WHY the LM Show is the BEST 3d printing show? ;)
First of all, Loyal is an incredibly creative and talented content creator. Starting with a dream a few years back of making 3d printing fun for everyone, he built an incredible show which is now followed by thousands of people seeking for fun, exciting, engaging and educative content. Supporting by his team (family) and through his hard work (literally day and night) Loyal has achieved an important objective which align with Polymaker's: Bring 3D printing to mainstream.
And it doesn't stop there the synergy we have built with the LM Show allowed the development of an incredible community willing to support each other, welcome new comers and use 3D printing technology to bring fun and happiness to the world and make it a better place.
The special and growing synergy between companies, creators and the community is what makes our industry special and unique.
I love Polymaker filament! Always recommend it to all my friends....also much love!! the LM show as well! its always my go to 3d Channel
i have heard Polymaker from other U.S. based CZcamsrs and they rave about it, but i live in Australia and its hard to find! And when you do, its 1 of this 2 of that and a home loan to buy it. Thats been my experience in the last few yrs here downunder. So its no-name stuff for me, our isolation makes this hobby hard sometimes. But hope to try some one day . Cheers from A M8 Downunder. p.s. my 50th on the 4th of jan and i hope for another 50🤔
your marble PLA is absolutely my favorite for statues!!!!!!!!!
Do you also sell to the european market? I want to try this :D
As an engineer I love that polymaker has good data on the properties of every filament they make. Their material comparison tool makes it incredibly easy to choose the right filament for functional parts
Yes! That is one of the most attractive aspects of their business!
I agree, I wish they'd go ahead and add profiles for Prusa Slicer to their downloads page.
We use their filament at work. I've been reverse engineering and then refining parts for a few years now and thanks to the material data I was able to put one of my managers at east with that I do for a part I've recently resigned.
I see these channels where people have tons of filament just on the shelf. Makes me think of how some people are like “you gotta dry pla for 24 hrs” and the other who are like “I store my pla in the pool out back.”
Hahaha! It’s true, so much misinformation and blame on things that aren’t true.
I'm pretty new, so I'm trying to wade through the information scattered about. My first lesson: do my best to ignore the freakin' jerkbags found on the FB and reddit groups! @@LoyalMoses
im new to 3d printing, are you saying you don't have to dry Pla before printing? what about petg?
@@damaylaphoenix1155 Ask 1000 people and you'll get 1000 responses, so here's my personal experience which may not match 999 other people's experiences.
I have a lot of PLA and PLA+ from dozens of different brands. I have NEVER dried PLA filament, and it all prints flawlessly on a dozen different machines. The spool I'm printing this very second has been opened for at least 2 years, and it's humid where I am. The only problems I've had when printing PLA were due to user error. In other words, me, I messed something up. (Also I once got some whack no-name-brand filament which didn't print. All name brand filaments print well, don't get unbranded stuff off Temu or Wish.)
HOWEVER, that's talking about PLA. When talking about PETG, I still have never dried any of it, but I will admit that fresh PETG prints better. So do you NEED to dry it? No, you can print it either way, but a dry spool will definitely print more cleanly. If you're going to use the spool over the course of a few days you'll be fine, it doesn't absorb water that quickly.
TPU absorbs water fast. You can print a fresh spool fine but if you're storing it for more than a day it needs to be in a vacuum sealed bag with desiccant, or you'll need to run it through a dryer if you don't.
PA (Nylon) is the final boss, this stuff absorbs water faster than you can get it off the spool. If you live it a dry climate you'll probably be fine, if you live in a humid environment you'll need to run it straight from a filament dryer into the printer.
TLDR: PLA no drying needed ever, PETG drying not needed but it'll help your prints, TPU drying/storing recommended, PA Drying absolutely required
I had never used Polymaker prior to winning a spool of it from your show. Since then, I think I've won 3 or 4 more times, and I've purchased more than 30 spools. It's basically become the one I use, unless they don't have the color I'm looking for.
Thanks for turning me onto them!!
Hey!!! Thank you for this comment! I really appreciate it. It feel so good.
@@LoyalMoses
When comes the review to the Artillery Sidewinder X4? :D
I absolutely love Polymaker PLA Pro. It is the only one I buy, just got a 5kg roll. Prints like a dream. I did not know you did a Halloween drive too, I am excited to do the Xmas drive this year. I will have to go search past Halloween drives. Love your channel!!!!
