Amazon BasicsPETG 3D Printer Filament, 1.75mm, Translucent, 1 kg Spool

I'm giving it 4 because perhaps it is more fit for the purpose of others.I was hoping for something a little less brittle, having use the basics range before the PETG (Yellow) is a super compound, very strong and flexible. This was incredibly weak to any bending force and final load bearing designs are probably not suitable for this material.It is not transparent in the sense that I had an awful lot of bubbling. Perhaps the settings were off or I should have replaced the nozzle but noting it here.The compound seems to be very stringy whatever the retraction / temp and setting a lower temp it would tend to block very quickly. Again, perhaps experience might have elided this issue.Finally, for bridging and angles it worked great, spanning 30 mm gaps with bridges and handling 65 ish degress gracefully.All in quite a pretty material suitable for low heat lamp housings and the like that don't get a lot of gronk or agro.

Quite a dissapointment. While the outer box provides a nice simple way to package the material the moisture barrier shrink wrap inside is about as thick as kitchen wrap. Not surprisingly this meant there was a hole in the packaging and the fillament arrived with a significantly high moisture content and was brittle and poorly printed. I was able to resolve the issue somewhat by drying the fillament in a dehydrator but Amazon's cheap packaging cost 16 hours of fillament drying time and it still resulted in mediocre prints. This might be a good fillament but I suggest staying away until they improve their packaging.

Not my normal filament but needed a translucent filament for a projectNeeds to be dialled in as there is a lot of stringing on the recommended setting, but once set up it prints well.Its not very translucent is more a “milky” clear finishEven when printed quite thin you can see through it but it does let light through

I've had a few spools of AmazonBasics PLA and PETG and they've all printed perfectly on my Prusa MK2.5S. This is my first spool of translucent filament and I really like the effect. So far, I've printed a lampshade and a phone dock. This filament is excellent value for money and will continue to be my first choice.

I was really impressed with this filament...only printing issue was a few gloopy black bits on larger/longer time prints which apparently is a downside to this type of filament.However it printed well and looked great with LEDs...4/5 loses a star for the gloopy bits

Good material when you start to ignore the manual it starts to work. Nozzle: 233C Get powder coated sheet get it to 90C(10 degrees higher than recommended) and it will stick like PLA. Turn up the cooler and it will bridge well and no stringing if you tune in your retraction and wiping properly.

I've always printed with HD PLA but needed something with a higher glass transition temp for some items.First print was a success with this filament, as have been all subsequent prints. If anything it's easier to get good results than PLA.Will be buying more for sure.

Cheaper than other branded alternatives but at the cost of dimensional accuracy. The filament varied quite significantly through the spool causing a few jams on my Ender 5.Despite this I was able to create some good prints.
