Review on HATCHBOX 1.75 Mm Mint PLA 3D Printer Filament, Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.03Mm, 1 Kg Spool by Eric Krull

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Gorgeous filament, very difficult to print with

This filament is very difficult to work with. I have used a LOT of Hatchbox PLA and will generally use it above other colors. It generally produces fantastic results. I can't get this filament to print smoothly though, in spite of that. And I really want to use it, because it is so gorgeous. The filament sent to me seems to be 'softer' or more pliable than other PLA filaments. I sure wish I had a better name for that. Because of the pliability, my spool has trouble with overhangs all the way from 225C to 180C, and corners are difficult. I also had to increase the Z layer by about 0.02 mm from other PLA filaments. I cannot recommend this filament for use, but would be amazing to look at if I can figure out the right settings.
