Overall this filament is a solid 4 star in my book. What brought it down a notch for me was while the spool has even windings, they are too tight. Every print that I've done so far I noticed that the filament would tighten up, then suddenly jerk. I noticed this happening on either side of the spool and this did it consistently. This had me concerned as I felt at some point this is going to give some kind of printing error and sure enough during my 8th print, about the 1/2 way into a 12 hour print, there was a failure causing a layer seperation which i can only attribute to the very tight windings.Unfortunatly I wasnt there when this occured and I didnt notice the error in the print until it had finished, while I was removing it from it bed. Very disappointing to say the least. The other prints up to that point were flawless.I'm not an expert, but I'm not a novice either. I've been 3d printing for many years and I own 3 printers and this is the only time I have ever experienced this happening (the filament tightening then jerking causing layer seperation.) Some may think that there may have been an issue with the file causing the layer seperation, however all the previous prints came out fine and they were all the same type part, So this is the only conclusion I can come up with.The only other issue I have is with the color/name. This color is called "leather" which was the color I was hoping for, but I think that fell short a little. I will admit, it was close, but in my opinion it couldve been a tad darker. But "good enough" for what I needed in a "leather" color.Pros:-Made in America! And in the great state of Texas! I am so tired of stuff being farmed out to China!-Nice even windings-Prints like butter, prints come out silky smooth (I use Prusa Slicer on their finest setting. Very long print times but well worth it!)-Very minor, if any, stringing, pimplingCons:-Windings while are nice an even, are very tight causing the filament to tighten and then suddenly jerk especially as it spools out at either edge of the spool. To me, this is a Major zonk!-If you use Supports they leave the area light colored but with carefully applied heat to the effected area, it will return the original color back.Would I buy it again? Unfortunately because of the issue I experienced, I would have to say no. Which is a shame because up until the problem occurred I was really impressed with this filament, but I just don't want to chance this happening to me again. I'm hard pressed to even use up the rest of the remaining filament.I hope this review helped the 3d printing makers out there! "Keep calm and print on!" Lol.

This product is a cross between PLA and ABS. You have to turn the nozzle temp up a little more and the bed temp down or not on at all. I run 225 nozzle and 40 bed temp on a Creality Ender 3 Pro. I run the same on the Diggro Alpha-5. It was a little tricky to work with at first but their customer service gave me some advice and it worked. This product is stronger then PLA as well. So not only a highly recommended product, they also have quick customer service which is hard to find with filament manufacturers. A professional 3D modeler I bought files from told me about this product and I will never buy anything else now. It's worth every dime and you won't use as much as cheaper PLA filaments. So stop buying the cheap $12-$15 stuff and get this instead. You will not be disappointed.

If you're looking for a very light gray, this is pretty good.This PLA works very well in my Ender 3 V2. My machine is dialed perfectly and I use a flexible steel PEI coated build plate and a glue stick. Small parts don't unstick during a long. I printed 25 CHEP cubes (actually way more than 25 of various colors) as toys, and forcing the PLA to stick to the heated bed 50°C was needed.

This prints well. It sticks well to the bed, even without at brim or glue. Layer to layer and side to side adhesion are good. It will print at 200C, but seems a little happier at 210. Bed at 55C works well. No stringing. Good uniform color.

YOUR FIRST PRINT WITH THIS FILAMENT MUST BE A TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION TOWER! This will save you much frustration. Search prusaprinters.org for "small quick temperature tower" to find one that consumes only 4 grams of filament.For a Prusa MK3S, the filament jams the extruder at 210° (standard PLA temperature) with loud clicking noises. It prints well using 225° for the first layer and 220° for remaining layers.Read the cheat sheet in the product description. It matters. Use the filament override settings in your slicer to set retraction speed to 25 mm/s, and the heat bed settings recommended in the cheat sheet (60° first layer, 50° for the rest) has worked well (so far) for my powder-coated steel sheet. When the print is done, the part loosens itself completely from the build plate as it cools.Self-adhesion seems to be excellent compared to other PLA, although build plate adhesion is noticeably weaker, but still seems good enough. I printed a large part and it had no visible warping to ruin the adhesion, so that helps.The color is a somewhat translucent white. The first layer actually looks transparent on the build plate. For printing lithophanes, I recommend printing thicker than usual to get decent contrast, due to the translucency of this filament. The finish has a nice even sheen to it.

I'll start by saying that FilaCube has my favorite gray filament and I use it religiously, so I didn't hesitate at all to order this one. Same brand, different color, same results - right? Nope. I couldn't get this to print to save my life on 2 different printers. The adhesion was nonexistent. I actually spent the better part of my day troubleshooting my machines thinking it was them until my wife reminded me of the new filament. As soon as I changed spools to test with the Inland brand, it was like magic and I no longer had issues. Prior to this, I've had positive experiences with this brand as I mentioned previously and I've been printing for years. Lesson learned with this one, unfortunately

I used to buy filament directly from Prusa for my mini+ but once I tried this stuff, I'm not going back. Primarily because I have not had any problems with storing this over time. I no longer need dehumidifier boxes to dry filament out because this stuff still prints like a pro no matter where I store it. Sticks great, sheen is great, and no more clogs! Finally I can have fun printing again!
