I bought some red and blue filament from this ebay supplier: [
www.ebay.com].
It was supposed to be 1.75mm ABS. The boxes the spools came in were marked as:
ABS 1.75/BLUE/140115ABS002 and ABS 1.75/RED/130819ABS008
but the spools themselves were not. The spools were vacuum sealed.
The filament, however, is not (as far as I can tell) ABS or PLA. It prints very well at ABS profile with extrusion at 230C and heated bed at 110C, but it does not dissolve in acetone. It smells like ABS when printing or burnt, not like PLA.
The filament prints with the sharpness of PLA without needing the cooling fans.
Anyone have any idea of what kind of filament this is or what tests I can do to determine its composition?
Thank you,
NickE
