Review on Premium PLA 3D Printer Filament 1: Ultimate Print Performance and Precision by Rodney Mendoza

Well my 7 year old daughter thinks this should have 10 stars. :D If 4.5 was an option I would personally give it 4.5 - more on that later. First the thread is packed very nicely in a vacuum bag with 2 packets of desiccant. The packaging doesn't close, but I think that's normal with PLA. The spool is strong and well wound - I'm not afraid of snagging on the spool unlike some other low quality filament I've bought. I really wish it had a side sticker with the gram/meter legend. The diameter seems consistent - my measurements are around 1.71-1.73, I had no problem feeding it even with my very terrible extruder. It prints well, with little to no tension. Also, each color appears to be printed with the same settings as the other colors. I've been printing at 210C, mostly with the standard CR10 settings. For the three sage skulls in the photo, I printed all parts at a speed of 70mm/s and a layer height of 0.2mm. Even at such a relatively high speed, the pressure was quite decent. So why not an unqualified 5 stars? I find the color changes too slow. Even in this relatively large font, there are only three colors. I understand that this is a difficult balance for manufacturers - too fast a color change and large prints have too many ribbons, too slow and small prints are mono. However, this thread is too slow in my opinion. You may have more options with different color change rates, so you can customize the color change to suit the project. Anyway, my seven year old now wants everything to be in the rainbow! And my teens seem to love it too! I hope to try something from Sunlu Silk Rainbow.
