I have used different brands of filament over the years. I print parts for production plants. I need to print two sets of parts for two machines. Each set contains 20 pieces. Each piece has an aluminum bar in the center for strength. Some pieces have side screws for attaching bars. I had enough thread of the usual brand for just one set. So I thought I would buy a Hatchbox PLA coil. So it's really a parallel comparison of two threads. The two filaments have the same characteristics in terms of feed rate, nozzle temperature and platen temperature. This first set of prints was printed very well by (let's just call it Brand X). The second print from the hatchbox came out just as well. I also had no problems with the thread running through the machine. I noticed a few things when assembling it, putting in the bars and screws. A hatchbox imprint seemed more accurate on the stock hole. It was like that with all 20 pieces of the set. I usually use a plastic bit to clean out the holes. I had very little cleaning with the Hatchbox filament compared to the "Brand X" filament. When inserting rods into parts, some parts started delaminating with the hatchbox. The print layers have started to separate a bit. This became more apparent as I began to insert the screws. I haven't had any problems with any of the "Mark X" parts. Hatchbox filament is good for simple prints and maybe prototyping, but I will use a different filament for its strength and performance.
