FLASHFORGE ASA Filament 1.75mm, 3D Printer Filaments 1kg Spool-Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.02mm, no Smoke and no Odor (Black, ASA)

This has become my go to filament for most things I print. Copes well with temperatures in car engine bays and not had any structural prints break apart from when I deliberately did so for testing. I do get a bit of warping off the bed when I print over 200x200 but I think that may be my fault for not having the chamber heater on.Overall, can't recommend this ASA enough.

After finishing off a roll of another brand's Black I was looking for something a little different but also, not, brightly coloured. That's when the Flashforge sparkly black filament caught my eye.I'm relatively new to 3d printing so far having printed with 'printer's PLA tester orange', a well known brand's black + white, and a lesser known brand's translucent PETG yellow. All the PLA printed fairly well but the PETG was a disaster.After finishing off my last brand roll, I switched over to the FF Galaxy Black. I reviewed the heating instructions and noted it had a melting point of 50c and lower end range of 190c (slightly lower than the other brand PLA I was using before). So I tweaked my slicer settings and put the new filament in my curer for 5 hours at 45c to ensure there was no residual moisture going to affect print quality.Immediately it started stringing and wouldn't stick and panic struck. Why was PLA going wrong when I'd had no problems with my other rolls mere minutes earlier??I immediately knocked my Z down 0.1mm and tried the same print again, voila, problem solved. That's a first!Normally it takes me ages of faffing, with this filament, 1 print and I've then had zero problems with subsequent prints.I showed my other half, my first print and the reaction was "ooh that looks nice, it's sparkles!" which is amazing given it was a kitchen towel for an Ikea rod I grabbed from thing verse which I'd printed (pictures attached of two different varieties, neither matched what I needed, so I am still working on it in Fusion360, will re-upload once I'm happy with it).So first impressions are very good, both from me, and a non-3d printer person. Very easy to dial in. Good adhesion. Can't comment on 'sheerness' amazon, it's a black filament?!I did read on a group somewhere that 'sparkly' filament can cause issues with the hot end or something so maybe something to be aware of and keep an eye out on, if you run lots of rolls of this kind of filament, perhaps? But no problems for me thus far, from the 4-5 prints I've done so far.Would I recommend this to a friend?YesWould I buy this again?YesAnything else to add?It'd be cool to have a white or cream with sparkly silver bits in it, like the newer marble counter tops you see. Get on it, Flashforge R&D team!

The print quality is just superb, glossy finish. I used 250 + 80 on a qidi plus4 £7.49 its a bargain

The image suggests the rainbow effect is quick to present itself on a print, in truth you need to be printing multiple items or large projects to get the rainbow effect in your print. The colour palette of the roll I get ranged from a nice green and blue to a baby-poo brown. It is not the most inspiring rainbow! However I cannot fault the PLA itself, a good print and works very well with my Adventurer 5m form Flashforge

This is the first time I've used petg cos I've heard how difficult it was to use.I need not have worried,it's so easy to use.I bought the shiny black for just £8.49.Amazing.I was going to buy some more but sadly it's not available which is such a pity.

I've been 3d printing for 5 years and used many filaments, but this multy coloured tpu is by far the worst I've ever used. Straight out of the sealed packaging with dehydration pack and it was so full of moisture it was popping and spluttering whilst printing, horrible surface with gaps and stringing. I know that I can dry it out for better results but it's brand new and this shouldn't happen from a reputable company. I then reprinted the same job with another tpu from a generic company and no problems. Flashforge get your act together

The media could not be loaded. I have been using another brand and had good results to be fair . I bought this on offer just to try as another roll I had from Flashforge in PLA was great..really nice infact . This PETG no so much ..It arrived well packed and very dry...in my drier I print from it was at 15% RH in just 10 mins .I printed a basic block I use as a spacer...First try it kinda bubbled out leaving build up that caught the head on its pass and was a little stringy ...scrapped that mid print ..second with another bed plate was better but still I had filament tearing its self up from the bed in places ..nothing major but enough to stop the print as that's the show face that would be poor looking . Last try on a different plate (an older one ) and it went OK ..very well in fact ...maybe the first meter of the filament wasn't the best but it didn't seem to have the bed adhesion of my normal brand ..So conclusion will use it for smaller test parts as its not awful but wouldn't chance it on a multi hr print just yet although once it bed adhered OK its results were good . Maybe I'm just use to less hassle from PETG or need to dial it in/use a bed adhesive ..but tend to get good results from just stock settings without any adhesive normally. If it starts performing OK on test parts I may give it another go as its not bad enough to write off..its from a good name and the price is excellent value...superb when on offer and I do get through a lot of balck Qidi 4 Max

Bought this filament for some gate work in the garden. Nice outside colour. Easy to print, and being ASA should last a good while in all weathers.
