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

This is by far the worst PLA I've used. I thought I had a broken printer until I switched filament. When you can get this stuff to actually print it comes out looking strange. Pronounced layer lines with bad adhesion. Any corners or points won't stick and cause the part to warp. I've tried printing from 190-220°c. Too cool and you have under extrusion and clogging. A few degrees higher and you developer a bulge in the nozzle and clogging. Even loading the filament was a pain as the extruder gears have to be tensioned just right to grab the filament. Avoid this PLA.

I have been trying to find an alternative to white PLA from Hatchbox. I tried several and found this to be the best, but it took some tinkering. I have two Ender 3 Pros and a CR-10. In Cura, I printed at 200-degrees to a bed of 55-degrees and at 65. I printed mostly Dungeons and Dragons terrain and tiles. I was able to print at 65 mm/s and was still able to crank up the speed on the printers to 140% and still had consistent results at Standard Quality. Initially, I had issues with under extrusion and adhesion. My glass bed has a glue-stick rubbed onto it too. I've been happy with the filament.

Initially I hated this filament, but after working with it more I'm going to keep it on hand for certain applications. At the time of this review, I've gone through an entire 3-pack. Firstly, I'll say is that the packaging definitely needs improvement. Out of 3 rolls, the shrink wrap on 2 had multiple holes worn through from rubbing together in the box, and the last looked like it could have had a bit more air removed. That said, I had no moisture issues with any of the rolls. Secondly, another reviewer mentioned this is great if you're not using supports; I absolutely agree. This is a much harder filament than any other I've worked with and it has much less give to it, so supports will be a pain to remove.... if you don't outright break your print in the process of removing them. Because of this, this is a terrible filament for miniatures (my main use for the printer, and why I initially hated it). Once I realized this and only used this for supportless models such as larger terrain pieces, stands, sculptures, and various printer upgrades, I've been incredibly pleased with the results. Lastly, (on a bit of a technical note), I've run this though several calibration tests and found that it works great at a wide range of temps (190 to 240) and printing speeds (up to 75mm/sec). I've never experienced any clogs or jams when using a 0.4mm nozzle, but it clogged my 0.3mm nozzles very quickly.

Anyone complaining about filament not sticking, stringing, etc. needs to have some patience and fiddle with their temperature settings until it works out. Once you figure it out for a given filament (of any brand or even sometimes batch), it will work. Make sure your Z axis compensation is also spot on as perfect temperatures with a bad Z axis compensation value will result in your first layer never sticking. I have been able to get all of the filaments I have tested in the pack so far to stick without issue (sometimes too well, but better than the alternative) and without any stringing. Since not all printers a 100% the same, you may need to tweak the settings below a hair to get optimal performance. If you hear a clicking sound from your extruder (that is it not able to push the filament through the nozzle because it is not soft enough), try bumping up the nozzle temperature 1-5 degrees until it goes away. The secret to no stringing is to set this as low as possible to where your extruder is silent. This is true at least on a CR-10S Pro V2, not sure if this applies to others as this is the only printer I have :) These are the settings I have found work for my setup: - Creality CR-10S Pro v2 (firmware version 1.70.1) - Cura 4.6.0 - Z Comp: 2.30 (configured via the LCD when starting a print and during leveling) - Cura - Cura PLA defaults except for the changes listed below for the colors - Cura printer defaults (Creality CR10S Pro since there is no V2) at "Staqndard Quality - 0.2 mm" (turning on supports as needed) - Regular colors (i.e. Brown) - Nozzle Temp: 205 C - Bed Temp: 60 C - Neon colors (i.e. Neon Orange) - Nozzle Temp: 210 C - Bed Temp: 65 C - NOTE: The neon colors look a little dark while being printed and don't go back to their original neon color until after they cool. I haven't gotten to the glow or the 2 translucent ones yet, but I will update my review once I get to them with temperatures I found to work well.

First roll was amazing I made many prints I was proud of. They looked professional. Second roll I can't make a single print to the end. I have even reloaded file I previously printed and they are horrible. the material strings and is brittle. I measured the diameter and it is all over the place. I can't speak for the first roll because it was great so I didn't measure. During the first roll I was so impressed I ordered a spool of black. I measured it as well and it is all over the place. from .17 to .18 within an inch. NOT IMPRESSED. Of course this all happened towards the end of a long print. Very unhappy. I feel roll 2 cost me money. Roll 1 was awesome so good luck. Update... 2-1-2021 I have learned alot. I have inspected the rolls more carefully when I receive them. Amazon Basics has actually became my favorite GO TO filament. They have arrived pretty darn consistent. The others must have been a fluke. I print on an Anet ET4 with a temp of 210C and Bed 55C and WOW. I know longer worry about the filament. I have uprated my stars. Go FOR IT!!!

Ho acquistato questo filamento multicolore, che si è rivelato molto pratico. Adatto, oltre alle penne 3d, anche per le stampanti. I rotoli sono confezionati uno per uno, hanno un peso di 50 grammi ciascuno, per una lunghezza stimata di circa 17 metri. Buona la qualità. Io ho stampato ad una temperatura di 220°C, 60° per il piano di stampa e non ho riscontrato alcun problema. L'unica pecca è che, non essendo avvolto intorno ad una bobina, il filamento tende a srotolarsi in maniera non uniforme. Bisogna stare vicini e controllare ogni tanto se scorre senza problemi, senza incepparsi. Ovviamente si possono creare stampe di oggetti di piccole dimensioni, data la scarsa lunghezza del filamento. Complessivamente credo di aver fatto un buon acquisto, perché ho potuto usare svariati colori senza per forza comprare una bobina da 1 kg per ogni colore.

C'è stata un'offerta molto molto conveniente di queste confezioni da 3kg di PLA Amazon basic e non ho potuto non approfittarne. Ovviamente i colori disponibili in questa promozione erano solo il bianco ed il nero, ma per chi stampa oggetti da verniciare o strutturali (di cui il colore importa poco) vanno benissimo. Arrivano in una scatola in cui sono impilate le 3 bobine, non singolarmente come le altre, però singolarmente imbustate sottovuoto e separate da cartoncini, con tanto di libricino di istruzioni (inutile visto che chi stampa non ha bisogno di avvertimenti che certe parti della stampante si scaldano molto). La convenienza, va precisato, è relativa al quantitativo di kg acquistati, infatti certi produttori sui propri siti vendono a prezzi anche piuttosto bassi se si prendono 10 o più bobine, ma su Amazon per soli 3 kg, è uno dei prezzi più bassi mai visti (nella promozione in cui li ho presi). Il filamento è buono, la dimensione è corretta, la qualità in linea con gli altri PLA che si possono trovare dei marchi più diffusi, il colore è un bianco neutro. Stampato con una Bambulab X1C non ha dato alcun problema sia di adesione che di flusso, quindi ottimo a mio avviso. Il vero problema per chi, come me, possiede un AMS (un sistema multibobina automatico per stampe a più colori) è la larghezza delle bobine, maggiore delle altre di marchi diffusi e purtroppo impossibile da inserire all'interno! E' un vero problema? si se si possiede una Bambulab X/P con AMS e si intende stampare un oggetto a più colori con queste bobine, no per chiunque altro la utilizzi in una stampante. E per la cronaca la si può utilizzare anche con le Bambulab, semplicemente utilizzandola senza AMS, come ho fatto io. Nel caso ho fatto la foto dello spessore così da essere utilie a chi volesse acquistarle ed avesse problemi di dimensioni massime. Pro: - molto conveniente l'offerta per 3kg di PLA - qualità del filamento Contro: - non adatte ad AMS In definitiva non posso non consigliare il pacchetto in promozione, perchè è veramente conveniente, anche se non c'è molta scelta di colori. Il filamento è buono, non mi ha dato particolari problemi e anche se fosse (come successo con un filamento specifico di un produttore difettoso) il servizio clienti non avrebbe problemi a risolverli.

Also ich bin von der Qualität und der Druckergebnisse dieses Filaments begeistert. Ließ sich ohne viel Aufwand direkt prima drucken, beim Mk3s habe ich es auf 210grad gedruckt und hatte prima Ergebnisse, es ist etwas dünnflüssiger als andere Filamente. Meine letzte Rolle war leider nur nicht wie gewohnt perfekt vakuumiert, aber bei PLA bin ich da eigentlich auch nicht so hinterher. Qualität stimmte! Werd es weiter benutzen:) und der Preis ist schließlich auch Bombe

Schöne Auswahl an Farben (jeweils 50g). Leichte Probleme mit Betthaftung bei einem Modell mit 70 Grad Betttemperatur für die erste Lage gelöst. Verpackungen scheinen nicht luftdicht zu sein, also sicherheitshalber vor Gebrauch getrocknet. Danach sehr gutes Druckergebnis.

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
