Review on Ender PLA Filament 1: Premium 3D Printing Supplies for Additive Manufacturing by Mario Schultz

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works reasonably well with AM products

I have an inexpensive printer ($100) and need more filament. I saw the Ender name on it and thought it might carry some of the reputation of Ender printers, but it has nothing to do with the brand. That being said, I've still had success with this when I've had failures with other similarly priced threads. It adheres fairly well to the plate (about what you would expect from my printer) and the layers stick to each other. The filament appears flat/non-glossy prior to printing and the finished prints appear fairly flat with some sheen. When printing, the layers of filament stick together well and I haven't had any clogs using this filament yet. One thing that bothers me a bit for having a budget printer is the variability in filament size (advertised +/- 0.03mm). Most other threads have a declared variability of +/- 0.02mm. So far my fears have not come true - it's done just as well as the threads +/- 0.02mm. It was vacuum sealed and still usable even though I don't have an "Ender" printer. I would recommend it.
