So far so good
After tuning in the settings, no problem printing up to 200mm/s so far, bed adhesions is fairly good at 110c first layer then down to 100c, nozzle at 240c

Beautiful colour, but needs drying
Ah GEEETECH filaments.Honestly, I like these guys. They make great filaments for a really affordable price.That being said, what I found is, their filament is a bit wet when you get it.Now, packing is good, you get your roll nicely packaged in vacuum bag with a dessicant bag inside. For that, no complaints. But, dessicant bag isn't enough to keep it print ready out of the box.So I did some tests as you can see in the pictures provided. Right of the box, I've printed a temperature tower and as you can see this thing strings A LOT.Now, I actually do 3d printing services so I know that first thing you do is to dry the filaments before printing.Temperature tower might look pretty bad, but next test I did without drying it is to print a self watering pot. As you can see, doesn't look as bad, because it doesn't have fine details to cause stringing.It only needed to be in a drybox for few hours on about 50c for all that stringing to go away.It's a great filament really, I like that almost terracotta colour. One star is deducted just because it came with more moisture than some other brands. Nevertheless, I would say if you want a nice filament and willing to dry it for few hours (as you should either way). You won't go wrong with this one.All tests were done on Prusa mini plus that I use for prototyping, no special settings were needed, and after drying it prints great. Love the matte look.

Prints great, super nice grainy matte effect
I was looking for a terracotta-type filament to make some plant pots. Turns out the matte orange is perfect for that. Not only does it look and feel great (sort of like real terracotta!) it prints perfectly with my regular ol' PLA settings I use every day. Didn't have to change a thing. I'll have to do some strength testing, but this filament might become one of my regulars.

Needs a bit of work to get results right.
Seems a bit more fiddly than standard PLA. Until you get the temperature and retraction right it strings all over the place and it can be a pain to print. It is pretty transparent too so you need to thicken walls up otherwise you get to see a lot of support structure.The material itself seems to need fettling to get a finer finish but the strength is good. I print a turntable adjustable foot with a fine thread to compare filaments and some have weak threads that come apart but this is pretty solid and almost as good as my best PLA.Once set up properly it prints daily well, my problem is the transparency. Printing with the standard .8 or 1mm walls from Cura lets the support structure show through and its even more visible when glowing in the dark.

Something different!
I have been looking for other special materials, especially glow that weren't blue or green and this is perfect! Alike the other glow materials it is partially transparent on first look but if left in the light or using a UV torch you can see the actual colour which is the glow orange.

Friendly fillament
I found this a very friendly fillament. And dry!! Compared to others worked perfectly with my standard ABS settings on the slider and no headaches. On others I had to fiddle around with the settings but this one was spot on.
