Review on πŸ–¨οΈ AmazonBasics 1.75mm White Printer Filament by Leo Fairchild

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not terrible, but not great either

Update May 20, 2020: Just gave this one 4 stars (was 3). Why? Because despite what I say below, and since I set it up properly, I haven't had any issues with this thread for the past two days. Absolutely no adhesion issues, no clogging, no warping, no retraction issues. Nothing. And I've written a lot. small things, big things, simple, complex. They call it. If I didn't have the initial issues I would definitely give 5 stars. Don't be afraid of this filament, just don't expect perfection right out of the box. It had serious adhesion issues unlike anything I've seen. It took me a little time and floss to adjust the nozzle temp, layer temp and speed to get a decent print. It was possible, but I don't think anyone should expect it to always be 100% out of the box. It was well packaged, sealed and had a desiccant so it was nice. neither are all ships incandescent. In summary, we can say that this is not a bad PLA, but it is not the best either. If that wasn't all I could get I probably would have given up based on some reviews almost identical to my experience.

Pros
  • 3D printing filament
Cons
  • Only available in black
