3D Solutech - 3DSUPLA175HPK Hot Pink 3D Printer Ultra PLA Filament 1.75MM Filament, Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.03 mm, 2.2 LBS (1.0KG)

I'll start out by saying it took a bit to dial in the settings for this filament, but once I did I was rewarded with absolutely beautiful prints. Surfaces are buttery smooth and have an excellent shine to them, right off the print bed. Don't be alarmed when you first start priming your extruder and the filament hangs under it like a banana, as it won't coil up like other filament does. It will expand to slightly more than the diameter it started out as. You will be able to do thin wall prints, so don't worry.Take your time to get the first layer right, ensuring you really smash it down good. I've seen that other reviewers have had problems with bed adhesion, but I've had zero problems printing on a PEI coated steel sheet (Prusa MK3 and MK2.5 upgrade). Just make sure the bed is clean and squish that first layer down. See the picture of the key print - perfection bed adhesion assured a successful print.I highly recommend calibrating your extrusion multiplier for this filament (well, for all your filaments for that matter), as you really want to avoid over extruding this filament - you'll have a mess. I've had the best luck using Slic3rPE with this filament. I prefer Simplify3D, but anything sliced for this filament has zits all over it and I haven't taken the time to track it down yet. If you are having problems with zits calibrate your extrusion multiplier and try different slicing software.Turn your speed down, you won't break any speed records printing with this filament - besides, you'll get a better shine. Set your max speed for 50mm/sec and drop other speeds down for 1st layer, perimeters, etc, accordingly. Set it up for a short, fast retraction with a .6 mm z-hop - mine is set for .8 distance at 35mm/sec speed. I've got my temp set for 210C. Once dialed in, you'll easily get prints like you see in my pictures - just stick with it until you do.So to sum it up, print it low, print it slow and you'll enjoy great prints. Prints with this filament do not seem as strong as other types of PLA, so I wouldn't recommend using it for parts that receive a lot of abuse, but it's for printing pretty stuff anyway ;)I highly recommend this filament, take the time to dial it in and you'll soon agree.Chief

This stuff is just beautiful. However, it is useless. Layer Adhesion is nonexistent.The layers unwind like string from a spool.My first print was with my normal 0.12 PLA settings. the print did have a few strings compared to the standard Solutech PLA, nonetheless it printed fine but fell apart when removing the print from the bed.I experimented with different settings to try to fix the Layer Adhesion issue to no avail.I have a total of 21 different colors of Solutech PLA filament. This is the first issue that I have ever had with their PLA filament. I’m hoping that this is just a bad batch and not the characteristics of Ultra PLA. Since I have a spool of Hot Pink Ultra PLA on its way. I hate to be disappointed again.Update:So, the Ultra Hot Pink has moderately better Layer Adhesion.The print failed at random levels unlike the Ultra Blue that did not properly adhere at every layer.I also print (Benchy) BENCHMARK for every spool of filament that I purchase. The smoke stack easily broke off of both the Ultra Blue and Hot Pink.If you are on a budget and don’t want to waste your money, look else ware for shiny PLA. However, I can recommend the standard Solutech PLA filament. I have printed with over 20 different colors and they have all preformed as expected.

After reading many negative reviews I thought I'd provide some positive feedback, on the White filament... As you can see in the first photo, this filament DOES indeed seem to expand quite a bit, when pushed through the nozzle. The size you see at the tip of my nozzle is what I expected, but the bit you see on the printer bed is what it looks like when you push it through. At first, this concerned me and I started to think I would regret this purchase. I decided to go ahead and print a temp tower and see how it went... It printed beautifully! It hardly strings, lays down smooth, sticks well and finishes strong! I did notice on the first couple of layers that it expanded on the bed and my nozzle was dragging through what had been printed, so there is some scoring/marring. I may need to calibrate my extruder again to help with this. Overall though it doesn't seem to affect the print, other than the top layer as seen in the second photo. As far as the strength/brittleness, I can't say that its less durable than any other PLA filament I've printed with, and I primarily print with PLA+. I've dropped it, tried crushing it at the thin parts and even used my exact-o knife to cut the holes a bit for the dominos seen in the third photo. (It's definitely NOT "brittle" or "styrofoam" as other reviewers stated.) I suspect I needed to cut/trim the holes because of the expansion but it was minimal and may also be due to the design of the model. I'm used to printing my PLA+ at around 205 to 210. While the numbers in the temp tower look better at 210, the bridging looks better at 205, as well there are less dimples in the finish. I printed with my standard PLA profile settings and I'm really happy with the results. I would definitely recommend this filament and I will probably buy a different color for myself in the future!!Printed with my mostly stock 2018 Gold Tevo Tornado

I print cookie cutters and this filament has left cobwebs like strings on all my cutters and they print out so flimsy that I have broken a few removing them from the build plate.Will definitely not be buying this again. My last filament was amazing and strong and no settings have changed.

El título lo dice todo, la estética es excelente pero solo sirve para eso, impresiones estéticas; para uso incluso ligero las capas se separa fácilmente

Es un filamento de excelente calidad, viene bien sellado al vacío y con su respectivo sobre de bolitas antihumedad, el diámetro es consistente, el olor y el color son muy agradables (verde metálico), lo volveré a comprar pronto.

Un excelente acabado, brillante y de buena resistencia, para imprimir sin soportes debido al tipo de material tus impresiones quedan increibles

I bumped my printer temperature up 10 degrees (from 190 to 200) compared to Hatchbox PLA, and it worked wonderfully. Printed for roughly 16 hours for the pieces in the pictures attached with no issues. Plastic has an interesting looking sheen to it.
