" ... I used this PLA on my Prusa MK3 and my CR-10s and my prints on both machines were stellar. ... "
" ... The prints so far have just been a couple of small items, but the quality is as good as any other filament I have used so far. ... "
" ... I am printing at 205 °C and am very impressed makes my ender 3 look like an absolute boss blowing other printers out of the water with this filliment. ... Prints overhangs and small details perfectly and as you can see in the image before post processing there is almost no stringing!!! ... "
" ... It is really nice that the diamiter did not fluctuate, which causes an uneven print surface. ... "
" ... Filament are great and super easy to print. ... "
" ... With some gluestick applied to the glass bed and a 3-hour print will be no problem. ... Trying to fine-tune the print temperature (195-210) was on point. ... After proper spool management, an overnight print will be no problem. ... "
" ... Awesome filament nice and cheap and you can get a heckton of prints also a nice pretty red ... "
" ... Really enjoyed using this filament and it worked great however I'm a budget printer so I will catch some again when it goes on sale. ... "

" ... I never had any issues buying plastic. ... "
" ... To my surprise, I found that they had even included a free build plate surface! ... "
" ... I hadn't even noticed that this came with a build plate so that is a very welcome surprise. ... "
" ... this filament is great, well worth the pice, very consistant, i love the resealable bag and the spool has a slot on the side with messurements so you can see how much is left in messurements instead of guessing, it is more consistnat in thickness then advertised and also comes with the sticky 220mmx 220mm sticky build surface ... "
" ... Great first layer adhesion with no warping or lifting. ... Have not used yet but seems high quality and I like the texture to it. ... "
" ... The filament comes of the spool without snags and tangles, and I've had no issues with breakage. ... "

" ... Great adhesion at 210, never a snag/knot in either colors. ... "
" ... I hope that they can keep a consistent quality and price point, maybe add a few more colors. ... "
" ... I am planning on trying out some of their other colors as well, soon, and I have no reason to believe that I will be any less satisfied. ... "
" ... The color of the space gray is almost identical to Prusament Silver. ... So if you love that dark gray color, this us the one for you. ... "

" ... ALSO, the build plate that they include with each roll is amazing, its easy to place on glass and pla/petg/abs all adheres very well. ... "
" ... Adhesion using a standard glue stick on my platform is also perfect. ... "
" ... The adhesive mat also was a bonus that kept me printing when the original wore out. ... "
" ... Love that they send a small adhesive mat w every spool too. ... "
" ... It’s also incredibly durable - I’ve take a hammer to these a few times to move tight parts and it literally holds up. ... "
" ... The filament comes in a resealable bag which is a plus, on top of that the print surface works very well. ... "
" ... I use the smaller plastic card to gap my print bed on my CR10's and it works like a charm. ... "
" ... It's no boutique filament, but for general purpose printing and use, it definitely fits the bill. ... The added build sheet that came with holds up amazingly well, with over 100 PETG prints on one surface and counting without any lifting or tearing issues. ... "

"
" ... I appreciate the re-sealable bag and the little plastic card included in each box. ... "
" ... The box it comes in is one of the clam-shell types. ... Like I said, I like the carboard box type: I reuse them for parts and roll storage. ... "

" ... At half the spool It wouldn't stick using glue stick or hair spray. ... "
" ... You have to keep this filament very dry or the prints have a rough surface to them ... "
" ... If you print slow and hot, and you don’t have a tangled roll, it’s probably worth $15 for a plain black PLA, but why not just spend the extra $5-10 on a better filament and get better results in every category? ... "
