Relatively clean printing at a reasonable price

Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2017

Verified Purchase

As others have stated, this filament works nicely. I assumed that all PLA filaments were likely the same, and I have quickly learned that is not the case. This filament printed relatively smooth (based on the resolutions I chose), adhered to the printer nicely, and didn't produce a lot of unwanted strings. Overall, it performed great considering the price.

As others have reported, I also have not had this filament kink or do crazy things when unwinding into the printer. The same is not true for one of the other brands I tried. So far, this is the better of the filaments for under $20/kg that I've used that I've bought off of Amazon.

Terrific and dependable utility filament.

Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2019

Verified Purchase

I print a huge amount of functional parts either for prototyping or permanent use and this is my go-to for these items. As others have commented it’s not necessarily the most ideal finish for “pretty” parts but I have zero issues with bed adhesion or feed. It’s a sturdy utility filament that I rely on for work and play and it’s very reasonably priced.

Some compare it to Hatchbox which haven’t had the best of results with - so I’d rate it better at a lower price. I use a premium aftermarket surface (Buildtak with their magnetic plate) and always print to a heated bed even though it’s PLA, so that might be why I don’t have adhesion issues but I’m very happy with it.

My only complaint is that I can’t get it as a subscription item on Amazon. I’d set it up with a subscription if the option was available. Hopefully amz3d will make that an option.

Spool hole too small and the spool is too narrow. PLA is great!

Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2017

Verified Purchase

Spool size sucks. PLA is great. I didn't take the reviews seriously enough about the spool.
Spool size issues:
-The hole is too small for my Printrbot spool holding arm.
And
-The spool is too narrow for the table top adjustable spool stand. (the kind with the bearings to ride on with the two piece base that slides open and closed to fit every*1 spool type) *1- except this one

Luckily, I didn't have to rig up a stand. I happened to have a desiccant/dry spool box for this PolyCarbonate filament I never use. It fits in there and I just run the filament over the spool holding arm on the machine.
Thank goodness Hatchbox black is back in stock. -Joe

Good quality at fair price

Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2021

Verified Purchase

Print quality was consistent during all my prints. Price was reasonable. Just got some blue and white well see if it's true for all the colors.

*UPDATE* - Ive been using a few other brands (Hatchbox and CC3D) in comparison and Im still socked at how well this filament was. This was my first filament purchase. It has done the best as far as consistent prints at a decent price. This AMZ3D has become my go too brand for reliable filament thats been the most consistent to work with. Highly recommend

This is excellent filament!

Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2017

Verified Purchase

Excellent product. I measured the spool at random points before each print, and found that mine was within +/- 0.2mm every single time. Never had a variance above that.

Aside from that, my high resolution prints are great with this filament. Parts are strong, visually appealing, and are functioning well. Here's the kicker, some of my prints with this filament were printed with less than ideal circumstances (acceleration and jerk were a bit off, and my frame was wobbly because I used this filament to print a z-brace), and it still performed well.

I don't get to say this a lot, but this filament is fantastic. Just an excellent quality product where they aren't price gouging.

I've attached a 3D Printer Unboxing video that uses this filament near the end to print an Egyptian figurine. You can see that this filament is BRIGHT, and smooth giving you a great looking Prints that you will be proud to show off!
I have purchased dozens of different branded filaments over the last couple of years but currently, I'm sticking with this company for my basic colors because of quickness and quality!

After just a few prints with it I was amazed by how consistently well it prints for me

Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2018

Verified Purchase

This was cheap enough that I got it as a roll for throwaway/experimental parts. After just a few prints with it I was amazed by how consistently well it prints for me. This has quickly become a roll I use for final pieces that I want to keep around rather than throwaways as a result. Definitely recommend giving it a try.

Spool is very tangled

Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2018

Verified Purchase

The spool I received is very tangled. Every time I tried to print something on it it would snag on itself and get stuck within a couple hours, and the extuder wouldn't be able to extrude. The filament itself seems like a good quality, but unless you want to babysit your print, untangling it every 30 minutes or risk your print failing and your extruder gear wearing down, I'd go with a different brand.

Très bon qualité

Rien à dire excellent qualité, le seul problème qu'elle bouche la buses d'impression, j'ai du couper un bout dans le tube du filament. Autrement l'impression donne un résultat remarquable bien lisse brillant, qu'il faut la bien réglée dans Cura, surtout l'estendeur et la température.
