Review on Geeetech PLA 3D Printer Filament by Larry Gaines

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Prints well but often breaks

I ordered this because it was one of the few PLA materials left in stock. It is a good color from light to medium grey. Since I've had breakage issues, it's only really useful for prototyping and small print. It prints well and is fairly forgiving. But it's no better than other comparable brands, even apart from the breakage. I'm running this on an Ender 3 Pro with a filament guide to reduce the extruder entry angle. This filament continues to break just before it enters the extruder. I also noticed that it doesn't unwind as well as other threads when unwinding. I'm not sure if these two issues are related, but two errors occurred when the machine wasn't powered on. The first breakage happened less than an hour after I opened the plastic spool, so I'm not sure if it's an environmental issue, just a bad spool or poor quality line.

Pros
  • 1kg spool
Cons
  • High price
