			<description><![CDATA[<p>After reviewing <a href="https://www.filastruder.com/collections/pellets/products/pa757-abs-pellets">PA757</a> and <a href="https://www.filastruder.com/collections/pellets/products/irogran-a85-pellets">A85</a>, the new polymer bug has bitten me. I recently ordered a few different materials to play around with including Terluran GP-35 from 3dsupplysource.com. I have played with several ABS types so I knew what I was in for and the only review I found on this was hardly informative. So away we go...</p><p><strong>Extruder:</strong> <br />Mostly stock Filastruder v1.6 #1870 extruding vertically with full barrel header wrap insulation, melt filter, and a Filawinder<br /><span class="postimg"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/5yJrPZ9.jpg" alt="http://i.imgur.com/5yJrPZ9.jpg" /></span></p><p><strong>Drying:</strong> <br />The pellets came with no desiccant so drying is recommended. I dried mine for 4 hours in an ultra cheap Rondo dehydrator. Temps were around 159f. After drying, the pellets were immediately transferred into an old OS3DP bag with 3 desiccant packs for good measure, then sealed and stored into a moisture-seal tupperware.<br /><span class="postimg"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/n3OAdZj.jpg" alt="http://i.imgur.com/n3OAdZj.jpg" /></span></p><br /><p><strong>Extrusion:</strong><br />Temp: 190.0c<br />Rate: Speed was a grueling 5-7&quot; per minute.<br />Average diameter: 1.785mm +/- 0.02mm <br />I would personally give GP-35 an average of 0.01mm tolerance, but outside of 4&#039; in length I had a couple inconsistencies. <br /><span class="postimg"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/147XiB4.jpg" alt="http://i.imgur.com/147XiB4.jpg" /></span><br /><span class="postimg"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/HnDLMz5.jpg" alt="http://i.imgur.com/HnDLMz5.jpg" /></span></p><p><strong>Printer:</strong> <br />Highly modified home built SD2- Lawsy carriages, E3D Titan extruder, E3D v6, E3D Volcano 0.6mm brass nozzle, direct Y drive, DRV8825 stepper driver, Supernight PSU, bed stabilizers</p><p><strong>Printing:</strong> <br />An upscaled keychainless Marvin, Filawinder part, and a Florida Gator...my father-in-law is a Gator nut. <br />All .1976mm layer height <br />90% infill<br /><span class="postimg"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/xgRhCu7.jpg" alt="http://i.imgur.com/xgRhCu7.jpg" /></span></p><p>Part for a Massive Geared Heart which I make for my daughter every birthday.<br />.3951mm height<br />60% infill<br /><span class="postimg"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/TIhRubo.jpg" alt="http://i.imgur.com/TIhRubo.jpg" /></span></p><p><strong>Comparison to available filament:</strong> <br />None. Most ABS filament has a sheen which reflects light whereas GP35 behaves likes PA747 and is more of a flat/matte finish. I have never purchased filament that behaves like GP35, but I know most filament manufacturers actually use a custom blend of several different polymers.</p><p><strong>Takeaway and comments:</strong> <br />As stated, the extrusion speed is the biggest setback of GP35. It is very affordable, so I may end up using GP35 to stretch out my supply of other ABS types since the speed is ungodly slow. At 50-60% slower than MG94, GP35 is hardly reliable for producing filament for anything other than hobby. I prefer the matte /flat finish materials even though they are slower in extrusion speed, but a straight GP35 blend is ridiculous. <br />Enough beating the dead horse on speed, I will say that in contrast to PA747 (my personal favorite), GP35 does not &quot;smell like cancer&quot;. The odor from GP35 is exceptionally mild which may please people looking for a filament with a flat finish without assaulting the senses. And unlike MG94, PA747, and PA757, GP345 has more of a grey coloration in the virgin uncolored state; This should be observed before adding in colorant.</p><p><strong>Update:</strong><br />I blended some MG94 in and the speed has dramatically increased. This will be a limited run since it is simply out curiosity, but I will add a better documented method soon. Since the GP35 is a touch darker than MG94 it will be interesting how it turns out and if it will or will not have color banding.</p>]]></description>
