Topic: Cyrolite HiFlo made transparent filament

I scavenged some acryllic Cyrolite Hiflo pellets as in

http://www.cyrolite.com/product/cyrolit … fault.aspx

I managed to make excellent transparent filament using the filastruder using the extrusion temperature of 208C and inclination of 30 degrees on the filastruder.

Extrusion temperature on the Davinci at 250C, bed at 90C. Good adhesion using hairspray and glue, no clogging of the nozzle or any issues.

I can do a 1:100 colorant using some MG94 pale white or tan pellets to not confuse the optical sensor in the Davinci, although it works even without.

The occasional air bubbles do not make the filament brittle or create any issues with the prints.

Posting pictures soon and also review of the blue Cyrolite that looks like crystal meth from Breaking Bad.

Re: Cyrolite HiFlo made transparent filament

Air bubbles indicate it was not sufficiently dried prior to extrusion.

Re: Cyrolite HiFlo made transparent filament

Thats quite lots of airbubbles, super fail, as above mention dry your pellets. 5 Hour drying should do fine.
