Review on Premium Quality Black HATCHBOX PLA 3D Printer Filament With High Dimensional Accuracy - 1 Kg Spool, 3.00 Mm by Ryan Cross

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Horrible spool, brittle filament (orange)

I have reviewed hatchbox before as 5 stars as it is perfect, but until now I have only ordered black and white. The problem with the orange is that it is spooled onto a different spool than their other filaments.This different spool is approx 2.25 inches in diameter whereas the black and white spools have a diameter of 3 inches. This would probably be ok on their black or white filaments as they are more flexible, but the orange is not. Even right out of the sealed bag with desiccant I noticed that the filament was very brittle.I printed 3 orange rings for bb8 but the last 10% of the spool is unusable due to being tightly wound and breaking. I have one more spool of orange for the rest of my orange rings, after that i will no longer order colors from hatchbox, only black and white. If hatchbox starts using these spools on all of their filament I will stop using them altogether.My experience: I have printed at least 30 rolls of hatchbox filament.
