Flashforge Dreamer (NX) - Hatchbox Gold PETG 1.75mm Filament Testing - Part 2
This two-part video shows the testing of Hatchbox Gold PETG 1.75mm Filament.
Part 1 shows unboxing, and using a Temperature Tower to evaluate the best extrusion temperature to use.
Part 2 covers further Bed and Layer Adhesion testing while adjusting the layer height to see what the limit is for this filament. The product I'm printing with this has tall sides and at 0.2mm layer height, takes 10+ hours to print. By using a thicker layer height I'm hoping to cut that down quite a bit. But the layer adhesion needs to be strong and I want to the sides to look good, so there's a tradeoff.
Adjusting the printing speed and the fan speed turns out to be the key for the best layer adhesion.
At the end I compare the results of using Hatchbox and Polymaker Gold PETG to make the final product and declare the winner.
