HATCHBOX Matte PLA 3D Printer Filament, Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.03 mm, 1 kg Spool, 1.75 mm, Ash Gray

Good filament for Prusa printer. Love this color.

Like many other people have mentioned, this PLA does not print like most other kinds of PLA. It's stiffer and requires a higher temperature, a larger extrusion multiplier, and less retraction. If you try to use a normal PLA profile it will not turn out well. With the right settings it prints great, and looks fantastic. It's way more matte than any other white filament I've used.

Nice color no clogs on

Long story short: To me it seems this matte filament is great quality for printing high detail display pieces, not for strong/structurally sound prints due to brittleness. The color and texture is great!The matte hides layer lines really well especially if you're printing at small layer heights. The terracotta color from Hatchbox is so beautiful and as described. However, matte filament is VERY brittle (not just Hatchbox brand but other matte filaments seem to have this caveat) so not good for structural/force-bearing prints, just objects that are meant to be looked at and not handled much. Also, adhesion with this stuff is CRAZY good to the point where its actually a problem (again an issue with matte filaments, it sticks like gum to my printbed and is hard to remove the finished print).

The media could not be loaded. It looks velvety after printing. Just beautiful and looks great in whatever it’s used in. Need to find more projects to use it. Made nifflers in this color and the effect was dramatic.Printed with generic pla setting on Bambu labs x1carbon

The appearance and printability of the Hatchbox matte black is amazing. Using a .3mm brass nozzle on an Artemis, small parts come out super clean. At first I did not realize they recommend 210c or hotter, so I printed at 200c and it did not work so well. At 210c, the results looked fantastic, but putting some shear force on it cause it to delaminate, so I upped it to 220 and it was much stronger. I have not yet printed enough to know if there will be abrasion wear on the nozzle. Bridging is as good as one could hope for at .35mm extrusion width and .2mm layers. I have been using Hatchbox white for years, so I expected high quality and was not disappointed. Update 7/4/2023: As nice as it looks, the interlayer adhesion is not that great, even when printed at 230c. It reminds me of how most silk filaments are weak interlayer. If you print something that is thick with dense infill, it can be fairly strong, but anything that is hollow with thin walls will break easily.

I wish I printed more stuff so I could use more/different filaments from hatchbox, but this is my second spool from Hatchbox and it prints the best out of the 8 brands i've tried

I have used Hatchbox PLA, specifically this gray since 2018 in my Ender 3. Once I had my settings dialed in I have always loved the results. I bought 2 rolls in October/November to finish a large project. Opening the first box I could feel the material was different/softer. I had multiple prints fail die to under extrusion. I troubleshoot every possibility. Occasionally a small print would be fine, but my extruder would be covered in shavings. I finally gave up & sent the rest of the project to a friend to print.Months later I decided to just do top to bottom maintenance and try again. I got one small print to not be terrible but each after under extrusion. I grabbed the last bit of Hatchbox PLA I had from a previous roll, barely anything left. The print came out perfectly. The issue is the Hatchbox PLA I bought at the end of 2022 is too soft & gets chewed up by the extruder making it difficult to extrude the pla constantly.I’m going to have to switch brands because I can’t even return these two rolls as I had to open the second one to check if it had the same problem.

Very Happy with this Item

Filamento de gran calidad y fiabilidad.El aspecto mate es espectacular.

This was the first time I had bought this brand of PLA and I was not dissapointed.The PLA performed consistently well under many hours of repetitive printing on the Ender 3 producing good results.

This product is an excellent option for those who are tired of shiny finishes. The quality is exceptional, and I have not encountered any issues with printing at 205 degrees Celsius.

Good filament