Fantastic! And thank you so much! Can't wait for us to start the next print drive!
Waiting for the government mandated addiction warnings on filament lol
haha! So true!
@@LoyalMosessince we are talking about warnings and such, what do you do to maintain air quality in your printing area? It would be great to get a manufacturers input on that as well.
Glad I found your channel. Your info is great. My first printer, the Bambu A1 is arriving any day now. Wasn’t sure on which filament to buy first and was actually going to try some of Bambu’s. Will definitely give this a try. Thanks.
How exciting and thank you! Congratulations, you will LOVE IT!
Filament addiction? Guilty here too. I just love filament; all different colors, types and brands. I completely agree with you about PolyTerra being a fantastic filament. When I first found it i bought every color they had just after getting my first spool of it. Such a great company too with super nice folks. 5000 spools?! Filament tour, filament tour!! Great video. -Courtney
So much awesome filament in the last couple of years! Love it.
Just started 3D printing a couple months ago. I started with a cheap Ender 3 I bought on Amazon, but it was a bit noisy and very slow. I decided to pull the trigger on a passive upgrade and got the Bambu Labs P1S. I have been trough about a dozen different filaments, some of which had breaks etc. Some of which I was never able to give a fair shot because I didn't know about keeping your filament sealed and would open every roll because it looked awesome.
Having learned so much in a couple months I have found this channel to be a HUGE help. My filament addiction has grown and still looks cool stacked up in the boxes.
I have found that AceAddity has been working very well for me and at $14.00 a KG it does what I would expect. They seem fairly limited in colors though.
I didn't even know about Polymaker until now. It is only a few more dollars a roll and seems to have a massive PLA selection.
Thank you for all of your input and I look forward to your future videos!
Well, welcome to 3D printing! Congrats! And thank you, I absolutely love to share my passions and these replies give me a boost!
I love to hear that you are stockpiling some filaments! LOVE IT!
Just got some Polymaker LW for a project where I needed some weights savings, seems like good stuff. Was nice that I could just order from Amazon.
Awesome!
Thank you for the video. I'm very happy that I come across this channel. I'm new to 3d printing and was trying to figure out what filament would be good to use. I'm a fan of any company that great and responsive customer service. I'm going to start buying Polymaker.
Thank you!
Great video and great story!!! Thanks so much for sharing with us!! I do use Polymaker also...
Thank you! I really wanted to share this outside of our Twitch show. Polymaker is an amazing company and more people need to know.
I have won a couple spools of Polymaker from LM! And have now bought alot more! Its so easy to print with, and prints consistently! Plus LM has a great show! Definitely someone I would love to meet someday!
Congratulations! Thank you for the kind words!
This is interesting because I‘ve printed with dozens and dozens of different brands and filaments without really taking notes or anything but I developed a feeling that I’ve had the best experience with Polymaker filaments.
It’s an awesome product!
Also Polymaker came to rescue when 3D Printing General’s channel was closed by CZcams and, at least during the back and forth they sponsored him to try to help him survive. They won my heart with that move and they’re now permanent members of my stock whenever I need decorative prints despite it’s not that easy to buy it here in Norway (because of price mainly)
That whole situation is how I found polymaker in the first place. 3D print general FDE is my all time favorite stuff
Yes, that is a HUGE deal!
AWESOME!
Thanks to your CZcams video, we just found a cost effective means of ordering fillament. We are now big fans!
Great to hear!
Never tried polymaker filament before. But that LM-green looked awesome!
Just discovered 3D-printing a couple a months ago and your videos and twitch channel helped me a lot how to think about my own goales with 3D-printing.
Mostly use basic colours right now and I'm a little afraid to know what brand to trust? And some of the other branded 1kg 25$ spools of basic pla-filament that I orderd are really bad! Orderd some of them in bulk because I thoght I was smart and it became the opposite.
Still trying to find a good filamentbrand with nice coulurs that not just becomes waste +25% of the time. For a newbie it's a bit of a jungle.
Keep up the good work!
Thank you! Welcome. Well, if you come and watch my live shows and hang out in our discord, you'll get to see all of the cool stuff and be able to ask questions and see for yourself what we do with different filaments, brands, printers, etc! We'd love to have you and help!
