3D Printlife Alga 1.75mm, 375g Blue Algix 3D Printer Filament, Dimensional Accuracy < +/- 0.05 mm, Blue

I was really excited by this innovative and environmentally friendly filament, but unfortunately, it is such a pain to work with. Two positive aspects: the Agave Blue is gorgeous and the matte texture is really nice. No matter the settings, I kept getting really really intense stringing. I was printing with 185C extruder and 55C bed and changing speed/retraction/cooling, but still lots of stringing. This stuff is EXTREMELY brittle. The first time I tried to load it into my printer, it snapped. After 6 hours of printing for one print, my extruder snapped the filament because it is so horribly weak. Because of the terrible experience trying to get the snapped filament out of my printer, I'm honestly too afraid to try to print with this stuff again...All in all, pretty disappointed.

It prints well and preserves a moderate amount of detail. The finished texture is a bit chalky. Great for test prints, or for a particular effect. Should be compostable.

This stuff prints very nicely, and the smell is very interesting. It grows on you lol.

Tried this recently, it is a very interesting type of filament indeed, it does produce what on the surface looks like a rough finish, but this is because it feels, looks and even smells like wood. I can see some interesting applications for this filament...
