3D Prima PVPLA175BK PrimaValue PLA Filament, 1.75 mm OD, 1 kg Spool, Black

Made the mistake (again - when will I ever learn 😁) of buying a really cheap filament from another supplier (£12 a reel). It wouldn't stick to the bed, split, had to be run really slowly, just didn't work. Bought a reel of Prima - not that much more expensive - and .....it just works. Sticks to the bed first time, excellent quality prints, the light grey is a lovely colour for over painting and I've saved so much time and stress due to not having to mess about with settings/speed. Brilliant, not expensive filament that works really well, first time.Reminder to self - saving £7 a reel just isn't worth the bother. 🤣🤣

Ordered the green PLA, the light to mid-ish green.Arrived quick. Was packed in cardboard box that was cellophane wrapped. Inside the cardboard boc was the spool that was wrapped once more with cellophane and had a pack of desiccant in.The PLA bend well without snapping. Tested on the Alfawise U20. Prints good at 205-210, for me. Adjusted feed to 104% as it seems to need a bit more filament than the previous PLA I used, to give a nice even fill.The prints look great, well filled lines and smooth texture. Found it gave not much spider webs with standard retract settings, which is great.Used 50% of the spool and so far no tangling up.So can only recommend it.

This stuff was, when I ordered it, relatively cheap. (In the midst of the COVID-19 lockdown, when suddenly everyone's printing PPE for the health services that governments couldn't be bothered to supply, the prices of filament, especially 1.75mm PLA, started to go up).By relatively cheap, I mean a normal sort of price, cheaper than the premium stuff I'd normally buy for personal use. I bought this for making bulk PPE, so went mostly by price. When it arrived, I was pleasantly surprised - it prints nice and cleanly, it's a lot less fussy and kinked than some fluorescent yellow stuff I'd paid more for, and is generally, well, pretty good. It leaves a slight residue on my print bed, but not as bad as the glow-in-the-dark stuff I'd recently tried. After a few dozen prints, I'm having adhesion and warping issues, but to be fair I think that's because I probably corroded my extruder nozzle with glow-in-the-dark filament beforehand, making it more prone to clogging. I expect it to be fine after changing the nozzle. The colour I got, a kind of lime green, is a lot nicer in real life than in the pictures.Unfortunately, after I bought it it shot up in price and is, at time of writing around 75% more expensive than it was.At the original price I would say this is very good value, a bargain even, I would happily pay a bit more for it, it's pretty decent filament. At the dramatically increased price, though, which is the same as I'd usually pay for premium filament for occasional use, I would go for something that's always that kind of price and is better again.Obviously the price is likely to fluctuate over time, and only the reader can judge whether it represents good value at any given moment, which is why I've tried to make qualitative sort of price comparisons rather than stating actual figures - this was originally about 60% of the cost of premium "standard" PLA, and 50% the cost of more exotic premium PLA. At that price it was very good value. Currently, it's slightly more expensive than premium "standard" PLA.Price isn't everything, but it's not nothing, either.

My first printer filament. Initially gave very poor prints but this was due more to my inexperience of the hardware and software setups of my Geeetech Prusa i3 Acrylic printer.I notice that several users have given poor reviews as the filament can come off the reel and tangle during printing. I get the same thing happening with my garden hose and mains cable extension reel. Not the fault of the filament, hose or cable in my opinion, just the way it's unwound.I made up a guide using a wire coat hanger, tarpaulin eyelets and some gardening wire to ensure it always feeds from the middle of the reel. No tangle problems! The weird reel holder came with the printer.Very happy so far.

I loved the price of this filament but had reservations as to its performence. However, I decided to give it a go. I am glad i did. It is now my go to filament and works reliably everytime.The PLA is strong, rigid and looks really good.Admitably, I did have some trouble getting started with the settings and can appreciate the difficulty of setting up a printer and refining the settings. This is the first filament I have used so I had a steap learning curve:)For anybody else having the same problems I had with the settings, These are the settings I run on my printer (Tevo Tornado):110 Degrees Celcius on the Nozzle/Hot End60 Degrees Celcius on the bed.These settings worked for me however, there may be a lea way of 5 to 10 degrees depending on your printer and the temperature of your room/surroundings :)Lastly, I wanted to address a question I had of how much can I print with this Filament. It is a 1KG spool and in your slicer software, it should tell you how much filament (In grams) each print uses. But a general answer is alot. Ive been printing alot over the past week or so and I have barely even noticed it go down. You could easily print multiple large scale objects such as Vases and Helmets for cosplay etc. with one spool.I hope this has been helpful. I would definately recogmend this filament. absolutely impeccable.Oh and the delivery/dispatch was good too:)All in all, brilliant filament and i will be ordering more when it runs out.

... Filament ist unsauber aufgerollt, verhakt und klemmt oft, man muss den Druck quasi beaufsichtigen. Musste nach Stunden des druckens schon einige Drucke entsorgen, da das Material völligst verklemmt war, und der "Nachschub" nicht mehr stimmte.

Purtroppo non sono soddisfatto. La pla di per sé sarà anche ottima, ma il rotolo che ho ricevuto io è stato avvolto in modo non corretto e quindi per utilizzarlo devo sbobinare e riavvolgere.

Aus der Spule knackt es gelegentlich gefährlich . Ursächlich die ' Ellenbogen- Daumen - Systemwicklung ' . Man be-fürchtet , dass sich die Spule verheddern könnte . Möglich , dass ein , an sich gutes Filament , für die Tonne gewickelt wurde . Oft kommt das Filament unter dem Folgenden zu liegen und es gäbe "Spaghetti- Fehldruck , wenn man nicht ein-greifen würde .

Arrivé en 1 jours dans un carton Amazon qui contenais la carton prima et la bobine qui était protéger avec du plastique étanche et un un sachet anti humidité ( que je vous conseille de laissé près de la bobine comme sur la photo)pla facile a utiliser (215* et 60* pour le plateau) et je trouve la couleur pas mal mais je ne pense pas qu'elle peut plaire a tout la monde.le seul bmole est le fait que si la vitesse d'impression change le rendu peut être soit mat soit brillant.Si le commentaire vous a été utiles dite le moi.^^

Top Filament. Hatte beim schwarzen Haftungsprobleme, das Weiße aber hält bombenfest (auf Blue Tape). Die Farbe ist eindeutig Weiß, also wie beschrieben. Würde es weiter empfehlen und werde es auch wieder kaufen.