I have been using them since I started in late 2020. I very rarely use other brands unless I need very low-cost boxes of 2 or 4 spools in white, gray, and black for prototypes and drafts.
Such good filament! Amazing company!
I'm literally in the process of putting up more shelves in the room for polymaker storage right now! 😁
YES DINEC! MORE FILAMENT! 😁
I just spent my whole weekend printing some of their PETG and I must say they will be my go to from now on.
Now I’ll have to try their PLA and see how I like it and if it’s anything like the PETG I’m sure I’ll be purchasing them exclusively.
That's great to hear! Try the PLA Pro! You will LOVE it too!
I new to 3D printer and decided I might just order some from here cause I really don’t know which filment to order. You have an new sub
Thank you!
I'm ordering that sparkle green tonight I've never used polymaker so I'm taking your advice and trying it
Thank you!!! 💜 I’m so positive you’ll have the same experience I do! 🔥
i dont even have a printer yet and i have gone and looked at your filament multiple times and close to just buying to buy it. thank you for the great content. man i want a printer but totally lost to what to pull the trigger on. so many options and so many people with different views its hard to know what should really matter. and i know its my decision end the end. Ive thought about getting used but dont know. Maybe you could do a video on used printers and if worth it.
Awe! That it just awesome, and I really appreciate that. Join our discord! Tons of good info.
loyal.ms/discord
Just getting into 3d printing..haven't tried poly maker yet but sure would try some out.
Welcome! 💜
I won a roll from you the week i bought my 3d printer. Polymaker has been by far the best Filament i use! The LM sparkle green is AMAZING! Thanks for sharing the story!!
Pretty darn cool! Thank you so much for being here and supporting!
Polymaker filament truly is amazing stuff. I got my first spool of it from Loyal and since that spool I have increased my private stock to almost 80 spools and I would say 70-80% of it is Polymaker now.
80 spools!? OH MY GOSH! That is crazy how fast you stocked up on filament! WOW!
Yeah, I remember winning it a year ago. Was great stuff. Have bought a lot since. And as you, and Mrs. LM know won quite a bit as well.
Almost a year!
How cool. I’m definitely checking all this out. Already tried an amazing purple from them. The only brand where the color was really the color.
Awesome!
Hopefully, they will add RFID Chips to the rolls and make the spools better suited to AMS systems. It's not an absolute necessity, but it would be a very nice quality of life improvement. Especially considering most printers are moving this direction or playing with liquid color reservoirs that color a base material as it's extruded, which will still most likely be RFID connected color tanks.
Would be cool!
I have only just started looking into Polymaker as a filament option as I usually only used Paramount 3D filament. It prints BEAUTIFULLY and has tons of colors. It is however not a very responsive company, I will have to really put them head to head and see if I become a convert.
Try it!
Cool vid.
Well, I've never tried Polymaker, but now I intend to give it a shot. I'm looking over their site and see the PolyLite CosPLA. I'll probably order some to try on this kit I'm about to print.
Thank you! You'll have a wonderful experience for sure. Let me know how you like it!
What i really want is a test plate of all their colors. Wish companies offered these out. Would help a lot when trying to find out the right color.
Some companies do!
G'day to you, Loyal Moses. Ive only joined your little corner of the internet recently, and im finding it a quite informative. This vid on polymaker has been the hundredth time ive heard of them from all my U.S. Makers, but ive tried to get some locally and its in small amounts with a hefty price too. So ill stick with my no-name brands and maybe on day i can get some. From A M8 Downunder
Welcome and thank you!!!
I love that lm sparkle green. I never used poly maker filament yet, but man that looks nice
Thank you! It’s such a good looking filament, I’m so proud of it!
Some of my best prints are done with polymaker filament didn’t know about them until I seen your stream I highly recommend Polymaker absolutely some of the best if not the best filament out there. And gotta love the creepy starfish 😂
DAVID! Good filament matters and we are spoiled with Polymaker for sure! Thank you for the Starfish, you and Mark knocked it out of the park!
It was a fun project to work on. And completely agree with be spoiled with polymaker filament
I was always curious how you got a spool! Great story!!
Thank you!
