Review on HATCHBOX 1.75Mm Iron Red PLA 3D Filament - 1 KG Spool With Highly Accurate Dimensions Of +/- 0.03 Mm, Ideal For 3D Printing by Jeff Westra

So far I LOVE this filament and will probably be being more from this brand. I am completely new to 3D printing and aside from the tiny spool that came with the Ender 3 I bought a few spools from Hatchbox based on the reviews and reputation. So far they do live up to the hype! Watched several videos on YouTube from CHEP in particular and Teaching Teach about printer assembly, calibration and profile configuration. After getting everything dialed in I am very happy with the results, ( wisps of stringing was my fault, damaged the nozzle so it will be replaced shortly. No stringing at all before that). The cat was printed with all stock parts, no upgrades or mods.I would highly recommend this filament to anyone new to 3D printing to minimize headaches associated with figuring out possible root causes.Did not have any problems with the filament sticking to the bed, warping or shrinking. When it did, it was because something was not properly set on the printer by me. The blue from the pic does not do it justice. It's actually a few shades darker. Material feels pretty sturdy but since PLA is not meant for long-term durability I will probably cover the parts with a clear acrylic since moisture is still the #1 enemy of PLA.With PLA though remember to keep it in an airtight container, particularly with a dissecant to keep moisture as low as possible. If you hear hissing or popping while printing this means the filament has absorbed moisture and while this can be fixed by drying in an oven but it's best to try to prevent this if you can.I highly recommend using this filament to anyone who is just getting into 3D printing. Like anything you are new at or have never used, make sure you do your research and do proper troubleshooting before blaming the product.
