Found this filament to be very transparent and it's ABS (Verbatim).
The prints are single layer shells at 0.29 (more glass) and 0.09 (more milky), printed at 235 degrees.
The fan ruins the 0.09 layer print at the bottom, the awful seam is the result of unprofessional software development and the intend to invent things that work better in other products already.
But the ABS is an interesting filament (prints very nice and easy support removal).
LOOKS GREAT TO ME.
I Wonder if i could sand to 600 and then put a light coat of clear to make it transparent?
what do you mean by single layer shells?
were you using version 2 nozzle head?
what were your setting for the .290 layer?
did you use the abs setting ?
thanks

To be clear about that, I use a hack that allows me to set the extrusion temp in realtime regardless of the slicing profile used.
I doubt that you would be able to print that filament in good quality even with Z-Glass profile wich I assume to print with 250 degrees.
I just use Z-ABS profile for everything now and adjust temp accoringly.
About the sanding: I think you could get the same or better results as with using XTC-3D, shown before in the forum. Getting it totally clear I'm in doubt again.
But I am no 'post processor' for me it's good as is for putting labels behind printed 'windows', the barcode could be read without problems ofc.
With single layer shell I referred to the shell mode in Z-Suite, using 1 layer.
But be aware that random seam does not work (at least in 1.4.1) even if set and you get an awful seam.
Because a single layer shell could be printed quite fast I used the fan (normally for this object the print head just has to print like a spiral from bottom to top without stopping at any time, but sadly the Z-Guys cannot write reasonable software). Problem with auto fan is that it creates some deformation especially on smaller layers (0.09).
thanks just what i was looking for .. :D
what temp does the extruder run in the current z-suite when using the abs setting ??

275 degrees, that way you need an offset of about -40.
Would you not be able to get rid of the seam by choosing "random seam" from the options?

No, as I wrote above I used random seam (I use it almost for any print) but it doesn't work with shell mode, just another Z-Suite bug.
Minanga reported this for Version 1.2.1 already, still not fixed.

Ahh, you're right. I missed that in your post.
Are you using V2 heating head or v1 ?

I use V2 Hotend, but I can not see the relation of that question to my print (it would print also with V1).
