Seller hides the actual net weight and puts a misleading weight on the Amazon page
The seller knows they are selling a net weight of 0.9kg/2.0lb spool but they didn't mention it anywhere on the product page, and 2.2lb shows when you search for weight. But this 2.2lb is nowhere printed on the item itself. It is deceiving.In the case of mislabeling, I weigh it with the spool and compared it to other brands with a similar spool and it is ~0.3lb less than the other brands, so it is not a mislabeling.The result suggests the spool, the packaging, and desiccant only weigh 75g if it is a 1kg spool. I never met a plastic spool weigh under 75g. You can simply weigh an empty spool to verify this.People by default will assume the net weight of 1kb/2.2lb for a spool of filament if not specified. Seller deceived me to buy their product with ~10% less filament compared to the norm by not mentioning the net weight on the product description.

Flexible Filament is working well so far
When I purchased this filament, all of the Amazon reviews were for the cleaning filament, none for the flexible TPU. (Amazon should sell these with seperate reviews, as these are entirely different filaments.) So, I was really taking a chance on this filament, given the lack of reviews. However, it was far cheaper for a 2kg spool than anything else I could find, so I risked it. I am somewhere between a novice and pro, but this is my first attempt printing flexible. I have heard it can be hard to print. I watched a couple videos. I slowed my print speed down to about 65% normal, turned retraction off, and used a 0.18 layer height. I have only printed one small part so far, but it turned out quite nice, I had no issues.One thing of note, the product description states that this filament can stretch 3x it's normal length. That statement is a big stretch (ha). This TPU has good flexiblility, but is not very elastic. You probably won't be stretching it more that 1.2x it' original length, unless you are printing a rubber band. TPU is the same material that is used for my flexible phone case (I love those cases), you may be familiar with those.I wanted to get this review out there since there aren't any. I will update if I run into any more good or bad. Have fun.

Prints well and looks good
This PETG sticks to the bed well @70-85°C and seems to print well @240-245°C @20-30mms on a .04 nozzle, while it does suffer the notorious stringing issues known with PETG it does lay down very nicely for PETG and it does seem to clean up easily compared to other brands of PETG I've used and doesn't require a lot of post processing. Product was vacuum sealed but, still had a small amount of moisture which is expected so no shock there. Overall I like the product, am happy with it's performance and would purchase again. Looking forward to trying more Novamaker filament in the future.It also sparkles after it's been printed which looks cool.

Very vibrant Neon Green that prints very well
This was my first foray into printing with PETG and this filament did not disappoint.I'm printing this with a Prusa MK3 and using Hairspray as a print bed barrier to protect the PEI sheet underneath. I'm running a bed temperature of 90C with print temperature of 235 C. Prints come out beautifully with fantastic bed adhesion.The color is a very vibrant Neon Green. In the sun or UV light, it basically glows. This is not a dull or "lime" tinted green. This has the shade of green you'd want to use on a car. I've provided photos of different prints using this PETG filament both indoors and outdoors for perspective.At the current $19 price point, there is no reason to not buy this if you're looking for a Neon Green PETG that prints with little to no problems.

Needs to be dried but for the price it's okay
Works great but you have to dry it straight out the bag. I bought 5 rolls of various colors on sale and printed test prints with 3. All of them were popping and looked like crap. I took all 5 rolls and put them in my makeshift dryer which is a space heater pointed at a box filled with desiccant and a small fan through the wall, gets up to around 125f (15% humidity) for a few hours and tried again with way better results. If you're going to try this and don't have a dryer I'd suggest looking elsewhere. This is for petg filiment, I can't comment on the pla.Update:Attached some pictures of final products in white and blue after drying.Second update:Dried it in a proper dryer at 65c for 4 hours and works great, on an ender 3 my settings are hotend 240c, bed 80c, retraction distance 6.5, retraction speed 25mm/s, print speed 55mm/s on a glass bed with glue stick and no cooling. Some stringing but I'll try new settings and see if I can do betterUpdate 6/2021:I bought some more and this one was dry from the start. Works really well, I now use the prusament petg setting on my mk3 and it prints as good as filament twice the price. It's now 15.99 for prime day so I'm going to get some more

Looks good and produces very strong parts
I've been printing a ton of stuff (okay, lots of models less than a 1KG) using this roll of clear PETG on my Ender 3 Pro. I've found that 230-235C produces very strong parts and nice surface finish. Bed adhesion is decent if I print the first layer super slow, like 9mm/s. I should probably raise the bed temp from 65C, but I'm currently using the Creality magnetic build surface and it gets wonky/not flat when I raise the temp over 65C. On parts that are over 5mm wide on the first layer, bed adhesion is good and warping hasn't been an issue. On narrower pieces, I either design in 0.4mm pads/brims into the model or use a 3mm brim with the slicer to prevent warping. Very minor stringing with the increased retraction distance... I normally use 5mm retraction with PLA.I'm using Prusa Slicer 2.2.0, here's the settings that have worked well for me:Hotend: 235C. Print the last/top layer at 230C for a good finishBed: 65CRetraction: 8mm @ 40mm/s, de-retraction 20mm/sZ-hop: 0.28mmSpeed: 30mm/s perimeters, 40mm/s infill, top infill 30mm/s, first layer 30%2 perimeters with 3 solid top layers and 2 solid bottom layers offers good clarity -- looks like an ice cube!Fan off for everything but bridges/overhangs.Wish I could find some solid color PETG by Novamaker. A nice solid blue or green that printed this nice would be great.
