Amazon Basics PLA 3D Printer Filament, 1.75mm, White, 1 kg Spool

While I haven't been 3D printing for long, it's literally opened up doors that I had previously never imagined possible. Pictured is one of my ribbon microphone tools (you can find these on Thingiverse as they are fully open source hardware). This particular tool corrugates the ribbon between two closely meshed gears. This was printed on a TronXY Pro 2 printer (similar to an Ender 3 but with fairly old, and buggy, Marlin software) and a stock 0.4mm nozzle. Despite that the prints are pretty much faultless. Bed adhesion (heated) was good and the filament performs well at a range of temperatures. This pearl lustre is pleasant and while this filament was surprisingly good for the price and produced mostly tools (I bought this instead of white by mistake) it should be excellent for decorative prints and lithophanes. What really surprised me was the addition of simple but thoughtful things that I hadn't imagined would come att his price: specifically a re-sealable bag and some moisture absorbent material in the reel! This is really neat because unless you've heard about the vacuum cleaner bag trick, it will allow you to store your PLA for months at a time when not in use and not end up as wetter than my washing when I left it out in the rain *(again). PLA isn't the worst offender for its hygroscopic properties (nylon takes that crown) but it is still prone to it, particularly in the summer months when air is holding more moisture.

Good quality works well

Just can’t seem to get a decent print with this filament. After multiple attempts and profiles for my own sanity, I had the write this review. Does not adhere to the build plate like all other basic PLA that I have and the prints that I did manage to complete seemed very poor quality to the same print from another PLA.

I see a lot of comments out on the net with advice to steer clear of stuff like this. It's cheap and of course has to be rubbish because of that. Being the adventurous sort on a tight budget I ignored common advice and bought some. That was three years ago. Since then I have purchased several more rolls and a a few of these multipacks (when they are available. To be fair to Amazon they don't make any claims to this being premium pla. Are there better ones? Absolutely there are. For many you pay quite a bit more as well. On a budget, this pla is just fine. I get perfectly satisfactory prints with high detail and reliable replication across different prints. It melts between 210-215 degrees nicely doesn't spit, blob or run. So far, I have found this pla to be one of the most consistent and reliable at this price range. As with anything, a lot of the result is in preparation. Making sure the model is set up properly for printing in the slicer is most of the issue. The more detail you want, the more carefully you need to set up the slice. For statues and hero figure prints you also need to consider the print head that is being used. Most pla printers come with a standard 0.4 head fitted. This is a perfectly fine general use head. But for figure prints you might want to use something smaller. I have the best results for heroic statue prints with a 0.2 head. The print take longer, you need to take a bit longer in the slicer settings, but the end result is excellent. I printed a Jack Sparrow statue for my daughter using this pla, in 1/10th scale. With a 0.2 head and this pla the end result was as good as a resin print - although the resin model would have been quite a bit smaller. I use this pla for general purpose, vehicles, scenic items for game boards, scatter terrain and similar. If I have to print something of particularly high quality then I will use a smaller head, but I don't automatically reach for the higher priced pla. More often than not I will start printing with this - a couple of small pieces from the whole model, then after inspecting them I will either continue or use a more expensive pla. So far, I have used a lot more of this than I have of the other pla variants that are available. I've attached a few photos of stuff that has been printed with this pla. They should illustrate that it is possible to get detailed and complex prints from Amazon filament.

've been using the Amazon Basics PLA 3D Printer Filament for a few months now, and I have to say I'm quite pleased with it. The filament has a consistent diameter, which is great for avoiding clogs in my printer. I’ve tried a few different colors, and they all print nicely without significant issues. One thing I really appreciate is how easy it is to work with. It adheres well to the print bed, and I've had minimal warping or curling. The finished prints have a nice finish and the colors are vibrant, making my projects look good. The spool itself is also user-friendly; it unwinds smoothly without tangling, which is a huge plus when you're in the middle of a long print. For the price, it’s hard to beat this quality. Overall, I’d definitely recommend the Amazon Basics PLA filament to anyone looking for reliable and affordable 3D printing material.

PLA Amarillo Actualización: Con plataforma de temperatura controlada, funciona perfecto (210°C extrusor, 55°C plataforma). Y usando Cura para cortar. -------- Funciona bien. Si se usa lápiz adhesivo es muy difícil de despegar y si no se usa, se despega solo (en mi caso aprovecho para dejar las orillas sin pegamento y así facilita el despegar las piezas). Lo malo es que las piezas no quedan tan limpias como con otro PLA que antes usaba (los soportes y la cama dejan residuos en las piezas). No venía al vacío, pero no he tenido problemas de extrusión. Probado en FF finder, 215°C

Reel is too wide to fit in Creality CFS. Rules it out for multi-colour printing.
