Review on HATCHBOX Silver Performance PLA 3D Printer Filament - Dimensional Accuracy+/- 0.03 Mm For Superior Printing Results by Philip Wagner

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Know before you buy

The good: this is actually a very nice product, prints very well (see cons below) and the prints look stellar when they are done. I bought mine by accident (was looking for green Hatchbox pla and didn't notice the extra "P" in front of the name). One thing to note, Hatchbox green PPLA is a significantly darker shade than standard Hatchbox green PLA. I decided to keep it anyway, because the standard stuff is currently out of stock. In any case, very nice stuff. Also note that, at least for the green color I got, it's a much flatter finish (i.e. not reflective) compared to the standard PLA filament.Cons: if you've been printing with regular Hatchbox PLA, don't drop this in and assume all is well. I spent a few days (yes, days) tweaking things before I found settings that work best for me. The most significant thing I found is that I need to run it about 5 degrees higher nozzle temp (215 rather than my normal 210). Once I got it all dialed in, it's smooth sailing.5/5 would buy again.
