<\/b>Introduction to Gizmo Dorks filament<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"gizmoWith their stylish spools and range of specialty filaments, Gizmo Dorks is one of the most popular filaments brands today. They have a loyal following and, due to the wide range of high quality exotic filaments they offer, their fan base is constantly growing every month. <\/span><\/p>\n

But perhaps the best aspect of Gizmo Dorks is that they put the customer first.\u00a0<\/span>When you read a few comments on their website or other forums, you notice one thing immediately: everyone appreciates Gizmo Dorks’ customer service. A lot.<\/span><\/p>\n

But how good is the filament? <\/span><\/h2>\n

\"3DThe quality of Gizmo Dorks filament is good overall. As a distributor of Chinese filaments, they do have issues with consistency in quality and color from one spool to the next since they often go with the lowest distributor they can find.<\/span><\/p>\n

Still, these minor quality issues aside, sometimes a human touch is very nice. And combined with free shipping and frequent deals, Gizmo Dorks offers value for money that many filament companies can’t.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Filament: Price, Quality, and Color Range<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"bronze-pla-3d-printed-statue-300x264\"The price to quality ratio of Gizmo Dorks filaments are at the top of the industry. The quality could be improved slightly, but for there is not much wrong with it. <\/span><\/p>\n

Gizmo Dorks offers a bunch of excellent specialty filaments as well. The price is right in line with other similar filaments, like Hatchbox and SainSmart. <\/span><\/p>\n

And the color range is also good but they not all of them are available on third party marketplaces. Check out the Gizmo Dorks website for the full line up of colors and specialty filaments.<\/span><\/p>\n

Color Range<\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

The range of colors that Gizmo Dorks sells is great. They offer around 40 colors for PLA and around 30 colors of ABS.<\/p>\n

And like any good filament company, their color range is diverse with multiple shades of primary colors and several shades of translucent and specialty colors. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

One thing to watch out for is sometimes the color descriptions are a little inaccurate or unclear. <\/span><\/p>\n

Take the multiple shade shades of red as an example. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you order just regular red PLA, you may receive translucent red filament. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>\"\"And if you order the \u201clava red\u201d you may receive a more orange red. <\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, ordering \u201cruby red\u201d will get you the regular solid red that you’re looking for from the regular red PLA. <\/span><\/p>\n

This is just one example of how the color descriptions can be somewhat misleading for Gizmo dark filaments. <\/span><\/p>\n

That being said, Gizmo Dorks does offer one of the most diverse color for a general filament provider. <\/span><\/p>\n

Prints: Strength and Texture<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"GizmoGizmo Dorks PLA and ABS print really nicely. Just make sure you get the settings right, otherwise the PLA can give you some trouble. It\u2019s not super forgiving. <\/span><\/p>\n

But the settings are easy to find and once your printer is calibrated everything goes perfectly well. The PLA can also sometimes be a bit brittle. This is pretty typical for Chinese filaments. <\/span><\/p>\n

The ABS strength is fantastic. And it is super rigid, so not much bending happening here. <\/span><\/p>\n

The texture of finished ABS prints are glossy and smooth. One thing to note about the ABS black is that sometimes it turns white when the surface is scraped or scratched. <\/span><\/p>\n

Quality and Materials<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"GizmoThe quality of Gizmo Dorks is good for a (suspected) chinese filament. That being said, like other Chinese filaments, Gizmo Dorks does have some quality control issues. <\/span><\/p>\n

Every once in awhile you will get a dud roll. It doesn\u2019t happen often, but it does happen. Just contact the Gizmo Dorks customer service for a refund or replacement if this happens to you.<\/span><\/p>\n
