This stuff prints okay. It doesn't warp as badly as the Solidoodle ABS, but it isn't as strong either. It also pops all the time! This leads to a rough finish and gaps in the print. I'm not sure why it does that, as I haven't really had any moisture problems with any of my other filaments. Nylon a little bit, but even it wasn't this bad! I think I will try a different brand of HIPS.

I have tried these filaments numerous times with a lot of different settings. After my recent success with PLA once I flipped the fan on my Press I even went back and tried most of these again, along with T-glase (which I had moderate success with, but still jammed on longer prints.)

I am not convinced that I actually got the right material from globalFSD on this one. Supposedly it is Ingeo, or a kind of PLA, but I couldn't get it to extrude at all until I hit about 230º, and that was with some help. It does extrude pretty well at 250º, but the layer adhesion is very poor, and it doesn't seem particularly strong. It also shrinks a lot as it cools, and was moderately difficult to get stuck to the bed.

The good news is that I couldn't detect any odor what so ever as it was printing. It didn't smell sweet like PLA, or harsh like ABS. It just didn't smell like anything.

In short, it prints pretty well at high temps, but doesn't have very good mechanical properties.

As printing PLA on the Press is normally next to impossible, I really struggled to get this filament to print, but then I saw a post on the Press forum about flipping the fan around on the extruder, and with this simple little tweak I was able to get PLA to print pretty well! I did have some trouble getting it to stick to the bed initially (glass with glue stick) but increasing the temperature to 70º seemed to fix it.

The filament itself is very pretty, and seems pretty tough and has really good layer adhesion. If it were just a bit easier to print on the press I would have given it a full 10/10.

I lied about HIPS. This is my new favorite filament! It prints like a dream at these settings, the layer adhesion is incredible, and the strength and toughness is fantastic. Also, no warp and no obnoxious fumes. The only downsides are a relatively high price ($50/0.75Kg) and the very limited colors. Right now it is only available in black and white.

But, I like it enough that I went ahead and bought two reels of it!

Any further off topic posts will be deleted.

This filament was a little bit tricky, but I was able to get pretty good results with it. My first two tries I ran into the classic Press jamming problem, but once I turned the temperature down to 190º C I was able to finish my cube print.

This filament is shiny! Also, it is very smooth to the touch, seeming to almost not have any friction. I did have some small holes appear in the print, and I'm not really sure what caused them, but they could be a problem for art prints.

This filament has a sweet smell, similar to PLA, when being printed.

This stuff prints very well, and with less shrink than ABS. It still smells when printing, but it didn't seem as strong as ABS. Overall, I feel like HIPS is possibly a better 3D printing filament than ABS, and might move to it as my primary filament! (Probably not this color though!)

This filament printed just like normal ABS, but it really does seem to have a slicker surface than normal ABS. I bet that in a wearing location the difference would be even more striking! When I just extruded a little bit of filament from the hot end, it seemed a little lumpy, but that didn't seem to have any real impact on the final quality of the print.

Sadly I had a very similar experience trying to print this material as T-Glase. The extruder just isn't good at these kinds of materials. I am working on a way to increase the cooling so that I can give these materials another try, as I feel like they are good materials, just difficult to print on the Press.

I was actually surprised that I got this to print first try without any real trouble. I had always heard that Nylon was one of the more difficult materials to print, but I didn't have any problem.

I dried the loose filament on the bed of the printer at 95º C for about an hour before printing. I did set Soliprint to slow down on layers that would print in less than 180 seconds (So, every layer in this print. It is the only reliable way that I have found for slowing the printer down using Soliprint.) It printed pretty well, but it could probably use a bit more heat. The interlayer adhesion wasn't the best, so I would probably try 260º C if I were to print this again. It is really strong in the x/y direction though!

I did have one corner lift slightly off of the bed. I bet that this could be a problem with bigger prints, but it seemed to stick pretty well to glue stick on glass. If I were doing a bigger print I would clean the glass and put down some fresh glue. (I have been using pretty much the same glue for all of these prints, only occasionally putting down a little bit more.)

Edit: I ended up doing another print at 260º and it is much better. I wouldn't go much hotter than that though, since I could see the PTFE starting to melt on the heater cartridge.
