Taulman Alloy 910 Black 3D Printing Filament - 1.75mm

This is the second roll I have ordered I returned the first thinking it was one of those things that didn't go quite right. My original order the bag was loose and the material was quite wet. After a day or 2 in my EBox it dried out and worked ok. I just opened the second order and the same thing impossible to use straight out of the bag. Very wet and I suspect after a day or 2 in the EBox it will be usable. Where I live it averages ~15% humidity and this was out of the sealed bag. This stuff is expensive and these quality issues should not happen. I have a few thoughts on what is going on but I don't have enough info. Extruding into air the filament boils enough to just about separate the filament. looks like a bunch of little balloons.I would not recommend anyone buy from this supplier. I can't be sure the problem with this supplier but the rest of the reviews I have seen claim this to be the best filament made. 2 bad rolls...some thing is wrong.I have used at least 50 different rolls of PLA PLA+ Nylon ABS PETG TGlase from Taulman, one of the prettiest filaments. Many different vendors and filament types and none of those vendors shipped wet filament.

I have printed with Alloy 910 a fair amount over the years and it's a great product. This roll I received was soft and gummy once printed. It was nothing like the rigid material that could take abuse that I have received direct from Taulman. I dried it in the oven for four hours and it started printing foam in no time. I understand that nylon attracts moisture bigtime, but this is just ridiculous. The walls of my print are so rubbery and flexible that it feels like I got a shipment of some semi rigid flexible material that had been rebranded as Taulman Alloy 910 by mistake. It's garbage and not worth my investment or my time.

Ordered it a while ago and finally got a chance to try it. Opened the box and the vacuum sealed bag was loose and not sealed. Tried to print with it and the filament just bubbled with signs of moisture in it. I'll be buying a different brand for sure.

Like everyone says, nylon curls. I spent some time getting the first layer to stick. The textured bed on my Preusa Mk3 finally worked well with a little glue stick added. I basically printed at the recommended settings for the Mk3 from Slic3r with changes to minimize support structure. I also used a skirt and raft. They were probably overkill. The strength and flexibility of the material makes it hard to remove the supports and especially the raft. I'll try to forgo the raft on my next prints. I also got a fair amount of stringing especially in one area. Overall, the material prints well once the first layer behaves. I think it will be a great high strength material with a little more setting tweaking. The picture shows the top and bottom of the as printed first model. The supports and most of the raft have been removed. It's two halves of an outboard lower unit.

Good but expensive, 1 lb roll not 2.2 lb like every other Filament.I really like using this Filament but it is 4x the price of other filaments. Is it four times better...no. Actual cost would be approx $80 for a standard 2.2 lb roll. Knocked off one star due to price.

Taulman3D produces high quality filament. I am pleased with 910. It is a high performance material. Though Alloy 910 can be tough to print, it makes strong, high quality parts.

Great stuff! No significant moisture straight out of the bag. Use GeckoTek as a build surface though. 250C nozzle and 45C bed.

Easy to print, very consistent from roll to roll. I've purchased at least 20 rolls if not more and have always been happy with the product.
