Review on HATCHBOX 1.75 Mm Mint PLA 3D Printer Filament, Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.03Mm, 1 Kg Spool by John Carter

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Pretty but not strong

I have used this filment on a bunch of different projects. It goes down decent, but it has poor overall strength. If you want pretty it is great, good shine and a pretty light blue color, but it cannot be used for parts that you need to have good shear strength.I think the strength issue is from the composition of "silk" products from Hatchbox. Other "silk" filaments I ordered have the same strength issues.Overall I am a hatchbox fan, but you need to know what to expect in this case.

Pros
  • Environmentally friendly and biodegradable for eco-conscious 3D printing
Cons
  • May require additional cooling to avoid warping
