nozzle, 60 bed, with 0.1 layer height. Zero issues except for the stringing, but again, no tests were done to calibrate for the filament beforehand. Stringing went away after a blast from my heat gun. Tl;Dr: worth it! I'll be running some calibrations to see if I can get it dialed in, and after that, I'm probably ordering a few more rolls!

My wife needed some dark brown filament for the outdoor garden-scale railroad trestles she was printing. PETG seems to be the best filament type for outdoor use, so I went looking. It turns out almost nobody produces dark brown PETG filament. I found this filament from Ataraxia Art for $16.99 for a 1 kg spool. At that price, I was quite skeptical, but on the bright side I wasn't out much if it fell flat. Well... I was VERY pleasantly surprised by this filament! The label boldly says bubble-free, tangle-free, clog-free - and that is exactly the experience I had with this filament! It was exquisitely wound, and is a beautifully-uniform looking material, as seen in the photos above. It comes vacuum sealed, and they even provided a separate 2-roll vacuum bag to store it in (designed for use with a vacuum hose). The label says the print range is 200-240 degC. The temperature tower I printed (see photos - tower and bottom) went from 250 to 200 degC. I was able to easily delaminate the tower at 200 and 205 degC, and 210 deg with a fair amount of pressure. At higher temperatures, it was quite solid, no delamination with quite a bit of force. It even printed well at 245-250 degC, which is above Ataraxia's spec'd printing range. Stringing was for the most part very minimal, and might even be improved with a slightly different retraction settings (I used 6mm, 25mm/sec). All of the overhangs printed well, and huge bridges printed well at 235 degC and above. I printed on a glass bed with three layers of hairspray to avoid over-bonding to the glass, which worked beautifully (I did use a brim as this is a TALL tower). If there is a drawback, it's that the dark brown color doesn't sand well, i.e., sanded areas are definitely lighter in color than non-sanded areas. I would guess that's true of most dark-colored filaments, and probably not a fault of this filament. I can't speak to the strength of this PETG compared to other brands as this is my first PETG roll, but I can say it is the STRONGEST (being the only) brown PETG I could find ;-). Seriously, this filament from Ataraxia seems to be a top quality product -- hugely more than I was expecting for the price. I strongly recommend you give Ataraxia PETG filament a try!

当方が使用しているプリンターとの相性が良く無いのか、温度や印刷速度をなかなか上手く合わせられず、毎回蜘蛛の巣を作成。 1週間ほど格闘したが、諦めてお蔵入り。

Plus facile à imprimer que le tpu

Product seems to get stuck in the printer easily. Was not impressed with it.

Excelente producto.

This filament does live up to it's name of being a flexible PLA that can be used on standard bowden systems like my Ender 3 Pro, however, if this is how it prints when it comes from the supplier (I suspect the filament has moisture issues) I am hesitant to use it again. I have no method of drying filament and living in a fairly dry environment I would suspect the issues cropped up from the packaging facility. The filament came in a standard vacuum sealed bag, but I noticed that it did not have the same normal unshrinking that I find with other filaments when opened. I also reached out to Ataraxia on their website to ask if the problems I am having are normal, got no response. For a company that claims that customer service is their highest priority, not answering customer feedback on their website seems to be a counter to this statement. Over all even with the issues that I am having the filament works okay but I would probably not purchase it again.
