3D Printer - SUNLU Clear 1.75mm PETG Filament Review

5 hours ago

This video reviews SUNLU's Clear 1.75 PETG 3d printer filament.

I print a temperature tower and a layer and bed adhesion test that checks to see if it can be printed at a 0.3mm layer height instead of the usual 0.2mm. That will speed up printing of tall models, but requires sufficient layer adhesion or it won't be strong enough for normal use.

At the end I show you the finished product I made with this filament: An insert to the Star Wars Camtono safe that was seen in the movie "The Empire Strikes Back". The insert is available on my Etsy store:

The Camtono is sold by Disney on the Disney Store and in the Theme Parks:
