PLA 20 Color 1kg

Bought two rolls, one was white the other had a faint pink tint to it. The white is in the drier right now to see if that will help make it more consistent, the pink seems to feed a bit better and is on the printer now. On checking the white, I cut off a meter-long piece and checked the diameter with a dial caliper about every 10mm. The readings stayed around 1.72mm with spots as high as 1.78mm and as low as 1.68mm. That may explain why my prints were coming out with gaps and voids in them. I'll set this batch aside for use on prototypes and test runs, can't trust it on bigger pieces or anything I'd send to a customer.

Cheap, im still having difficulty getting good print consistently with this filament. Used name brand alternatives with much much better results. Tried extensive changes in speed temp and layer height, all crap. Disappointing. Hope others have had better luck. I suggest for the time invested and frustration to just spend a few extra bucks. You get what you pay for.Update: Successful with several projects, lots of artifacts in movement planes. Decent prototypes overall, since used exclusively for visual mock-up. Point is if you expect the best from the cheapest, you're going to be upset a lot in life. Rostock Max v.2.1 190ce/50cb abs slurry with slow external perimeters.

This was the first roll of filament I've used in my Mbot cube, and I'm quite happy with the results. The diameter was within reasonable tolerance (less than 0.05mm variation). Extrusion seemed to work best between 220C and 230C. The roll I received was a light pink color. I occasionally had trouble with the filament slipping while feeding into the printer, but that was due to too much stress on the filament roll, which I'm working on fixing. I plan to get more of this product for test prints and other items that I don't need a specific color for.

Ive never written a review but felt compelled to tell the other side of the story.. I purchased one spool and received the color gray.. which was perfect cuz I like neutral tones. This loaded into my flash forge dreamer easily and Ive made several prints with little to no issues. And the issues Ive had were either my model not slicing correctly or me just pushing the limits of my printer. This is my first 3d printer and for me it still takes a few attempts to dial in the way I want my prints to come out.. Its no bearing on the filament. Im pleased with this and plan on buying another roll of pla and a roll of abs..

Meets minimum acceptable standard for PLA filament. Consistent diameter but a bit brittle. Good for "scratch paper" kinds of prototyping. Good value at <$19/1kg. I guess this random color product is the result of switching colors during the filament production process, so part of this would otherwise be manufacturing waste... glad they could turn it into a salable product. I received Red.

I bought two rolls of this filament to give it a try. I got one orange and one black spool and both have been horrible to work with.First of all they are both significantly more difficult to extrude than other brands I've used. I've adjusted temps and tension behind the stepper motor and a number of other normal tweaks to get it to extrude smoothly with no luck. As soon as I switched back to my other brands (prototype supply, justpla, makerbot, etc) they all extrude fine.This filament is also a lot "harder" than other filaments. It doesn't flex as easily and is more difficult to snip with pliers. Even though the web page says that this filament is "off-grade" due to color only, there is clearly some quality issue with the spools as well that has pretty much made them useless to me.

We've printed many projects with it so far and had no problems at all. For the price, I think it was a great deal. If you are just looking for good affordable material its a no-brainer. If you are concerned about colors you may have to look elsewhere. I ordered five spools and they were all an off-white, kind of peach color but it looks like good quality material and printed well on our makerbot.

What a great way to get random disposable test filament. When I'm trying to get a print right and don't really care about the color, this is a great way to print cheap. It's printing fine and the prints are usable, it's just not a specific color, they're the remnants during color changes. Great idea for avoiding waste and providing cheap filament. More filament shops should do this.
