JJ's Orange Storm Giga, Shiny or Matte?, Filament Standards and MORE!!

Perfect First Layer Podcast

This Episodes Questions:

Hey guys!
seems like you guys cant stop talking about Bhaam-Booo printers. so this question is about filaments.
I like how manufactures clearly label their filaments what type of filament it is(PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA so on) but what I dont like is how different brands/manufactures filaments differ from one another... NOT ALL PLAs are SAME PLAs even though the TYPE and COLOR are the same. so that makes me question - what the heck these manufactures mix into their filaments? is there any regulating body like FDA for food stuff? how are these random bands(funky named-chinese brands) able to offer filaments from time to time on the market?will be looking forward to the next episode! Thanks, Max

Hi, I really enjoy the pod cast. Keep up the good work.
What the is the correlation between layer adhesion and a matted or shiny finish of a ABS print. Doesn’t a shiny finish mean better layer bonding. I want the strongest parts possible my chamber temps can reach 65-70c on a voron.
What confusing me is when I run a volumetric flow test per Ellis tuning guide It says to pay attention to where it transitions from matted to shiny. So which is better for layer adhesion for abs?
I hope you are understanding what I’m asking.

You had a question previously of someone who had acquired an X1 Carbon for work. They were very happy with it and asked for a recommendation for a second printer, something in the $2500 range. I was waiting for you to recommend the Bambu Lab X1E (Enterprise/Engineering) because that is exactly the price of that machine, but there was no mention of it. The hot end gets hotter and it has a full lan only capabilities. It seems like this machine is the reason we don't have full lan mode on the X1 Carbon, because they want to charge you an extra $1000 for that capability. To me, that is a bad reason to withhold software features on X1 Carbon. With a $600 Creality K1C able to do full lan mode out of the box, it seems to me it's direct competitor is really the $2500 Bambu X1E. What do you think?
Keep up the great work. Best 3d printing podcast there is. Adam