I love poly maker been using them on my Ultimaker for years but now I have a new bambu, so currently trying out there filliment, but I may start going back to Polly maker
This is awesome to hear!
i havent used polymaker yet but im now looking forward to trying it.
Fantastic! You’ll love it!
@@LoyalMoses great thank you
When I bought my X1 Carbon I bought 5 rolls of Polyterra and I love it, what I don't like is the cardboard spools and having to print rims for them.
My go to filament before the X1 Carbon was Ziro, you get a quality mylar coated re-sealale bag, a card to write print notes on and a sample of their more exotic filaments, the windings are the best I have ever seen and it prints amazingly, I have much less trouble with their spool than the Polymaker one.
I’ve not printed rims for mine at all!
I love their filament, too. Maybe this is the reason why Bambu Lab has it as an (only) option in their firmware besides their own filament.
You notice that too?!
@@LoyalMoses Yeah, right from the start when I bought my X1C a year ago.
However, what I really miss from many other filament manufacturers are refill spools. I really like the Bambu concept. It saves resources and is much more sustainable than always buying complete spools.
@@layeredwork
ESUN have done refill spools for quite a while now. Not sure if they were the first to offer this, but they were before Bambu Lab.
Well I had to try my first PolyMaker so grabbed 2 rolls of the Lm Sparkle Green
WHAT!? That is awesome! Thank you! ! !
I hope you’re right, because I just ordered a load of poly maker filament because of you. I’ve purchased almost exclusively Overture for the last four years.
I am positive you’ll have a similar experience to mine! Amazing quality.
I’m getting a Bambu lab A1 and I might have to eventually try this filament
That’s awesome! 🔥
I have been printing for 7 years and never used Polymaker filament until around October 2022 when I came across an LM Show stream. Of course the chance at free filament had me locked, and Loyal is pretty entertaining too I guess. ;) I won a spool and eventually many more through the Friday night print races. These events quickly led me to joining both the LM Show and the Polymaker discords. My current inventory of filament is around 500+ spools, with almost 300 of those being strictly @Polymaker . I am working towards the full collection. Nic has been nothing short of amazing towards this community and having the chance to work with him on projects in 2023 showed me even more of what kind of person he is. While there are many great filaments out there, the quality, vast catalog of colors, and their involvement with their commuity is what puts Polymaker on top! So thank you @Loyal Moses for the introduction and enabling my addiction also! Can't wait to see what 2024 brings!
Wow! What a wonderful comment! Very kind and I am so happy that you mentioned Nic. He deserves so much credit for what we have in this community.
I’d love to share this comment on Twitter!
Thank you for everything that you do for our community and me and my family! 💜
Print races will return!!!
@@LoyalMoses You are more than welcome to share!
Polymaker is amazing.
Practically everything I use comes from them😊
Yes they are!
Wow they have Polysonic PLA. Now I have to try it out Thank you!
Yes, high speed! Amazing stuff!
@@LoyalMoses My Neptune 4 Pro should like it!
I’m new to 3d printing and have been buying filament based on how cheap it is. As a result, I have to deal with filament breaks, tangles and inconsistent color. I’m going to try Polymaker based on your recommendation. If you are right, it will save me money and just as important, time.
I really think you should! They are an incredible company, and if you EVER have a problem, let them know and they will absolutely take care of you.
OK. You sold me. Like many who've gone through many kgs of filament over the years, I've settled into my preferred brands. While Polymaker was on my radar, I've yet to get a spool of different types to try. Based on your enthusiasm and Polymaker's attention to users, on my next filament order, I'll drop in some Polymaker as well and see if it'll work for me.
I think you'll love it!
Here in Taiwan it’s expensive to get filament, but I do get polymaker from a printer manufacturer close to my house and I absolutely love it and how consistent it prints, but I’m still very limited in quantity I can get
Sorry to hear that it is expensive there!
That “mistake” pink is my favorite color. I call it Coral
Love Polymaker cause I love the matte finish. It just has a unique look for my projects. Then saw 3D print generals flat dark earth, and about to order your color for my first helmet when my P1P with the AMS gets here Friday.
What’s the best way to use their filament with the AMS?
OH! Thank you for your support, that means a lot! I just put the spools straight in the AMS, they work great!
Do all the rolls come with cardboard?
Does it work will with the AMS for x1c and the A1 MINI? It should work fine with my 1st printer the snapmaker J1.
