Polymaker PolyLite Yellow 3D Printer PETG Filament 1.75mm 1kg, Legacy PETG Formula, +- 0.03mm Dimensional Accuracy, Reliable Everyday Filament, Strong Layer Bonding, Compatible with Most 3D Printers

Edit after more prints: If you slow your printer speed down to 50mm/s, 1mm retraction, 250C, it works amazingly! That was the change I made on my Prusa Core One. I think if it prints too quickly there isn’t enough time for the just laid filament to dry before the next layer which is what causes it to melt back onto the nozzle. That and Slice Engineering’s non stick paint helped a load! Original: The orange is not enjoyable to print with at all. I’ve tried multiple settings and nozzles yet this filament still creates build up on the nozzle and strings wildly. I’ve dried this spool down to 12% and lower yet I still have these issues. I personally wouldn’t recommend this filament. I will be sticking with Overture PETG or Voxel PETG. Their filament works amazing every time.

This was my 3rd time printing with PETG, I ordered this specific color to match my drone parts I needed to print. My first impression was WOW it matches perfectly. This filament has great adhesion the color does not change to a little lighter or darker it is very consistent. It did have very minimal stringing but that can be corrected in you slice settings. its very user friendly so don't be discouraged

A little bit of background: I've used Polymaker's PETG before, in translucent clear, and that's been a fantastic filament printing on my Ender 3 Pro with direct drive, E3D Revo with a .8mm nozzle and even on a textured PEI bed, no problems with that at 35mm/s - 55mm/s. Prints are strong, mostly warp free and look good aesthetically. For reference, the pictured prints were attempted on my Voron V0.2 with an E3D Revo with a .6mm nozzle, albeit quite a bit faster at around 100mm/s, which while faster than the recommended print speed on the spool, is no problem for other brands of PETG and PLA, those prints come out clean and well defined. Which is why it's baffling that the purple PolyLite PETG is so, just, bad at sticking to itself. It warps at the edges almost instantly, overhangs are completely hopeless, bridging is fine only if there's a single layer, any more than one layer of bridging and it'll shift the other lines of filament and cause even more problems. What looks like overheating layers seems to either be what it is, or a large lack of filament adhesion to itself in general. I tried to slow down the prints, down to about 60-70mm/s, but even then, the filament struggled to adhere to other lines and layers below past a certain point, telling me at least that there seemed to be an odd heat creep issue, which was more apparent in the temp tower, with sagging overhangs and bridges getting worse as the nozzle was getting cooler. Is it being printed too quickly? I'm not too sure, but there's not really any reason to pick this at all for modern printers that can print decently quickly if that's the issue. Pick any other PETG, even other Polymaker PETGs, especially the clear, unless you really need this color for some reason.

I've been printing with this stuff for a couple of days and I'm very happy with bed adhesion, layer adhesion, and dimensional accuracy. Six stars for the plastic! Cardboard spool is another big plus. Color was a little disappointing. The color is, in fact, exactly as presented in the picture of the product on the website--yellow with an orange cast. I thought maybe it was a lighting or photo issue, but I was mistaken. I've never bought a spool of "yellow" filament this color in the past, and I've been 3D printing for over ten years. Assumptions are never good things.

This was the perfect shade of yellow for some noodle prints. Had some tangle issues on the first print though, but the other 3 prints turned out amazing.

Despite the packaging suggesting printing between 230C and 240C, I found this printed better at 250C. I'm still getting the printer dialled in to use this filament. This is definitely only useful to people with time to tinker with the settings. If you just want to put it in your printer and go, this is not the right filament.

My PETG settings. 250C at 20mm sec speed, 20% fan, 80C bed, .12 layer height, I’m brand new to 3D printing. Ironing makes the top layer look really nice. It’s a midi step sequencer. My first experience with PETG so I have nothing to compare it to. PETG cools off quick and prefers higher temps for better adhesion. Since it prints at higher temp than PLA account for shrinkage when it cools. Dimensional accuracy with PETG is challenging. Heat inserts take a little more effort than with PLA but still work great. Also got some Clear PETG which I printed a Mail Boombox with. Total print time 130 hours. It lights up when there's activity at my real mailbox. All the lines in the image is simply the infill pattern showing through. The outside of the arch feels smooth as butter, prints amazingly well when you have your settings dialed in. Polymaker PETG is now my go to filament for PETG in any color including clear (when it's available).

After seeing a lot of advertising and people being paid to promote this brand, I was excited to try it. Compared to Ellegoo or bamboo lab the stuff is way harder to print with. For whatever reason sometimes it doesn’t wanna stick sometimes it doesn’t wanna hear on the after the first layer, but there was five print failures for every one successful project. This trail filament didn’t make me want to try more of this variety when it did work printed really good, but not better I’d say than other brands of filament I tried changing print settings and tuning it and while I did get some good prints, most the time for whatever reason or various reasons they would fail. I had a lot of spaghetti monsters a lot of adhesion issues that common remedies didn’t fix or weren’t needed on other filament varieties.

Filament quality is exceptional. Best white PETG quality I've ever tried yet.

Pro: -tolle Farbe Contra: -Haftungsprobleme ohne Kleber -Zog trotz trocknen Fäden -teuer -musste recht langsam damit fahren Hatte es mir gekauft, weil ich das PolyTerra Filament gut find. Allerdings bin ich damit nicht gut gefahren. Kauf mir in Zukunft anderes PETG

Ich hatte mir das PETG von Polymaker nach etlichen Youtube-Videos bestellt und bin wirklich enttäuscht. Die Layer halten überhaupt nicht zusammen und der Druck fühlt sich eher wie schlechtes PLA an. Komplett starr und bricht sehr schnell. Das kenn ich von PETG überhaupt nicht und ich drucke schon seit 3 Jahren fast täglich. Ich habe etliche China-Filamente, Amazon-Filamente usw durch und leider gehört Polymaker Polylite zu den Schwächsten. Ich war mir sogar so unsicher, ob ich vielleicht das falsche Filament gekauft habe, aber es handelt sich laut Verpackung ganz sicher um PETG. Von außen sieht der Druck in Ordnung aus. Meinem Geschmack nach ist es zu matt, aber es gibt bestimmt viele andere, die es genau so mögen. Vielleicht hatte ich auch nur Pech mit meiner Rolle, aber seh auch keinen Grund nochmal zu bestellen, falls ich nochmal so eine Rolle bekomme. :(

Schönes Filament. Hatte beim Drucken keinerlei Probleme und die Farbe gefällt mir sehr gut
