HATCHBOX 1.75mm White PLA 3D Printer Filament, 1 KG Spool, Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.03 mm, 3D Printing Filament

The media could not be loaded. I was nervous to buy this as I've had a few recent issues with PLA from Amazon. When it came, it looked extremely thin compared to my best rolls, so I didn't hold out much hope for it being tidy and not creating loose layers.I was so wrong.This is by far the best PLA I've ever used. I design and print 1/16-1/24 miniatures and it's the best quality I've ever got out of my printer. Really tight rows, good adhesion, and a shiny finish. It's a little brittle on thinner parts, and a little harder to sand than others, but it's easily my new favourite go-to. Going to get some more colours soon. (Also, this was the first test print of something I designed in tinkercad and honestly, I've never had a first test print this successful. I printed at 185º which is slightly lower than usual for me, but it worked nicely.)

When you are pretty new to a hobby, you need a product that is easy to use, and this doesn’t disappoint. I printed a temperature tower to get my setting right with the product, and there was very little difference throughout the recommended range, so little that I had to double check that I hadn’t printed the whole tower at the same temperature setting. It might not mean much from a professional standpoint, but to an amateur, having a pretty wide range that the product remains stable and useable means that it’s less messing around to get things set up right. Some other brands that I’ve tried have had pretty narrow temperature ranges to get a good result.On top of this, the finish was clean, adhesion was excellent, no shrinkage at the corners that I’ve had with other brands, and no nasty smells while printing.I definitely understand why it’s rated so highly, even if it is a bit higher priced than the competition.Reliable and easy to use, shame it’s now out of stock when I need another roll of black.

Again great filament from hatchbox

Purchased this after after some bad experiences with some other budget filaments.Tests with this filament have produced some very good results. I very quickly got setting dialed in to remove most stringing and leter adhesion issues.And the overall quality of prints (even in draft) is more than acceptable.This is my new goto prototyping filament.

Hatchbox is now my go to filament. Great opacity, great performance at a good price.This filament measured 1.73 to 1.74mm consistently. I found that it very slightly under-extruded but sorted that with 1.02 flow rate multiplier in Slic3r - maybe something to do with this particular pigment.Prints very well at around 205°C on either heated or non-heated bed, with no odour. Slight gloss finish, good adhesion especially on blue tape.I've tried Rigid.ink PLA and there is very little between the two. If Rigid.ink was a similar price then I'd buy that but it's nearly twice the price on Amazon.The filament comes in a good quality box and is vac-packed with silica gel. The box and reel are colour coded so you can see at a glance what the filament colour is - nice touch.Test photo 20mm cube: 0.4mm layer, 0.5mm nozzle @ 205°C with 3mm retraction on 3+ year old RepRapPro Ormerod.

Tried a few different filaments now and this is the first one that I've loaded into my FlashForge Adventurer 3, hit print and perfect items have come out. It really is so simple to use. The temp settings suggested by hatchbox are spot on and the print quality is excellent, will be buying again!

This is very good filament. It prints well once setup correctly.The colour is a bit odd. Very very pale beige - almost flesh colour - sorry white with a slight tint rather than what I'd consider beige.This is the only filament I've had where I've had the layers delaminate (split) when printing a large box.The end result was very brittle. (not hot enough).Adjusting the print temp solved this but as I said this is the 1st time I've had this problem.Once setup correctly printed well

I had mixed results with this filament initially, but once I bumped up the nozzle temperature to the higher end of the recommended range things have been consistently good (with the usual amount of tweaking/variability you get with all filament)However, the thing that really put me off using Hatchbox filament was having a large overnight print fail because there was a tangle in the spool, so when I came down to check on my print in the morning it had failed to print the top layers because no more filament could be pulled through.Short of unravelling the whole reel and winding it back myself, I'm not sure there's any way I could have foreseen this. Really irritating, and not an issue I've had (yet) with any other filament. I think I'll stick to the cheaper eSUN/SUNLU brands - in my experience they perform just as well and I haven't had any such issues with their spools.
