Polymaker Matte PLA Filament Cotton White 1.75mm 1kg 3D Printing Filament, PolyTerra 3D Printer PLA Filament

I originally purchased this because it's supposed to be a close match to Milwaukee Tool red. I wanted to make some accessories for my garage to organize my bits and pieces, and so far it definitely appears it's a nice match for the matte red color that Milwaukee uses on its tools. And, at $20/kg, it doesn't break the bank compared to some premium or specialty filaments out there.Aside from liking the red color and matte finish, I had excellent experiences with this filament:• Printed with a 0.5mm hardened steel nozzle, I used nozzle at 220°C, bed at 50°C• If adhesion is an issue, which I ran into when printing lines only 2 walls thick with no infill or other connections, I did need a light film of purple glue stick. That stuck down very well.• Stringing was nearly nonexistent for me. I had a tiny bit of light fuzz where retractions and travel moves happened, but that was it. I can easily burn that off with a quick touch of a torch.• Cardboard spool is a great touch to cut down on plastic trash in landfills.• Polymaker also supplies technical info on testing and composting for their PLA filament.I haven't tested for dimensional accuracy, but that's not a major concern for my use cases. There's probably enough tolerance in my printer's movements and belts that I wouldn't notice a huge difference anyway.The matte finish is excellent. It has just a small amount of sheen, but definitely isn't glossy except for the bottom layer on a smooth PEI bed.Overall, I'm very happy with this filament. It is excellent value for the price, and I've already ordered more to continue organizing my garage workspace.Update 6/19/2024: I've continued using this filament for various battery and tool holders, and it has been excellent. Prints well, nearly zero stringing, no clogs, no tangles, the cardboard spools have been fine. Overall, it's my go-to filament for my tool-related projects.

I recently purchased this matte marble PLA filament, and I must say, it has exceeded my expectations in several ways. Firstly, the cardboard roll it comes on is a small, yet noteworthy detail. It's not only environmentally friendlier than plastic, but it also seems to contribute to the filament's overall stability during printing, preventing tangles and ensuring a smoother feed into the printer.The print quality this filament delivers is nothing short of impressive. The matte marble effect it creates gives a sophisticated and high-end finish to printed objects, distinguishing them from the usual glossy appearance of standard filaments. This unique texture is perfect for decorative pieces, prototypes, and even functional objects that benefit from a touch of elegance. The effect is subtle yet distinctive, adding depth and character to the prints.Another aspect I greatly appreciate is the strength of the filament. Often, aesthetics come at the cost of durability, but that’s not the case here. The prints are robust and hold up well under stress, which is a testament to the quality of the filament. It's versatile enough to be used for a variety of projects, from intricate models to parts that require a bit more resilience.The consistency in color is another area where this filament shines. The colors are not only accurate but also repeatable, which is crucial for projects requiring uniformity across multiple prints. Whether I'm working on a single piece or a series of components, the color remains consistent from one print to the next, ensuring a professional look for the finished product.In summary, this matte marble PLA filament is a fantastic choice for anyone looking to elevate their 3D printing projects. Its unique finish, combined with its strength and color consistency, makes it a versatile and reliable option for a wide range of applications. I didn't find anything to dislike about it, which is rare and speaks volumes about its quality. For anyone on the fence about trying it, I'd definitely recommend giving it a shot – it might just become your new favorite filament.

I’ve bought a lot of FDM PLA filament in the last 8 months. Probably 45-50 kg. Some was basic, some was special. This was probably the highest quality of the entire lot. I’ve had issues with other brands but the texture on this stuff was great. Used with my BambuLabs A1.Simply run the calibration tool in the software, apply the Factor K for it and off you go to the races.I printed a 13” ET candy dispenser for my sister in law’s birthday and she’s going to love it.The price is a bit higher than some of the “value” brands but the quality is there. It really makes a difference. Looks amazing, feels great, very little waste.

I can easily say the polymaker brand is easily my go-to and favorite filament brand, there so many high quality looking filaments, and they always print great.and there is many different shades of a color that polymaker carries aswell,I used this Arctic Teal as an Ice color on a project I did.The adhesion is always good aslong as long as your build plate is clean. dimensionaly stable width with no random clumps that could get stuck in your extruder gears, consistently seems to be the 1.75 diameter.I've only ever had 1 roll, maybe 2 that have had a tangle in it, but with the amount of polymaker rolls I have ordered on both amazon and the official site, it comes to no surprise and would be bound to happen. Prints always come out great.The only downside is using the cardboard spool in an AMS system or similar, as it risks flaying/ splitting apart at the edges, but it is easily fixed with a printable edge guard for the spool.
