ICEFIL1PET152 PET filament, 1.75mm, 0.75 kg, Cunning Clear

I found this filament to be very good for the price, it is quite stringy and I had to watch the first layer as a few times the filament stuck to the nozzle. I printed the attached V-Slot strips for diffusers for some LED strip and they came out great.The temperature tower I printed started at 230C and each layer reduced by 5C. All temps seemed fine but I found the following settings worked the best for me:Printer: Creality Ender 3 ProBed Temp: 70CInitial Layer Nozzle: 220CMain Layer Nozzle: 215CPrint Speed: 40mm/sInitial layer Speed 33%

ICE PET filament cunning clear. Printed on GEEETech Pro B, using 220C for extruder and 50C bed heating. It took several test prints at various temperature settings, to achieve a fairly decent print. Settings will need more tweaking to improve prints further. Adhesion is good, when using a UHU stick directly on glass bed. Final finish is frosted white, with some transparency, but this might improve with further changes to settings. Overall I'm pretty pleased with the early results, for the price.

I found that 215 & 70 were good for me, but shall try other settings as new to 3d printing. Use regular wide masking tape (not blue) from screwfix, and a glue stick, and I now have difficulty removing prints!!Do use mild steel surface for induction sensor, which i also got from Amazon.Maybe my temp sensor is not true, will test with multimeter's temp sensor to check....Have ordered second and third batch, and seems consistant too.Gone back to original heat tower values of 232 & 70 for bed. Using it to upgrade my Ctc to a AM8 METAL frame by Pheneeny. Highly recommend LED-GLASS for aluminium frame.

Took a gamble as there were no reviews, glad I did. Prints really well, is a very opaque, shiny black and seems very consistent diameter. I use 235 for the hot end and 80 for the bed, with a coating of PVA on the bed it sticks when hot and pops of as the bed cools.

UPDATE: 16/04/2022The company stated that this product is "Hydrophobic (Does not absorb water) " I found this to be untrue now after a time. At first the PET printed perfectly etc.... Now after a few months, I went to print with it again and it was stringy, bubbles and popping when using a high temperature. So without due, I stopped the print and put the filament into my dehydrator for 2 hours at max temp.I didn't change anything else regarding the printer or settings or anything. Used the same file as before and printed again. Perfect print. Shiny, no stringing or popping. So this filament does indeed absorb water, so it's "HYDROPHILIC"=================================================================================Perfect and is it indeed hydrophobic which is what I need given the high humidity environment my lab is in. It prints extremely well and I have nothing to complain about really.As with all different filaments/manufacturers, I always like to print a Temperature Tower to find the best temperature for printing.

I found that I could get good results from this filament but it took a lot of tuning in. Even the Slicer used made a difference to the final quality (same settings). I did a temperature tower and it was apparent that the useable temperature range was tight. Below 220C there was obvious poor layer adhesion, below 210C things started to get messy and the filament preferred to stick to the outside of the hot end rather than to the previous layer. Above 230C sagging was apparent on overhangs. So 225C for me was the optimum temperature. I also found that printing speeds was critical and my usual 50mm/s was maybe a little too fast.I had no problem with adhesion to my glass bed plate treated with glue stick and heated to 60C. The filament has a slightly sticky feel to it and I suspect this upset my extruder as it was clunking and jumping during retraction process, something I don’t get with any other filament I’ve tried.Yes, this filament works and can produce some nice results if you are prepared to faff around getting the right settings. It’s not at all forgiving. I know it’s a more expensive and doesn’t come in a wide range of colours but the Innofil3D pet-0304 a075 EPR InnoPet is a much easier PET filament to use and personally I would buy this in preference to this ICEFIL1PET152 PET Filament.

Seems very strong compared to petgs I’ve been using. As clear as any other clear filament as far as I can tell. If you are doing a reasonably thick print it will come out more opaque

I have finally been able to produce some acceptable prints using this filament. However, the datasheet and the recommended temperature that is printed on the box seems completely wrong.The datasheet specifies a print temperature between 195°C-220°C while the Amazon listing recommends 230°C-250°C. I just couldn't make it print reliably under 220°C. Some test prints at 215°C came looking nice with minimal stringing, but anything large with multiple retractions ended up jamming the hot end nozzle and the extruder slipping.In the end, I managed to get acceptable prints on an Ender-5 (0.4mm nozzle) using the following settings:* Build plate: 80°C* Nozzle: 240°C* Retraction: 3 mm / 25 mm/s* Print speed: 40 mm/sIncreasing the retraction speed/distance or print speed seemed cause the extruder to eat into the filament and start skipping.
