Typically I would just buy whatever brand had the cheapest white color PLA (I like to paint my print) and quality wasn’t always top of mind. Now I have several prints that I want to do in all kids of different colors and quality matters. Given the new color and quality requirements, it no longer makes sense to get the cheapest.
What brand is of good to excellent quality that also offers a decent range of colors?
I mostly run my prints through Ender 3 Pros
Edit: Thank you for everyone’s suggestions! Certain brands are being recommended often so I’m going to start experimenting with those! Keep being awesome!
I’ve really like the Overture PLA Plus that I’ve used so far. Makes nice prints with fine details. Threads on a support stand screw came out much better I expected. Using an Ender 3 S1 Pro with the 0.4mm tip. Just got a roll of Polymaker PLA Pro in the mail today actually, hoping I have time to try it this weekend. Expecting good things from it.
Wooahh this is next level!
Inland is good.
Ive not actually had a truely bad roll of PLA but I also don’t bargin hunt on Amazon.
Everything has printed good for me except iboss brand
Jesse PLA from Printed Solid is my go to. Great range of colors for $21/kg and it prints like it’s $30/kg filament.
And it’s named after their dog.
Jesse FTW. It’s so consistently good. I’m through about 15kg so far without a single hiccup.
Yeah, I’ve had no complaints. I subscribed to their filament of the month club for a while, but it was 2kg every month and I soon ran out of storage space.
