Eastman Amphora, Taulman n-vent

[jhaupt]

Has anyone tried Eastman's new AM1800 Amphora filament? Taulman is selling it as "n-vent".

This is Eastman's press release: http://www.eastman.com/Markets/3D_Print ... ducts.aspx

And here's a zealous description:

Just ordered a spool from Taulman but it'll be a good month before I try it.

its just private labeled colorfabb xt for taulman. its nothing new. you can just order that from printed solid right now.

Okay. Is the concensus that it's not worth much attention now that PETG and ePC is available?

[jimc]

Well colorfabb xt is petg and a very nice material. Its a little stiffer than esum and alot more colors. Its just
More expensive than esun so i really dont bother with it.

[jhaupt]

OH, okay, I didn't realize they're more or less the same thing, that's a bit of a revelation.

If anyone is curious, I'm finding that Taulman n-vent seems to be better with bridging than eSun PETG. This picture doesn't show it all that well but it's a pretty big difference.

Yeah, that looks like it bridges significantly better. (If you have time, you should do a write-up on that one for the "insta's Filaments that Work" thread.)

What basic material is it?

[jimc]

Its rebranded colorfabb xt (petg)
