Review on Inland Printer Filament Eco-friendly Refill Solution by Tim Hodzic

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Inconsistent thickness will result in unsuccessful prints.

I've been using eSun PLA Pro for about a year, but the refill prices keep going up. It looked like an opportunity to get a similar product and save a few bucks a roll. The spare coil was only in a single pouch (the eSun was in a double pouch) and the coil winding was noticeably weaker than the eSun. Performance is the same as eSun filament, no adjustments were needed to get good prints. Unfortunately, I used half of the first spool and had three print failures due to bulging in the filament. It is believed that this thread has a diameter of 1.75 mm, but the dimensions of the bulges exceed 2.25 mm. These bumps are so large that they get stuck in my filament detector sensor, causing the filament not to feed and causing print errors. I am throwing away the rest of the spool and will not be ordering these again. Saving two or three bucks isn't worth the time spent due to coil mismatch.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • New competitors are here
