After reviewing the AIO Robotics AIOWHITE PLA 3D Printer Filament<\/a>, which won an Armchair Arcade Editor’s Choice award<\/a>, I was anxious to see the end result of the free filament offer that came in that package. Within a few weeks of completing the required steps, the AIOGRAY<\/a> filament arrived, with the only difference being that instead of arriving surrounded by a custom fit cardboard box, it came sealed in a USPS envelope mailer.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, most likely due to the way it was handled during shipping, the filament spool arrived warped and ultimately proved unusable. Fortunately, even though this was part of a free offer, AIO Robotics was kind enough to send out a replacement spool, this one AIOGREEN<\/a>, which arrived without incident or damage.<\/p>\n

The filament is now loaded. Note that in order to better keep smaller 0.5 kg spools on the New Matter MOD-t in place, I printed and now use the Half Kilo Spool Converter, which is that brown bit on the black spool. You can find it in the New Matter store and it works brilliantly.<\/p><\/div>\n

Being the geek that I am, I would liken AIOGREEN to a Hulk<\/a> green, and it may very well inspire me to print a Hulk figure. However, for now, I just ran through a standard battery of print tests (Highest Quality, 210 degrees Celsius) on my New Matter MOD-t<\/a> 3D printer.<\/p>\n

The first was an emoji figure from the New Matter store<\/a>. I chose the puke emoji because of the extra detail in that figure and how I thought the green color was kind of appropriate. As you can see, it printed wonderfully, with smooth lines and no slips, particularly compared to his friends, which printed a little rougher and had some layer slipping.<\/p>\n
