- EconoFil PLA should be printed with a heated print bed set to 60°C - 80°C
- A good quality glue stick should be used for proper bed adhesion on most bed surfaces.
- If warping or stringing occurs, please lower your printing temperature. EconoFil PLA can printed as low as 185°C if needed.
- If excessive stringing occurs, the materials may need to be dried in a dehydrator.
- First layer nozzle temperature usually 5°C-10°C higher than subsequent layers.
This PLA worked very well in my Ender 3 V2 printer.
I didn't even fine tune the printer, and this lovely Angel came out perfectly!
There was no popping noises, and the filament comes in a Box and Sealed Bag, with a Dry Pack!
I first heard of filaments.ca through The Edge of Tech on YouTube.
Unlike the black EconoFil Standard PLA, the translucent PLA was more of a challenge for me to print.
Depending on what I was printing, it either worked great or ended up a failed print.
I've had great luck printing fake quartz crystals, an Aria Dragon, vases, mounts for Ikea Tradfri buttons and Ikea Tradfri motion sensors, as well as a lithophane.
I printed this filament with 60 degrees bed temperature, 205 initial layer, with the remainder at 200.
I'm going to have to do some more experimenting with this one to find the sweet spot temperature to get this one dialed in better.
Imprime super bien, le fini est soyeux et lustré. Le fini est plutôt opaque.
Very good filament for the price. Good at any price for that matter. Printed with no issues at all.
Worked well with my Ender3 V2, Sliced in Cura. Glues up easily with C/A gel. Run at 200C bed at 60C and extruded at 50mm. No issues at all.
I've found a new supplier and look forward to getting more as needed.
Thanks
I've had 9/10 good experiences with Filaments.ca, and AFAIK you'll be hard pressed to find a better batting average for filament distributers. This is an excellent product, and I've already bought another.
Love my Econofill filaments. Fantastic quality for the price, never encountered any issues while printing (which is such a relief as I've been dealing with terrible filaments for a while). Transparent is one of my favourite colours for prototyping and this filament does a perfect job of that.
Prints easily at many temperatures and settings. It’s a must for beginners or for a fast prototyping print. Highly recommended!
Really impressed. Expected this to be a get what you pay for purchase but this filament seems to perform as good as any higher priced filament. Definitely gonna be buying more of it
Prints nicely and has a translucent finish.
Parfait
Bambu P1S Textured PEI Plate I had to set to 60 degrees as 50 and 55 were causing warping adhesion issues, temp test found 220 degrees was the strongest, at 220 volumetric flow came out at 30mm3/s however in practice I've had to dial that down to 25mm3/s however for $14 PLA that is amazingly fast!
However "Natural" is misleading this should just be straight up called transparent as I bought the wrong one thinking I was buying a white filament.
So far so good! Printed some gears for my espresso machines and they turned out awesome.
Great - translucid!
Not using Amazon anymore and was worried I'd pay through the nose and have to wait forever. Neither was the case. Affordable, arrived within a few days, and they print great. Will get my filaments from here again.
Works really well for translucent cover for LED lights
Best filament I have tried. Always good results and perfect for what I do. I am a professional artist and use it for prototyping and lost PLA glass casting
Econofil is just great makes super great prints, price and shipping are A1 Wow!
Printed with my flash forge a 130 and printed perfectly
Oops I order the wrong one. Silly me. I wanted white but selected white translucent. My bad. Great quality though.
Filaments.ca econofil has never let me down! It’s always consistent and smooth.
It’s nice to see some companies still keeping their prices low even with the state of the world right now.
Nicely rolled on the spools. Properly packaged against moisture, and prints easily and reliably. Only thing I can say is it's on a spool now, econofil used to be ziptied and you put it on a refill spool for less waste and lower production cost (I presume). Still a great price, but I
was surprised they chose to switch.
Super strong PLA just love it...
nice details
Prints real nice!
Econofil surprises over and over again, amazing material! this colour is really nice too makes layers disappear
Ça viens avec un sac et des poches de silica anti-humidité
Vraiment bien ça!!!
very good quality for the price
Don't know what is the magic with this filament, but in my prusa with 0.12 mm layer line, the finish is perfect. The line disappear, the results are crisp and clean. My new go to filament. The quality are better than a 40$ rollers I own.
