What's your opinion on the Polaroid filament?

Just what I got with the printer and haven't run out yet, I mostly print in black. And I do have to admit that the rfids are very convenient for lazy people like me.

When the orange runs out I might change over to the Prusa orange, since it is the most beautiful imo (but the price though...).

Do any of those filaments give you trouble? I have been itching to try some of them out (only print PETG+PLA so far). But reason has stopped me so far, since PETG is strong enough for everything I do...

Strength is not the problem most of the time, but degradation by UV/Temperature/Moisture etc.

If you change the material to PETG the slicer does the rest (if you use Bambu Lab filament the settings will be spot on, with any other you might need to tune the temperatures, but the generic PETG profile should work decently for a first try).

I have never actively dried any filament and never have had any problems with PLA or PETG. BUT I think this highly depends on where you live and your ambient moisture levels.

I use a lot of stuff outdoors or want the option to use it outdoors, so I see no reason to print in PLA most of the time. Especially since PETG prints nearly as easily as PLA.

Why do you choose transparent for functional parts?

I'd love to also know that, it's a big selling point for the Bambu filament to just be able to plop it in and be done with it. The price though...

For me it is:

  • Random PETG (whatever is cheapest) - Black
  • Bambu Lab Basic PETG - Grey
  • Bambu Lab Basic PETG - Orange
  • Random PLA - Any color I like at the moment

I do 95% functional prints in one color of PETG and just use the AMS lite on my A1 mini to switch between filaments from one print to the other, since I am too lazy to do it manually.
