PLA Pro (Plus) Filament 1.75mm, 3D Printer Filament PLA+, Cardboard Spool 3D Printing Filament, Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.03 mm, Grey, 1kg

I’ve bought dozens of rolls of 3DHoJor Matte PLA, and it’s my go-to filament for nearly every project. The matte finish gives my prints a nice, smooth look without that glossy shine, which I really like for certain models. The filament feeds consistently with almost no jams or stringing on my printers, and the cardboard spool is a nice eco-friendly upgrade that’s sturdy and easy to handle. I appreciate that it works well with most printers without needing much tweaking. Overall, great quality at a good price — definitely a staple in my 3D printing arsenal.

Usually I tend to be a little leery of lowest priced products, whatever they might be, but recently I was feeling bold so I bought a couple rolls of the 3dhojor PETG, thinking what the heck, if it doesn't pan out at least I'm not in too deep.Imagine my surprise to find out that this filament prints cleaner, faster, smoother and more consistently than other brands at double the cost! I compared it directly the other day with Elegoo 'rapid print' PETG, printing the same file on the same machine in each filament, and had no trouble at all with the 3dhojor, I loaded it, entered the factory recommended settings, hit print and it produced a flawless model with no re-dos or fussing about with the settings. No stringing, good layer adhesion, no blobs, smooth surfaces, no warping/lifting, awesome first layers.I took the same approach with the Elegoo filament and had to stop/adjust settings/re-start the print 4 times before I achieved an acceptable first layer, and then again when some strange bubbling occured in the fourth layer. Then I had to try to adjust the settings some more to eliminate a rough final layer surface, which was only partly successful.That is the kind of thing that winds up wasting filament, time and money, and so I am now wary of Elegoo filament. But as far as the 3dhojor PETG is concerned, it is now my go-to choice for any PETG project, and I highly recommend it, especially for beginners or non-fiddly inclined makers, as it checks all the boxes.Side note; I have become so weary of constantly having to deal with wet filament! It leaves the factory at 15% and after sitting around in a warehouse, traveling across the ocean and then flying back to Hawaii, it's at 45%!I dry it, put it in a bag, it sits around for a couple weeks, then when I take it out, it's wet! So again I have to dry it before I can use it, which is a pain in the behind; I've tried the bags that you evacuate too, and after a few days they lose their vacuum, and the filament gets wet. I've tried dessicants inside the bags. They just get wet too.( I live in Hawaii, the humidity is brutal year-round ) So finally I said, this has to stop, and designed some simple containers ( PETG ) with a TPU seal and stretchy-clamp dogs to hold the lids down tight against the seal, plus a little plexi window glued in so I can see what's inside. They keep the moisture out! Finally!! About $10 to make one, and I consider it a good investment.

I wasn't sure what to expect from an inexpensive filament, but printing with it on a Bambu Labs A1 using generic settings for PLA yielded excellent results. There was no stringing, it adhered well to the stock build plate, and the prints came out very smooth and clean. The printed parts have been reasonably durable, comparable in quality to more expensive PLA I've used previously. The price is reasonable, and the color matched my expectations. Highly recommend this filament.

ETA: I wrote the below review, really disappointed with this filament. For unrelated reasons, I purchased a filament dryer, and put this filament in the dryer for a day or two. Properly dried, this filament has a fantastic matte finish. If you want to paint your finished prints, this filament is easy to post-process and has an almost ceramic finish. Since leaving my initial review (leaving it intact so you can see my experience), I've purchased 1-2 additional rolls of this filament. Again, it works best when properly dried, but if you have a dryer - this is one of the best filaments you'll find. Image is of the temperature tower I printed.I bought this filament after using a Matte White PLA from a few other brands, thinking that I'd at least give it a try regardless of the price point or other reviews from users.I ran a temperature tower and saw that the best temperatures for printing were 200 or 210 (noticeable stringing at 205) with a bed temp of 60. I'm using a magnetic PEI bed that came standard with my V2 Neo printer.The temp tower printed fine. Compared to my other PLA, the 3DHoJor PLA is INCREDIBLY brittle. A print I made fell on carpet and broke into pieces. I store all of my filament together, and have had no issues with other filament I own (so likely not a humidity issue - lockable plastic trunk with dehydrator packets and a digital hygrometer registering below the threshold). I have also had multiple issues with clogging and stringing.If you have the time and patience to troubleshoot, this filament is a good value. It might work for you. But if you're looking to queue a print and return to a finished, durable, well-made print... you might look elsewhere for your filament. I feel like I've wasted enough filament (I just completely disassembled my nozzle, hot end, and Bowden tube to clean out clogs after 20 minutes into a print that also stuck to my PEI bed - going to have to break out the acetone for this one, I think) to eliminate the value I thought I was getting.

Printed great on my Bambu A1. Color:I love the blue it bright and kind of electric.Print quality:It worked right out of the box! Why did you pick this product vs others?:Price then color.
