Review on πŸ”₯ High-Quality 1KG3 HATCHBOX 3D PLA Filament: Premium Printing Material for Stunning 3D Creations by Aaron Urena

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great Filament Stupid Size

This is a great filament and compares well to the much more expensive Pro PLA I've used. Tired of spending twice as much on MatterHackers, I decided to give the role a try. I wasn't disappointed with the results. I just use the generic PLA preset on my Ultimaker 3 with the original Bowden tube and just change it from 2.85mm to 3.00mm. I didn't even slow down my typing speed. It just works. My bowden hoses are about 2 years old so I suspect they are a bit larger inside due to wear but I have had no problems. But why doesn't HatchBox just adapt and do this 2.85mm stuff like everyone else in the world? That would have saved the buying worries (and many bad reviews). I have to profile each color I print in Cura to represent exactly how it will look as I can't use my generic PLA profiles which use 2.85mm filament. I'll try eSun's thread next time just because of HatchBox's almost stupid refusal to make a 2.85mm version.
