Taulman Alloy 910 Black 3D Printing Filament - 1.75mm

The product itself is stellar. The wrapping had been punctured in several places, though, so it was basically unusable without significant time in a dryer. Not sure why it came that way, but I couldn’t use it straight out of the box because the vacuum seal was broken and it had lots of water in it.

This is the second roll I have ordered I returned the first thinking it was one of those things that didn't go quite right. My original order the bag was loose and the material was quite wet. After a day or 2 in my EBox it dried out and worked ok. I just opened the second order and the same thing impossible to use straight out of the bag. Very wet and I suspect after a day or 2 in the EBox it will be usable. Where I live it averages ~15% humidity and this was out of the sealed bag. This stuff is expensive and these quality issues should not happen. I have a few thoughts on what is going on but I don't have enough info. Extruding into air the filament boils enough to just about separate the filament. looks like a bunch of little balloons.I would not recommend anyone buy from this supplier. I can't be sure the problem with this supplier but the rest of the reviews I have seen claim this to be the best filament made. 2 bad rolls...some thing is wrong.I have used at least 50 different rolls of PLA PLA+ Nylon ABS PETG TGlase from Taulman, one of the prettiest filaments. Many different vendors and filament types and none of those vendors shipped wet filament.

Like everyone says, nylon curls. I spent some time getting the first layer to stick. The textured bed on my Preusa Mk3 finally worked well with a little glue stick added. I basically printed at the recommended settings for the Mk3 from Slic3r with changes to minimize support structure. I also used a skirt and raft. They were probably overkill. The strength and flexibility of the material makes it hard to remove the supports and especially the raft. I'll try to forgo the raft on my next prints. I also got a fair amount of stringing especially in one area. Overall, the material prints well once the first layer behaves. I think it will be a great high strength material with a little more setting tweaking. The picture shows the top and bottom of the as printed first model. The supports and most of the raft have been removed. It's two halves of an outboard lower unit.

Is this any good? The plastic is full of air. The desiccant is very small. I’m not even sure if this is any good yet. I hate to have to bake filament brand new.

Arrived with the vacuum bag puffed out, had a desiccant packet at least but after fiddling with it all night there was no chance it was going to print. Ended up having to bake it in the oven. Come on guys, seal your bags properly. I've never had an ESUN bag come open and that stuff is straight from the bowels of China.

Taulman3D produces high quality filament. I am pleased with 910. It is a high performance material. Though Alloy 910 can be tough to print, it makes strong, high quality parts.

I have printed with Alloy 910 a fair amount over the years and it's a great product. This roll I received was soft and gummy once printed. It was nothing like the rigid material that could take abuse that I have received direct from Taulman. I dried it in the oven for four hours and it started printing foam in no time. I understand that nylon attracts moisture bigtime, but this is just ridiculous. The walls of my print are so rubbery and flexible that it feels like I got a shipment of some semi rigid flexible material that had been rebranded as Taulman Alloy 910 by mistake. It's garbage and not worth my investment or my time.

Good but expensive, 1 lb roll not 2.2 lb like every other Filament.I really like using this Filament but it is 4x the price of other filaments. Is it four times better...no. Actual cost would be approx $80 for a standard 2.2 lb roll. Knocked off one star due to price.
