Review on ๐Ÿ–จ๏ธ AmazonBasics 1.75mm Printer Filament Spools - High-Quality Additive Manufacturing Products by Andy Edwards

Revainrating 1 out of 5

You get what you pay for.

I tried this thread because it was available during the pandemic. I usually buy Hatchbox or Overture thread. The differences in quality between the brands are enormous. One of my first attempts with this filament resulted in my nozzle becoming clogged and the Bowden tube becoming so filled with hardened plastic that I had to replace it. I strongly do not recommend this thread. I would take the best brands. I also got very frustrated trying to get it to stick to my bed. I switched to Overture and all problems stopped immediately. I now have 2 full spools and one almost full spool which most likely will not be used as I don't want to damage my printer. Another problem is the packaging. Unlike the Hatchbox and Overture which come in a very nice thick plastic bag, this one comes in a very thin bag with a hole in it. Maybe the filament is soaked with moisture and this is causing extrusion issues, but I'm hesitant to try this filament again even if I have the motivation to dehydrate it.
