I wanted to take a minute and give a shout out to ZYLtech for their PLA
filament. i first heard of them in this group and decided to give them a try, and so far I’ve made three orders and have had great success in printing. Unlike the other filament that I’ve used in the past, I’ve had no breakage or clogs in my machine. I am a home hobbyist and have no formal training in 3D print, but I know a good product when I use it. Anyway, i just wanted to let the community know about their filament. Oh, and I got free shipping too!
That’s the filament I suggested some time back! I’m glad it’s working out well for you. I’m still pretty happy with mine as well. Granted I’ve only used a few different kinds though.
Never heard of it. Do they make their own filament or just rebranding?
Meanwhile, I saw some people on Facebook saying they had trouble with it. It’s shipped from Texas, I want to think they make their own but I don’t know.
A quick look at the “about” link from there store, it’s still hard to say if it is thiers or rebranded. But im guessing they do make there own.
@raykholo it’s hard to say for sure. Here’s a link to the eBay post I got mine from. Only 8 reviews but all 5 stars. I’d give it 5 stars myself. Zero jams. Consistent quality. Consistent diameter. I’m no filament expert but it seems to work great for me. Plus it’s pretty cheap. $17 a roll and they always have deals. Right now you can buy one get a second at 20% off. Buy 3 get the 4th 50% off or buy 8 and get 2 free.
It’s probably rebranded if it’s this difficult to find out…
also not sure whether its re branded or not , I like the fact that its a quality product and great pricing that’s why i gave it a shout out!
@Kevin_Danger_Powers i remember your post and that’s when i gave it a try, to date i’ve ordered 7 rolls
I bought Nema17 steppers from them, my first actually. They are a bit loud and the cables are integral no plug or socket on the motor. But they were very inexpensive and work perfectly except for the noise at 12v, probably better at 24v. Main points are they were very cheap for how well they work. They would grind through a GT2 belts rubber teeth before skipping most likely. They said 2.1a and they meant it.
@AlohaMilton you can adjust that on the driver pots can’t you?
I’ve ordered 3 times from them and I’d have to confirm what @Dan_Baldwin is saying. Relatively cheap, super fast shipping, excellent filament!
I’ve ordered both PLA and ABS and haven’t had any issues yet and I’ve gone through probably 5 spools of the 9 that i’ve ordered over the past 3 months.
They are always having deals so if one doesn’t catch your interest just wait a week or so and check back and they’ll have a different deal for you to take advantage of.
@Dan_Baldwin my control board does it through software (Duet) I have them running at like 1.8a and its quieter, but steppers just run with less high pitch noise on 24v from what I have been told. I should clarify I bought those motors a while ago, the website had no store I got them off Amazon and went looking for data sheets, the company had minimal website but did have the data sheets on the steppers. I appreciated it at the time few Amazon resellers of 3d printer parts have real data sheets.
@AlohaMilton on the ramps board 1.4 I’m running driver boards that I adjust down to .7 amps to keep the nema17’s from getting to hot they are rated at 1.7 I believe.anyway super quiet and powerful at 12vdc. Also purchased from Amazon this is on a mpcnc (google it it’s cool!)
