Update to 1.75mm Users:
    With the release of 1.75mm 618, there have been hundreds of new users reporting results and experiences with 618 1.75mm.
    We are seeing 2 classes of variance from the 3mm results provided by testers around the world earlier this year
.
1. Those that use printers with geared extruders, i.e. wades style. =
            Average increase in temp = 5-10 Degree C
            Other setting changed is retraction distance  - average change is a +2mm

2. Those with Direct drive extruders - Most major (Assembled) 3D Printer Vendors
            Average increase in temp = 5-10 Degree C
            Only other setting changed is retraction distance - average change is a +3mm - +3.5mm
                    (Some users were looking for information as to how to change their retraction distances with our reply to look for information in the support forums.)
                   
We wish to thank everyone that emailed with comments or questions!
