that particular print
failed, but it wasn't because of the filament. I hadn't yet got my mmu dialed in. The mmu now works reliably but I've not yet reprinted these two guys. I did two prints of this in other colors though and gave them away as gifts.
I've done two prints of the dual color light saber hilt in petg(black and silver) as well as a number of pla prints. The light saber hilts were 1700 color changes each. 1 intervention on the first and none on the second.
Print Settings
what Setting did u use to print these? is it the Setting from polymaker?
generic pla worked fine
default print settings with default generic pla profile worked fine.
RE: Polymaker PolyTerra PLA
Printed a few rolls of this stuff. Noticed I needed to be on the higher end of the temperature ratings otherwise the layer adhesion wasn't so great. I did a few more delicate prints and they would just snap easily but once I put my print temps up to 220 and first layer at 225 everything was a lot stronger. I also printed a few clips with prusament vs this stuff and noticed polyterra is less rigid than prusament. The clips had a lot more flex to them and weren't able to keep their shape as much. The prints themselves come out very beautifully so it really depends on what you're trying to print.
RE: Polymaker PolyTerra PLA
Same here.

RE: Polymaker PolyTerra PLA
I tried this filament for the first time today, I love the matte colours and it seemed to print really well. One issue I had was that it stuck too well, the print itself popped off without too much effort but the skirt was a real struggle to get off. I used the smooth sheet with the generic PLA profile. Does anyone have any tips on how to make it so that it doesn't stick quite so well? I don't really want to go through that each time I print with it.
RE: Polymaker PolyTerra PLA
I've never had the problem with PLA. The smooth sheet is really meant for PLA to print without any release agent. Are you waiting for it to cool? You can always put some glue stick/bed weld/magigoo down to help the print come on more easily.

RE: Polymaker PolyTerra PLA
I have found it there are really new absolutes. Each sheet is different.

RE: Polymaker PolyTerra PLA
Yeah it had cooled down by the time I went to remove it. All other PLA I have printed with comes off easily except for this stuff, I haven't been game to try it again but I might try with some glue stick and see how that goes. Thanks.
RE: Polymaker PolyTerra PLA
glue stick will definitely do the trick. Layerneer Bed Weld works great too. Make sure to give your sheet a good scrub with some dish soap, I use Dawn Platinum, with hot water too.
