Review on PLA1 75mm Biodegradable Consumables: Tangle-Free and Dimensionally Efficient by Tony Weber

Revainrating 3 out of 5

BRIGHT! And just a rainbow on a HUGE print that takes up an entire roll!

First off, this filament glows! I was thrilled to find that this filament actually glowed when placed under an ultraviolet black light. I used it to print a UFO for my Halloween demo so this piece was perfect. The real disappointment was how this spool of filament was designed. There are so many of each color on a roll that you will never see multiple colors in one print project. I would literally have to print with the entire roll to see the entire rainbow. There was a serious lack of intelligence behind the design of this reel. I think they were more interested in the overall aesthetics of the roll than its actual functionality when printed. I printed quite a large project (UFO) and it's all orange (I painted over small details with green glowing paint). There is so much orange thread in this roll! For some reason they made it so that there were more outside colors than inside colors... I think they were just trying to make the reel itself look good and didn't even think about how it would be printed. I could also just use a tight spool of orange thread for this project and it would come out exactly the same. If you want to create a rainbow print, this is NOT the answer! Very disappointing in that regard. The shine, on the other hand, is pretty decent.

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