Review on Small Spool Additive Manufacturing Products - MakerBot Filament Diameter by Enrique Espinoza

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good product, bad packaging.

Makerbot PLA filament is the best I've used on my reprep machine. They come out of the extruder in a very smooth and shiny stream with no air pockets or bright colors (except for True Red which looks like washed out red). However, the products Amazon sent me (December 2014) came in bulk packs (roll only in a ziplock bag), while my local Frys sells these little Makerbot PLAs for the same price but in a sleek black case with a magnetic lid that allows mine Place roll collection like books on a bookshelf, with clear color markings on each box. I have returned them to Revain and will continue to shop locally until Revain provides retail packaging.

Pros
  • 3D printing consumables
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
