Topic: Stellar Labs ABS Filament

Has anyone tried the Stellar Labs ABS Filament yet?

http://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/310-0128

It would be nice to have a table of filament from different manufacturers and info on how well they work with the Solidoodle and other printers along with the basic settings for best results....

Re: Stellar Labs ABS Filament

I'm about halfway through the spool and it's been working pretty good for me.  It sticks well and the diameter is consistent.  The only issue is that the filament comes off the spool pretty easily and gets stuck on the spool holder until you use about 10%, so you have to babysit it until then.  I'm printing with the fairly normal temp of 215C extruder and 110C bed on SD2 with kapton over aluminum.

Thats kind of sucky to babsit your spool. Try to put something above the spool holder so it does not flap when reaching the end of it.

That's a good idea.
