Review on Enhanced PLA 1KG Printer Filament with Enhanced Dimensional Accuracy by Chris Pettway

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great filament, prints great

This filament prints way better than I expected. It has a glossy, almost silky outer texture that shows off fine details very well. However, this "shine" overshadows any embossed text, as you can see in my temporary tower image. This white PLA is marked as natural on the roll. It's certainly not "natural" in the sense that it's not clear. It could be mislabeling, it honestly doesn't matter. The glossy white material is opaque enough to see the light clearly through the printed object. It would be great for lithophane printing. My detailed test prints included overhangs of up to 70 degrees with no support, and this thread did an excellent job of capturing all of that detail. I printed this entire 1kg spool on a direct drive printer with a hot end at 220 degrees and a heated bed at 50 degrees. For the price of this thread, this is a direct competitor that will become my new favorite. I look forward to testing the proposed black PLA. I will 100% buy more of these.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • New competition has arrived
