Great video, as always ;) It's very interesting to see that what Prusa claims on their datasheets is very different from the results you and CNCKitchen got
I don't mind the long video at all! It's great! The PC Blend's properties will depend greatly on whatever it is blended with, as it will take on some of the properties of that material.
PC Blend looks very interesting to me. I finally upgraded to an all-metal heat break, so I can now consider printing some of these hotter filaments. Also, I really appreciate the compression creep test, with the screw clamping. A lot of my printed printer parts are under compressive loads, not just at their mounting points where they're often screwed in place, but also as their primary function-belt tensioner mounts, a motor mount spacer on my Y axis, etc.
This is a great video. I've used prusament PLA, PETG, and ASA (although because of shipping to the US I usually use different brands). The only big surprises in your video for me were that I think the ASA is a lot more rigid than PETG and that I think I get better layer adhesion with ASA than you are. I have never measured, though, so your experiments are more useful. Thanks!
The length of your videos are just fine, impatient people can just jump to the results. I have RUclips Premium so I never see ads (creators just get a flat cut from my monthly fees is my understanding) so I was surprised that you aren’t monetizing your videos given the time, effort and material costs for some of the filaments.
Great content. Nice to see details of tests, as it clearly details process and make recreating easy should anyone wish to duplicate. Thanks for all the time dedicated to making these videos, the testing processes and building the equipment to preform tests.
While I love my mk3s, my experience with prusa support has not been stellar either. When the screen of the mk3s started displaying discolorations after 1 year and 1 month, they simply told me that it's out of warranty. And it took quite a bit of time before support would respond at all. Thank you for testing :)
Awesome thank you! Soon I will have another similar video, all Nylon filaments from Polymaker (printing in progress). Then PA11, which already arrived from Prusament (with their new special sheet for PA material)
I strongly encourage any "RUclipsr" to follow the advice of Leo LaPorte ( The Tech Guy - look him up ). He has been instructing us all since the mid-1980's, and knows what he is talking about. His approach is to purchase ANYTHING he "reviews" with his own money. This gives him more credibility. He is not beholding to ANY manufacturer, and will always inform his audience whether a company is a sponsor. His belief is that "he has skin in the game when he pays for it, just like the typical listener would". Just a suggestion.
Hi Igor, great job! Very useful. If I may make a suggestion - could you please publish the extrusion factors and line width you used for the the test specimens? I found these settings along with the print temp (which you used as speced) have high impact on the sample mechanical properties mainly due to changes in interlayer adhesion. It may be also a good theme for future video....
Hi grate video very informotive. I live in New Zealand and can not easily get alot of filaments that are availible over seas and would like to set some locally made filaments is there any way to get your test print files.
Can you add one more test method for next filament review. To soak all speciment that you print in water and test it after one week and compare it to the dry one... how much it will affect the strength of each type of filament. I'm curious especially with PLA, it is very strong when it's dried compared to PETG, but sometimes a new spool of PLA is so brittle and easy to snap off when it is moist, so we need to dry it first to get better results. Will PETG or other filament have better results than PLA after soaking in water? I really hope that you can test this method, so we know how much these filament strength when using it at outdoor (hot and wet condition) thank you.
Hardness could be interesting for scratch resistance in an end product. But then again an end product is most likely varnished. Honestly considering how cheap PETG is and how well it prints, it is easy my most favorite material. ASA stinks and releases really bad fumes, PC is hard to print and PLA is brittle and melts in the summer. I am still looking for a better material than PETG, I thought maybe fiber infused PETG or PA could be that material but I am guessing those fibers are really dangerous and the trade off is not worth it. I t would be interesting to know what you think ?
I have some sample filaments CF PETG and PA. But I also got some engineering PLA 10m sample from Filaticum, it can resist to temps up to 150C (own test), so I asked for full spool to do complete testing..
I now like PCTG better than PETG, incredible layer adhesion and a bit less brittle. Harder TPUs (95A) are also incredibly durable and not so hard to prInt.
@@MyTechFun Ah very nice, I hope you make some videos in regard to those materials as well. Very nice work by the way. I really like your videos. Especially the ones where you test resin materials and mixes etc. Very well done.
It is expensive filament and my budget is limited (thanks to Prusament approach, I have to buy them myself), but I am curious person, this means it will be tested too, but later, in separate video (maybe in direct comparison with non CF version)
@@MyTechFun I have ordered one that should arrive in a week or 2. Do you live in the EU? I can send it to you so you can do your test (if you promise to send it back!)
@@MyTechFun Great, I can't wait for your results! BTW, I'd also love if you could do some tests with the Polymaker PolyMide Family (CoPA, PA-6 CF, PA-6 GF and PA-12 CF)
Hey great review! I have a MK3s with more than 4000+hrs on it now(no issues so far), I print mostly Prusament using their default settings with great results. I have been printing PC blend and the PCCF on a smooth pei sheet with glue stick with no warping issues. I normally just use .2mm high "dots" on the corners of parts I think might warp, but I rarely use them or a brim. My enclosure is well sealed, I should put a temp probe in too see how warm it gets. It looks like maybe your brims weren't working properly on the PC test, it looks like they aren't well attached to the part?
I'm interested in your choice of Galaxy ASA. I love Prusament's galaxy PLA but have found it not as strong as their regular PLA. If you do another test of Prusament stuff I'd love for you to compare the non Galaxy version of ASA. Tell me what it costs and I'll donate that cost to you.
I will do a quick test with white (natural) ASA. I have approx 0.25 kg on old spool. Probably layer adhesion and tensile tests.I will create a youtube post about results
What I don’t understand, from my point of view a application of glue stick is for a separation agent job as you self mentioned. But at the same time you are claiming bed adhesion and say you have to use the stick for better adhesion? I never used any agent and especially on the prusa silk bed I have no issues with any of the Prusaments.
Did I mention earlier? Stop using my oven!
I love your channel, no matter how small it is.
Same here! As we all know size doesn’t matter ;)!
No problems with the length of the video here. Thank you for the in-depth review.
This is such an underrated testing video! Thank you so much for doing all this work.
The most underrated test channel. Thank you very detailed and informative, even size of spools sometimes is included as info. Wow.

I got 350 Prusameters and can get a Spool for Free. Would you recommend PETG or Asa and which color do you think looks best ?
@@DaVid-ju7ee Depending on your needs. For UV resistance I would choose ASA.
Thanks

Awesome data video not too long.
ASA probably it has been printed at too low temperature, maybe with 10 °C more it might have had a better layer adhesion, what do you think?
Yes, higher temp helps with layer adhesion, but as I mentioned in video, I printed it on pre-set values in Prusa slicer.
Hi grate video very informotive. I live in New Zealand and can not easily get alot of filaments that are availible over seas and would like to set some locally made filaments is there any way to get your test print files.