I would love to try Polymaker
Yes, they've switched over to cardboard spools, and they work fine in my AMSs. Never had an issue, I just make sure to blow air into the AMS to keep carboard dust out. You can also print hub covers if you are concerned and spool weights too if that ever becomes a problem for you.
@LoyalMoses I have many left over plastics spool holders from bambu labs..they just don't have the QR codes.
Hey Maybe Polymaker can come up with some kinda of QR scan code which could be work with AMS?
It is good, every time i get polymaker stuff it just works. Their abs is fire also the gfN is good too.
Which version is the best for making display helmets. It’s display only so it doesn’t have to take a cosplay beating. It just needs to print nice and sand/paint well.
Their CosPLA is pretty epic!
I wish there was more Polymaker in Microcenter. I know that a lot of the Inland stuff is rebranded Polymaker, but it would still be nice to have the full offering local and in-store.
I bet that has to be in the works! I would love to see Polymaker everywhere! Even Walmart!
I love Polymaker! Loyal Moses and the LM Show are the absolute best!
Thank you Microbus! You are so kind! 💜
I use Extrudr filaments for some materials that are unique, shipping can be expensive but they do offer free shipping after you buy three reels or so, and every now and again you get discount codes.
Awesome!
Awesome stories. I'll tune into your streams too. 👍
Thank you! Say hi, make sure to get my attention, remind me that you are from YT! Join our discord too!
@@LoyalMoses Will do!
Hallo Loyal Moses. I have a quick question: I'm interested in building a filament storage shelf as you have. Can you quickly describe it ? Maybe with the STL File for the angle brackets? I assume you've used simply plastic laminated chipboard as the shelf. But how did you secure the filament spools and how do you install the LED strip? Thanks a lot !
Yes, home depot shelves by Rubbermaid, and the light strips are attached with the adhesive backing and they act as the bumper to prevent the filament from rolling off the shelf. On the underside I added some double sided clear sticky tape to help keep them on!
Great - thanks a lot@@LoyalMoses
Im in South Australia downunder and use and love Polymaker
Awesome!
@1:55 You know One Two Feet?!? Thats amazing! lol (The song)
Little question. Is it better to buy direct or amazon. Or does it not really matter. I see that some of the prices can vary. Like the LM filament is $5 a roll more on amazon.
I think whichever is best for you! Shipping is the same speed for both!
Its nightmare fuel Starry Fish!!! I wish I'd used the right version of lime green on that project... still fun though. Polymaker is definitely the go to filament!
Sparkle Drk Green & the Sparkle Drk Blue were awesome colors.
You and David crushed that print! SO AWESOME!
@@LoyalMoses what I should consider is sending David a couple of spools of SDG & SDB then we do it again in those colors. Maybe something that can be given away on stream.
Based off this video, I became a Polymaker fanboy. Their PLA's & PETG's are excellent & virtually trouble-free.
That’s awesome to hear! I am 100% sincere with how I feel about them and the amazing things they do for our community and industry! Thank you for sharing this!
Love Polymaker! Bought my first printer about 8 months ago and didn’t have a lot of filament. Upgraded to a Bambu and for ease of use and mixing and matching colours/materials I knew I was going to need to choose. After weeks of adding filament to various carts, letting it sit, and then starting all over again, I finally decided on PolyTerra for my first big stock up because it prints beautifully and has a gorgeous range of colours! PolyLite will be next!
Fantastic!!!
Polymaker is my absolute favorite filament, but .... I just purchased a Bambu Lab X1C with the AMS and I've had nothing but problems with the cardboard spools. I even printed their spool covers and still had problems. Any suggestions to solve this problem? I got so frustrated I just ordered a bunch of Bambu Lab's Matte PLA. I'd love to go back to Polymaker if I could find an EASY solution to this. Hey Polymaker ... why don't you use plastic spools?
First congrats! Did you figure out why?!
I am trying to decide which printer to buy. Size is my no. 1, no. 2 I would like to print in cf and nylon as well as PLA. I like the idea of multiple colors, however it is not required. I like much about the Bambu Labs CF but don’t like the amount of waste it produces in color change and is just barely large enough for my prints. I saw many of your videos and would be okay with an open air system like the sidewinder max or the Neptune 4 plus. Not sure if they will successfully print nylon. I am an engineer so I could build an enclosure and add the heat and ventilation easily if the rest of the materials would handle it. Speed is very important to me as well. I notice the Sidewinder has a new 4 pro coming out but there is no mention of a max version at this time. The sidewinder and Neptune do not have WiFi which looks to be on the new Sidewinder 4 pro. I plan on having my 3d printer setup in my outside building. Being able to print WiFi would be very advantageous. What would your suggestion be. I am still determining my budget if I get one of the less expensive models then I would just spend the additional budget on picking up some additional filament.
If you want nylon, you’ll need an enclosure. Have you considered larger industrial machines?
Think I'll give polymaker a shot. I like the pokemon stls they have been posting! I wanna try the lava red but I don't want pink 😂 hope it's not a issue anymore but first order will go in today for a couple of colors.
Haha! Nah, they got that fixed! 😆
I haven't used Polymaker filament yet. Have always used Esun. Which of Polymaker's CF would be good to use? I just bought the K1C and have never printer in CF before.
PLA CF would be great to try first!
@@LoyalMoses Thanks. I'll check it out.
Loved the hearing the background story
Thanks Chris!
so... pla... great.. how is their TPU 95A like? great vid btw! happy new year!
Polymaker's TPU?! They have one of the best selections.
I'm still new to 3d printing but all I've used is Sunlu PLA + filament and love it. I'm scared to spend money on any other kind because I don't want it to be bad and a waste of money.
You won’t go wrong trying it!
Would love to try Playmaker but already have a load of filament, how do I go about trying to win a free spool?
I know that feeling of having a lot of filament! 😆

I love using polymaker filaments. I just wish I could find their filaments in Dual and triple color along with multi color. I use a lot of Silk finish filaments. Unfortunately I am not able to support polymaker either due to color availability and price. Amazon offers so many colors, bands and free 2 day shipping that I have to save money and time where I can. I would love to come across this color pallet from Polymaker to see what I might be missing.
Yes, the dual and triple extrusions are crazy cool! Polymaker has some duals in both polyterra and silk!
@@LoyalMoses I guess I have just over looked them.
@Polymaker i've got a Bambu X1C with AMS... and i'd loveto try Polyterra or even Polylite but card spool aren't the best for the AMS... Btw.. where to buy Polymaker in europe?
Cardboard spools work great in the AMS.
I've bought Polymaker 3 times. Last time was about 2 years ago. Have had nothing but problems with it each time. The polyterra was the worst. Didn't matter what settings I used, and I went through half a roll trying to get it to work because I'd heard so much good about it. So have been soured on it. May give it a try on my Bambu.
That’s too bad! Sorry to hear that.
How does this stack up against Creality hyper pla? I’ve been wanting to try another but not really sure.
Ah, that hyper PLA is cool stuff! Polymaker has SonicPLA which is their high speed PLA, really good!
I LOVE IT😊
Total newbie here!! Just waiting on my new Bambu combo..I would love to enter for a free sample...
Congratulations!!! Get over to our discord and hang out with us when we are live on twitch!!!
Try duramic pla+ at 260c. It’s prints decent but it’s super strong. Other then temperature resistance it’s proboaly stronger then abs and petg combined
Great tip!
Have not tried Polymaker. Curious to see how it preforms.
How can I get your loyal filament. Amazon?
Try it! You’ll love it! You can get my filament on Amazon or loyal.ms/LMSparkleGreen
i like polymaker filament but i can only buy it on sale in canada its a bit out of my budge but when ever i can find a role on amazon for around 20 i but a few
At $20, get it whenever you can!
do you have to dry Pla or petg before printing?
No, we have very low humidity up here.
I'm going to try Polymaker for a while. I've been an ESun PLA + fan for quite a bit, but the color consistency between rolls has been terrible. I don't do a lot of painting so I rely on colors matching.
Awesome! eSun makes great stuff! I also don’t paint!
I had a very similar situation with 3DXtech. Color consistency was off between filament types (PETG, PLA and ASA). Found Polymaker and never looked back. Polymaker’s color (Red) consistency across PETG, PLA Pro, ASA and TPU is amazing.
Oh. And we can’t forget to mention their Draft PLA.
