Poor freight performance

Order for filaments and extruder nozzles took so ling to get to me I haven't had the opportunity to try the Tough Pearl PLA yet.
Was very pleased to find a removable inner hub in the spool though. This hub fits well on to the spool holders I printed from a design on Thingiverse.
Regarding the freight company, I would ditch Fastway if I were you. Not only were they terribly slow but the freight tracking is not updated often enough. The order appeared to sit in a Melbourne depot for nearly a week. My telephone enquiry to them was handled in a very offhand manner by a moron who seemed to think I should understand that a freight company can do what it pleases. When the order finally arrived in Adelaide tracking showed it was "on board for delivery with one of our couriers" for a further four days before it was delivered.
Fastway? No way.


These are 1kg 1.75mm Pearl filaments made by Flashforge. This is a new line of filaments from Flashforge which are a speciality blend of PLA and polyester, which gives the filaments a distinctly pearly and beautiful sheen. This blending also allows for these prints to be much less brittle than standard PLA while still being easy to print with, and incredibly low warping. The spools are specifically designed to fit Creator Pro, Creator 3 and Guider series of 3D Printershowever they can be used on other printers that use 1.75mm PLA.

Due to the exceptionally low warping of this material, this can be printed without a heated bed, although may require a raft for some larger printers. If the printer you have has a heated bed, we'd recommend printing with the bed between 40-60 degrees, especially for larger flatter prints. 

These filaments will work well with any printer that takes 1.75mm PLA. They might however require an external spool holder if they do not fit on the spool holder that comes with the printer. 

This is a new-upgraded formulation engineered by Flashforge helps to minimize filament problems such as curling and bubbles during printing. The new anti-moisture ingredients included in this formulation permits longer storage time without loss of quality.

More precise and stable

Flashforge's new filaments have passed through high-precision laser diameter measuring test, guaranteeing stability of filament diameter, ensuring that the filament doesn't get stuck or slip during printing. 

 

Durable for storage - better to use

Flashforge's new filament series has a damp-proof and anti-cracking formula applied to the filament in production, lengthening the storage time when not using the material. This lets you use all your filament, no matter how long it's in storage. 

 

New process - higher pureness

Flashforge's new filament series is made up of a new formula, which is mixed and produced in a controlled and dust free workshop, preventing any possibility of dust mixing as common with cheaper brands, letting us say goodbye to needless extruder blocking
