Works great!
So I own a flashforge and run mine through a spool of 1KG almost every other day. I was replacing the nozzle kit almost monthly, sometimes every two weeks. Cause when the nozzle for flashforge gets gunked, the whole thing gets gunked.This has made it so I not only never have to deal with small clogs, but I’m going on the same nozzle for two months now! My prints have been flawless and I’m no longer worried about filament ending up in wrong places or a print stopping halfway. It’s made a huge difference! Best purchase I’ve made for my printers maintenance so far. And I’ve been doing 3D printing for 6 years now.

This stuff WORKS
Are you frustrated with your printer? Are you about to take it into a parking lot and go straight office space on it?Hi, I'm Chase and I was about to hammer my Ender 3 into the ground with a baseball bat after a solid two weeks of trying and trying to successfully print anything other than PLA. Lol. There are a couple things I credit with taking my print game to the next level, and this is definitely one of them. In my humble opinion if you were to purchase this plastic repellant paint, a PEI build plate, and add the Bed Level Mesh plugin to Octoprint, you'll very likely end up only having a failed print once or twice a month. At least, thats my experience, and those couple failed prints only happen because the paint gets heated away during print after print and they start to fail again before you realize its sticking to the nozzle again and reapply paint. Trust me, its money well spent, and at an acceptable price too. A bottle should last you quite a while, despite being rather small. Its about the size of a finger nail polish container, but when youre just dabbing some on the tip of a nozzle once every month or so, it really has some long legs.I wish I could add pictures to show examples of how well this stuff works in practice, I feel like it always helps to see what you're buying and what it does before you purchase it for the first time. But alas, its kind of difficult to just post a picture of a big blob of filament and 25 consecutive failed prints, compared to the inverse occurrences you get when adding this plastic repellant paint to the mix. If you print in PETG or ABS, anything other than PLA that seems to really like to "booger" and tends to ruin prints as a result, this the the product for you! I have added what photos I could to help exhibit the apparent crystalline form the paint takes upon drying. This can be seen as the white almostg powdery looking substance coating the tip of my replacement nozzle. This visible coat of tiny crystals may disappear after a couple prints, but rest assured the paint is still active. As I said, you'll definitely know when its time to recoat the nozzle tip because your prints will start to fail again. Mine did at least. And as soon as I added a new coat, I got back to printing!I'll definitely be buying more in the future. This is definitely one of those quality of life products that just improve the 3D printing experience. Especially for those relatively new to the hobby and having trouble getting those more "exotic" filaments dialed iin. If you regularly print PETG or ABS type materials, you will not regret buying this product. I promise!Live long and prosper 🖖

Works great but I had the packaging problems
Works great, 30 hours of printing with pla+ and petg-cf, and no sticking. I coated the heater block as well, I figure it will pan out in the event of catastrophic failure.About 20% of the bottle had leaked, so minus one star, but you need so little that I won't make much of an issue out of it.As far as I am concerned this is a must have for 3d printing.

Will prevent filament creep and is a good line of defense against blobs of death.
Purchased after blobs of death killed two hotends and applied to all the nozzles- brass, stainless steel, and hardened steel.Seems to be working great as no filaments will stick. Not sure how long it lasts, but I've been reapplying the Slice sauce during every nozzle change or anytime I'm holding a loose nozzle.Good product that does as advertised!

Keep you hair end nozzles clean
This stuff just works. Make sure the nozzle tip is clean and brush this on before a print and you will not have an issue with filament building up on the nozzle.

Horrible packaging, fine product
Product is fine, packaging is not. The actual paint works at reducing adhesion of plastic to the nozzle. It is not a magic cure all but it does help.Unfortunately, between 1/3 and 1/2 the paint leaked on the inside of the bag it was shipped in, covering the exterior of the vial and inside of the bag in a slippery, nonstick coating. It was bad enough I would have returned it, but I needed to use it promptly and could not wait. Since I only received half as much paint usable paint as I should have due to poor packaging, I don't think it is a good value.Without the leak, I would give it 4 stars.If I'd

Bottle did NOT leak
I haven't used it yet, but because alot of people have this problem, I have recieved a small bottle, with the cap plastic sealed shut, in a tiny baggy. My bottle is full and has not leaked at all.

Are you listening yet!?
I bought a pack of 5, out of those 5, I have approximately 1, yes I said ONE full bottle of product split between ALL OF THEM. As I read through the reviews I realized that this is an ongoing issue. Apparently Slice is not interested in the fact that the majority of their customers experience the same problem, product leakage. I guess they think if they let the problem continue, they {customer} will just purchase more. I will never send them any more of my hard earned money, and I will encourage everyone that will listen not to either. Lets see if they care enough to make the necessary changes, and do whats right for the customers that received a fraction of the product they paid for.
