Dremel DF30-01 Pink PLA Filament

There may be a problem with purple, or we may have gotten a bad batch. Were using the 3d45 and loving it, success with red, white, black, and blue in pla and decent prints in eco-abs and nylon (I think the stuff in the printer box that first comes with it may be old or have been sitting around). But then theres purple. Prints are stiff and harder than other colors, and the strand is prone to breakage. The last 2/5ths of the reel just snap, snarle and split. Maybe a bad batch, but watch out for stiffness.

Works as it should, just way overpriced. Other brands of filament work just fine.

The printer itself is a good deal for the money, the filament is another story. They arent chipped, but they are smaller than normal spools with a very small hub to fit inside the printer, so 3rd party spools will not fit. Having the spool inside is actually kind of nice and price per spool is not too much different than other filament. The problem I have is the quality control on the filament is abysmal. I have had 2 separate rolls with giant, random blobs where the filament diameter was suddenly double. This instantly jams the extruder to the point that I had to disassemble it. Another roll was horribly tangled right out of the package and kept knotting itself up. Another roll was wavy instead of straight and kept causing jams. Another problem with the small rolls is as you get to the end, the filament is curved so tightly that it tends to snap going into the feed tube. This is an easy fix, as you can download and print an external spool hanger and use anything you want. Try looking on Thingiverse for a download.

Printed well enough but the final color left alot to be desired. Basically just brown.

Works as described and is sort of an iridescent red. Makes good looking stuff.

Very rich purple with an ever so slight transparency. Im using it on a FlashForge Dreamer and getting fantastic results. I use blue Painters tape and rub the surface with a glue stick to prevent any dislodging of the model. Dont bother heating the bed (if youre on a Dreamer or some other printer). as this Filament is meant for the Dremel (which does not have a heating bed) My extruder is set to 205c, and thats all there is to it. Ive turned out many flawless models with super low issues. Now going for other colors! Hope Dremel releases a glow in the dark filament at some point.

Great filament. Works extremely well with consistent results.

I opened this and tried to print and it keeps breaking I’m not sure what’s going on.

Im not sure what happened to the filament quality since I purchased the Dremel 3D40 back in 2016. Somewhere along the line, Dremel (or more accurately, their filament supplier) dropped the ball. While I have nothing but good things to say about the 3D40 and the Dremel tech support staff, I cant at this point say ANYTHING good about their filament. IT IS COMPLETE GARBAGE! A brand new spool will generally print fine, and prints fine, but you either need to use the whole spool at once or make the time to 3D print something every day. If the filament is left unused in the printer for more than a couple of days, it begins to break in places. All too often, it will break mid-print. One spool came dried out/broken despite its being sealed. I have already all of pointed this out to Dremel tech support and I think theyre aware of it, but nothing has been done to improve the quality of the filament. They suggested putting a bag of dessicant inside the printer. I have a dozen bags of dessicant, and nothing has changed. I print in a climate controlled environment, so I dont see what the problem might be. I took the liberty of printing a filament adapter and will be trying a quality 3rd party filament shortly. Has anyone else had this problem? Hopefully Dremel slaps/changes their filament supplier soon, because the reputation of an otherwise excellent printer is at stake...
