Gizmo Dorks 1.75mm PVA Filament 0.5kg for 3D Printers, Natural

Haven't figured out if it's my settings or the filament but it doesn't seem to stick to PLA as expected. I have tried plenty of support configurations and while it sticks to the glass bed just fine it occasionally has issues when sticking to PLA and PLA doesn't always want to stick to it. Also, I noticed that it kinda drips a little after tool changes and despite my tweaks I still can't find a retraction configuration that both stops this issue and allows the nozzle to start printing immediately without priming on a purge wall. That all being said when things go according to plan it does exactly what it's supposed to and dissolves away well. It just seems to be slightly more temperamental then PLA and will require a lot of trial and error. I will update if I am able to find settings that allow me to print supports reliably.

Extrudes fairly well at 190C (some info on PVA says 90C?! OMGDONT). DOES NOT STICK TO ABS. Might work well with PLA, but haven't tried it. I wanted to use this with ABS because I'm in idiot. To reiterate, DOES NOT STICK TO ABS! THIS WILL NOT WORK WITH ABS PRINTS.Dissolves very well and quickly in water (warm, regularly replenished works best).It's got the consistency of a wet noodle, so a little more difficult to work with than a standard filament.With its softness, it can jam the extruder by winding itself around the knurled wheel that drives the filament if fed improperly or fed into a jammed nozzle.If it weren't for that gotcha, 5 stars.

This one gave good results. Like every PVA you need to find the right speed and temperature. This one gave a good range, lower temp./high speed gave more flexibility, lower speed gave more strength.

This is the worst PVA I have ever used. Just looking at the filament you can see all sorts of diameter issues. It doesn’t feed well at all and jammed my nozzle twice at two different temperature settings. It doesn’t stick to anything well. It’s cheap and the quality is cheap too.

It's tricky to work with, watch your temps! This is NOT PLA! 160 degrees temp. Dont cook this stuff at over 200.Once you get it down, it is awesome. Finish a print, pop it off plate and drop it in warm water.Watching it dissolve, knowing you don't have to spend forever picking at plastic supports is a great thing.It does stick well to PLA. Enjoy...WATCH YOUR TEMPS!

The roll I got wasn't even 1.75 mm. It was 1.63 mm out of the box! The printer had issues just grabbing the filament with it being so far out of spec. I broke down and paid double for prusa branded PVA.

Great

Printed OK on my MakerGear at 180c. Problem is that it only became slimy and never dissolved. Kept replacing water for 18 hours. Never dissolved. Will be returning it since it does not work.
