" ... Printed very good for me. ... "
" ... had nothing but success with this Hatchbox PLA, prints come out perfect! ... "
" ... my point being: This product is consistent, and a good benchmark when trying to calibrate a printing instrument around it, because quite simply the math is reliable when you have good filament, I've come to learn. ... "
" ... this works great on the 3D printer. ... "
" ... It's my go-to for any quick prototypes (or final prints). ... Smooth, even prints. ... "
" ... This PLA has excellent and consistent diameter and quality and provides for error free prints. ... "
" ... Makes printing large objects a breeze. ... "

" ... Not the best, BUT really good for the money. ... "
" ... But Hatchbox is VERY MUCH WORTH THE EXTRA COST. ... "
" ... Pay a little more for this one it is worth it. ... "
" ... Great product and price. ... "
" ... Worth the extra money. ... "
" ... I'd hope for some cost reduction at some point since other brands with simular quality are less expensive. ... "
" ... Great pla for the price. ... "
" ... The few extra bucks for better filament is worth it. ... "

" ... Halfway through the spool I had a print fail. ... "
" ... Every time - within 30g of PLA, I get a clog. ... "
" ... I had heard hatchbox was the best filament out there, boy were those people wrong. ... Reinserted my other filament and it worked just fine so it's not the machine. ... "
" ... Before hatchbox was my go to filament, now that I am ordering, me and everybody I know am experiencing problems. ... "
" ... The black worked perfectly the whole time, but the white was a knotted the entire way through. ... "
" ... WARNING: this filament tolerance is +/-0.05 and you should be aware of this before purchasing! ... "
" ... Constant clogs and extrusion issues. ... "
" ... I don't know what happened, but this new hatchbox filament is junk. ... "

" ... This PLA seems brittle also. ... "
" ... 3) Hatchbox is noticably more stiff/brittle than my prior experience with eSun PLA+ Cool White and the 3d Solutech White. ... This is only a problem for items I need to press fit together, which may crack or break. ... "
" ... This filament breaks easy, white PLA 1.75mm ... "
" ... This is blobby, stringy, oozy, has poor layer adhesion, and is just hard to work with. ... "
" ... I've seen this sort of thing at work when we switched manufacturers for plastic extruded sheets from the US to China. ... The plastic extrusions from the Chinese manufacturer would have granules of dirt very similar to what I found in this filament. ... "
" ... The plastic itself seems to flow and stick fine, however the lack of QA and outright lies about the dimensional accuracy makes this filament a no go. ... "
" ... so brittle ( try to push or move it, it cracks immediately, unless you have a big infill) . ... "
" ... I hope I just got a bad roll because I’ve adjust my extruder and taken it off to make sure it’s all tightened twice but it still doesn’t like to feed this filament. ... "

" ... When I expect it and it's gray color ... "
" ... I've used almost a dozen Hatchbox PLA White and Blue with no issues with the PLA itself. ... "
" ... The stuff printed fine and looked great, and the color (I bought white) was really good. ... "
" ... 2) Hatchbox has a cooler/whiter color which is preferable to me. ... I was true true white. ... Even against a black surface, you can see the 3d Solutech white filament is slightly warmer. ... "
" ... Also a nice color with a slight shimmer ... "
" ... Also the true white is one of my favorite white colors, great for figures and statues. ... "
" ... Really pretty white color I like the stuffs I printed out. ... "
" ... It has a great white color not like some others that are not real white. ... "

" ... Very good print quality, no air bubbles, no jams and vacuum sealed, I've tried 2 other kinds and did not have a great experience with them like I've had with hatchbox. ... "
" ... The supports break off clean without leaving many pieces behind. ... "
" ... Very good for the price point and never once had a clog on my .4 nozzle. ... "
" ... Their quality is excellent - I've never had issues with impurities clogging up my extruder, and their variety and prices are terrific. ... "
" ... It arrived in a vacuumed clean bag, works great in my mini 3d printer, i don't have a heated plate and adhesion has been an issue, to remedy the issue i have been using glue sticks, other than the adhesion problem i give this product a 10/10 ... "

" ... Could not fit the roll. ... "
" ... Constant clogs and extrusion issues. ... "
" ... The diameter of this filament does not fit my FlashForge Finder's cartridge. ... "
" ... Anytime I used it, I had to spool off and weigh to ensure I would not hit a break mid print. ... "
" ... Do not buy this to use with a flashforge finder, will not fit in back loading tray ... "
" ... Is it that hard to wrap the spool such that the current line feed isn't buried under 3 layers of line to come later? ... "
" ... The PLA kept clogging at the hot end, curled when it came out and did not adhere to the bed. ... "
