Flashforge Dreamer (NX) - Polymaker Gold PETG 1.75mm Filament Testing - Part 2
This two-part video shows the testing of Polymaker Gold PETG 1.75mm Filament and compares it to Hatchbox Gold PETG which I review in the next set of videos.
Part 1 shows unboxing, and using a Temperature Tower to evaluate the best extrusion temperature to use as well as a Bed and Layer Adhesion Test to evaluate the best bed temperature and cooling profile to get the best results. Extrusion problems, mean I had to change out the heat break tube and try again in Part 2.
Part 2 covers further Bed and Layer Adhesion testing, printing 3dBenchy for a fun print which shows the problems of using 0% fan with PETG, and finishes with using it to print a new product: a tray to hold the Sabacc Pot for the Star Wars Sabacc (poker) game. I compare the Polymaker PETG to Hatchbox PETG (review coming up next) to make the product and shows the winner.
