When listening to Angus on his Maker’s Muse channel, he gets the question of what PLA filament is best, quite often. These have held up great to the abuse, and look good. At this temperature, I have printed nearly an entire roll of blue and black, primarily fidget spinners for my daughter to sell at school. I printed a temp tower for both and found that the filament worked best a little hot at 211 degrees. My initial purchase was 2 black and 1 blue roll. I found the filament to be a bit small (1.74mm instead of 1.75) but it was consistent so it was easy to set in my slicer. It is not terribly expensive yet has high quality. I’d consider Hatchbox to be the “best” balance between price and quality. The main reason I created this post was to talk about price and performance of PLA filament. I can’t comment between PETG and PLA, but my Esun looks beautiful, and prints seem sturdy.
Xperland filament seems to print very close to the quality of Hatchbox, while Zyltech is a bit below. My other favorite, for flat out feel and nice printing, is Xperland. Zyltech is now on Amazon, as well with a whole slew of new colors. Of the three brands I have used, Zyltech is one of my favorite because of the price point. Hatchbox (This seems like the go-to filament for most), Esun (My roll of PETG) AMZ3D, and Zyltech on eBay (inexpensive). I’ve been printing for a number of months, so have had limited exposure to filaments. Does good quality PLA filament have to break the bank – Or, what is a good, cheap 3D filament?
