- colorFabb is putting its own spin on PLA filament - and it's subjectively and objectively working out pretty well!

Love that you're continuing this series. Keep up the good work!
oh yes bought me a sample of this a few weeks back and don't know how they do it but it looks remarkably better than any other filament I tried
Genau diese Erfahrung habe ich auch gemacht mit dem Material. Danke für die Review :)
Vielen Dank für die vielen hilfreichen Videos!
Another awesome review Tom :D
I love your testing method I have to say I'm new to getting printing but these tests have helped me understand the limitations of Filament so much better.
Thanks for Sharing your knowledge with us. :D
The inclusion of PHA definitely goes a long way to make PLA's tougher - but also does make them more 'chewy' with some mixes I've tried feeling like they're never truly set - are you testing MeltInk? That one is heavy handed with the PHA imho.
An old comment to reply to but I've used MeltInk PLA/PHA and it was among the worst I've ever used. I came back to a print from it a year later and it COMPLETELY disintegrated in my hand. It would be really cool to see you revisit old prints to see how the material has help up over time.
great stuff, hopefully we will se some more colorfabb reviews, it's what I use most :-)
I've gone through 10 boxes of these stuff now and really can't look back, they print in such a stable manner, sticks to the bed well, supports can be removed easily, and has a slightly more matte finish than normal PLA (which is desirable for me), more importantly, the improved toughness makes it really great for mechanical parts where PLA would shatter.
Have you tried their metallic/silver color? I have been searching for a good silver color that is durable as all the silk filaments have terrible layer adhesion and just break after a while.
After initial clogging problems on my BCN3D Sigma I'm now loving the ColorFabb PLA/PHA. I need to print at higher temp than suggested, usually 230, print speed of 70 mms and bed only 40 (with hair spray) but so far no other problems. #Result :)
Keep up the excellent work. I love these reviews!
I read that this PLA/PHA can be vapor smoothed with acetone. Could you test that?
Yay I guessed the next video!
Nope, it can't. I tried this before a few times using cold and hot acetone vapor, since I mostly print with Colorfabb's PLA/PHA. You can use Tetrahydrofuran (THF) to smooth PLA or PLA/PHA blends, but that stuff is very nasty and not recommended to use without proper tools and knowledge.
You can also use Ethyl Acetate, its a bit safer than THF. Though I have not seen much info about cold vapor smoothing, most people either paint it on, dunk it, or hot vapor smooth. Might be worth looking into?
What about the other ColorFabb material variants?
I would be very interested on how XT and especially HT compare to other materials. I am about to work on redoing my printer, and for that the ColorFabb HT material would be perfectly suited - if it can print with not too much trouble.
Hey Thom, do you plan on reviewing Polymaker's Polymax PLA? It's quite an expensive filament but I really like its printing quality even at speeds over 90mm/s. I would love seeing it compared to the other PLAs' mechanical tests you made.
I have colorFabb PLA/PHA in silver and gold and they're very good-looking filaments! I just wish it was a tad cheaper. I'm used to paying 29.99/kg for PLA from Push Plastic, which is some of the best PLA I've ever printed, and if I recall correctly, colorFabb PLA/PHA cost me 39.99 for .75kg when I got it. :(
The music in the background was used in the official Sonic Mania trailer
I love the music!!!!!
I haven't tried any of the other pla/pha filaments other than a green sample and a roll of the blueish white. and I have to say that the white was a horrible material to print. really brittle and the layers where really bad. I guess the best way to describe it is that it prints like toothpaste. not that I have ever printed toothpaste. but the green sample was amazing. really easy almost no warping and gave a good result. so I guess the quality depends on the pigment they use.
I bet they are using white zinc pigment aka Chinese white. A color that oil painters have found to become brittle and flake off over time.
Very nice print quality
Tom, do you have any comparison reviews between flexible filaments? I have an application for flexible parts but I'm having a hard time deciding what filament to buy since we have stuff like ninja flex and semi flex filaments now it's hard to make a choice. Thanks!
Yeah I get that I'm going to school for engineering but it would be cool to see a visual demonstration of how they perform side by side. Plus when 3D printing something your mechanical properties are compromised so using young's modulus wouldn't be quite representative of how they actually perform.
For how much longer will the Filaween series go on for?
Why should it stop?
Thomas I am a huge fan, and maybe since I'm early you will reply. First on your support me page you haven't capitalized your "I" and it makes your page seem much less professional than you actually are. Second your videos are the gold standard of 3-d printing youtube so thank you for that! Third, if it isn't too much to ask could you please try to find Canadian shipping and Amazon links? While it seems like we are the same as the United States due to our proximity, we do not have the equivalent of a European Union which allows actual cheap trade (NAFTA is a bit of a joke for the average consumer) Thank you again!
Thanks for the reply. English grammar is the biggest pain, even those of us with English as a first language struggle with it. I would love to be able to contribute to your channel through buying 3-D printing supplies! If adding another affiliate accomplishes that I am all for it!
"I" meaning "ich" is always capitalized. Just because "I" is the most important person for everyone :)
But is it as strong as Carbonyte from rigid.ink?
will you be testing the new nylon/carbon fibre "carbonyte" filament from rigid.ink?
***** nice :-)
Review hobbykings filaments they are super cheap at $15aud
Does PHA have toxic fumes? Stink or smell good?
No, it does not influence the smell when printing from when printing with regular PLA. PHA is, like PLA, a bioplastic and non-toxic when printing with it.
ColorFabb Do you know by any chance a scientific study on how toxic are fumes on each filament type? We read a lot of "PLA should be ok" and "ABS is no good" but I didn't find anything scientifically tested yet. Same for how much are filaments really biodegradable.
Our material partner Eastman Chemical Company has done studies to measure emissions for ABS, PLA and the co-polyesters we produce (the raw materials are Eastman's). You can find the study here: www.eastman.com/Literature_Center/S/SPMBS1615.pdf
Thank you :) very good info on PLA and ABS. Now onto looking for more info to include PETG.
ColorFabb PLA/PHA smells good. I think it smells a little bit like sugar cookies, although not quite as strong.
I hate Colorfabb PLA/PHA with a passion... except the natural one !
It's basically an entirely different filament. The natural (the one tested here) is great. Easy to print, very rigid and gives stunning prints whereas I find the white, blue or black filaments really BAD. They are chewy and have horrible detail render.
Guys, please note that Tom's test here is only about the Natural color!
Tom, could you tell us if you observed the same thing as I did ?
Yohann Nédélec the natural filament has no PHA, it's on the website
I would have liked to have seen an explanation of what pla-pha is as well so I didnt have to go and research it and the reason I watch these kinds of videos. You don't have to get all sciency and shit but a quick overview would have been nice :-D
I think Thomas's "it's a co-polymer from PLA and a naturally occurring PHA bio polymer" qualifies as a "quick overview".
Arrr yeah no doesnt qualify
Hi Luke. Like PLA, PHA is a bioplastic. Adding a bit of this to the PLA makes it less brittle, better yield at break and tougher than regular PLA. colorFabb's background is in biopolymers amongst others and this knowledge stems from the time before we were active in 3D printing. Getting the right formulation of PLA and PHA took almost a year before we started, resulting in our custom PLA/PHA blend which has been on the market, quite successfully, for the past 4 years.
Thanks :-D
