This is a very good quality

Really good thread to be honest. It actually acts like PLA Plus. Filament drying for an hour and I was ready to go. I printed in purple and now I'm trying blue. Not sure what the difference is, but the blue isn't as shiny and has a different feel. Blue honestly feels better and my first coat is absolutely flawless. Blue is also easier to wind on the spool. You can see in the picture how smooth the blue is. I'm printing with it right now. Tomorrow I will update my review reflecting the quality…

Pros
  • Dimensions: 1kg (2.2lbs) of thread per spool of 1.75mm diameter (dimensional accuracy +/- 0.05mm), Spool has ID = 2-3/8 inches, OD = 8 inches. and is 2.5 inches wide
Cons
  • No automatic

Great product from a great company!

I ordered a steel look metallic gray and it looks great! I entered 205 for the hotend and 50 for the bed, everything works fine. .and how fitting that American Filament included a postcard showing the landing of the SpaceX Falcon Heavy boosters. Not only was I at Cape Canaveral to witness the FH takeoff/landing, the filament I purchased is currently printing segments of the SpaceX Starship Launch Tower model that will complement the numerous Starship replicas I have printed. I was the "Texas…

Pros
  • PLA (polylactic acid) plastic: The most commonly used material for 3D printers due to its ease of use, affordability and favorable mechanical properties. AF filament is made from corn-based resin sourced from American farms.
Cons
  • Expensive

Wound too tightly, will not unwind

So I ordered two spools of this yarn, not that I really needed it but wanted to support the creator of the Lithophane website. This week I decided to use it for two fairly large projects that would take around 24 hours to complete. After I started working on projects, I came back a few hours later to find the print head was hanging an inch or two above my project and the filament was spooling and mostly coming out of the feed mechanism. I had to pull hard to get it off the spool and after…

Pros
  • Packaging: All AF spools are vacuum sealed with a desiccant to protect the filament from moisture.
Cons
  • Big and bulky