Oh wow! No way?! If I remember correctly, mine was with ASA, they were VERY responsive to find and fix the problem, but not being able to get filament for over a month for a specific color was something I couldn’t do. This was 3 years ago, so not a fair representation of them now I imagine, but it was hard to explain to customers back then.
By the way, thank you for supporting our print drive, our channels and our growth here with a membership! 💜
Polymaker asa is good, duramic pla+ is literly the strongest material I have, prints like toasty pla and inductrable. (idk how to sple it lol)
Fantastic! We love all the filaments!
Although I love Polyterra, you can’t compare it with the Extrudr Greentech that you mention at the beginning (first that comes to mind, Polyterra is PLA regarding temperature resistance while greentech pro will resist over 100C
You can definitely compare it! It all depends on what you are comparing it for.
I'd love to try some but they don't ship directly to the UK (frustrating) and it's soooo expensive on Amazon, even if it is good I can't justify paying over double what I'm currently paying for a roll of PLA. 3DJake sell it but they are actually based in the EU so we run the risk of getting hit with import taxes that put the price up. If you could talk them into selling directly in the UK eith all the ott import costs then I'd snap it up in a heartbeat.
I know, it's tough, some places make it hard for companies to get their products there.
Does Polymaker have an eu warehouse? I really want to try this :)
I believe so, but I don’t know for sure! What does their website say for shipping options?
It’s very funny I mentioned Polymaker on your “how not to buy a 3d printer” as my goto filament, I did the same. I needed a certain colour that was specific to a model and through research I came across Polymaker 2 years ago. I haven’t looked back since, I do use other filaments for projects but there’s always Polymaker being used on one or more of my printers.
I can’t get your sparkle green in the UK unless I import from US which is prohibitively expensive so it’s not being bought by me at the moment.
They are just an incredible company and I am so excited to be able to share it with people! I wish we could get creator spools to you!
@@LoyalMosesthe value for money is unbeatable as far as I am concerned. I have ordered polylite sparkle dark green which may be close, first time ordering polylite so interested to see what it’s like. I normally just buy polymax tough or Polyterra as these are what I use regularly for products and projects. I know some may say that being so pro a single filament company is being an “advert bought and paid for” but when it comes to Polymaker I always recommend it myself.
why is it better than bambu labs filament? im new to 3d printing and have a p1s and an ams so have just been buying the bambu filament
Polymaker has an amazing R&D department and is on the front lines of innovation, quality and standards for our industry! Give it a try, also Bambu filament is INCREDIBLE too!
Is overture polymaker? Or are they separate?
I think that’s just a rumor.
Polymaker is fantastic! For basic black, I like Sunlu (due to cost + quality), but for everything else, Polymaker all the way
Thanks for sharing!
Love polymaker!
same issue with SUNLU PETG Orange and Red...now, neon orange and soft pink instead of dark cherry red.
Oh no, just inconsistent color batching?
@@LoyalMoses the red they changed "officially" after my request if they changed the color...red was amazing...i´m not to red...but that almost bloody elegant red...now a "creamy rose" but the orange i got and asked, they denied the changes. the orange is also grat like there (neon)green pet g but i used the old orange a lot, really a slightly transluscent fruity orange! my favorite petg color. Really not great, especally if you have to provide colors to customers............
When you bought the spools after they fixed the labels, you probably got some of Amazon's older stock. It's not like the change is instant when going through a third party like Amazon. Better to buy direct if you need a product that has changed recently.
Yup, I was sure that was going to happen - but I got the "make your order again" message!
When comes the video to the Artillery Sidewinder X4? :D
Soon!
I still need to try polymaker, I use a ton of protopasta since it has always been consistent for me. How are Polymakers ABS and ASA filaments?
Protopasta makes AMAZING filament! I've always referred to them as a boutique filament company, and Blood of My Enemies is my favorite!
Don't get their PETG it's so bad
Okay okay I find a place to buy and try
:-)
I'm literally getting my X1 C tomorrow... CAN SHOW PROOF! Feeling overwhelmed by the Filaments I now know I'm gonna need. Got 6 rolls before realizing NONE of it was TPU. Im new so stupid. Send me some rolls... I can seriously use it!!!!!!!!
Congrats! Don't worry, you have all the time in the world to buy filament!
@LoyalMoses having problems finding good translucent tpu... have link???
