Review on Hatchbox Brown PLA Filament For Precise 3D Printing - 1KG Spool With +/- 0.03Mm Accuracy by Montrell Copeland

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Overall satisfied: my feedback

In full disclosure I've only used my first printer for about a week and have had more initial successes with the premium PLA.I originally had some major issues with this filament as it would not adhere to the bed very well and prints would come up with . I didn't have this problem with another premium filament I was using. I also was hearing a crackling sound when the filament was extruded, which I have read is related to moisture in the filament. I dried the filament for 12 hours and decreased the Z axis some and was able to get some successful prints.It appears that premium PLA can sometimes adhere even when the the Z axis still needs to be dialed in a little more. I wouldn't necessarily recommend this filament for someone who just finished assembling their printer, but this could be a decent casual filament to use once everything is set up correctly.

Pros
  • This filament has a high strength-to-weight ratio, making it a great choice for applications requiring both durability and lightweight properties
Cons
  • May not be suitable for multi-color printing
