KODAK PLA Plus 3D Printer Filament, 2.85mm +/- 0.02 mm, 750g (1.7lbs) Spool, Yellow

I swear to god (I would testify this in front of congress) I received a ripped box and a set of sealed Dewalt drill bits. It gave me such a good laugh that I didn’t want to return it and put a further strain on the environment. Thank you for the pretty ripped box and the drill bits. I’m a huge Kodak fan and I found a use for the bits so not a total loss. Anyways, 5 stars

Got a roll of this filament for way less than list price, and at the time I bought it the product rating was about 3 stars. I have to say I am very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the filament. The filament was well packaged and includes a resealable ziploc/vacuum bag.I measured the diameter in a few spots and it was within 0.01mm of 1.75mm. I used a printing temperature in the recommended range, 220C works well for me. The filament is also less brittle than many of the regular PLA filaments I have used, indicating that it behaves more like a PLA+. The gray filament is also a very nice color, it is opaque and has a slight amount of pearl/glitter effect to it.All in all a great filament that works very well. At the list price it is a little steep, but it seems like a premium filament to me.

So the product has a significant price mark up and is only a 750g roll and not the 1 Kg std. The supposed features of this plus (+, performance, enhanced) pla are not noticeable compared to my experience with normal pla. It does require a higher printing temp. which I would hope would correlate to higher heat tolerance, but it hasn't been used in an environment where that's a concern. The product isn't bad in and of itself, but the marketing and packaging are terrible. As mentioned before price is significantly higher with no significant quality/performance difference. the packaging is a flimsy paper board box that is a struggle to re-use for storage. The vacuum sealed bag has a zip lock, but I couldn't get it to re-seal, the bag is cut down to small to allow extra material for you to re-vacuum seal yourself. Despite already going cheap an knocking 250g off the normal spool size, Kodak couldn't resist making the actual spool holding the filament about 1/3rd the size of a spool for 1 Kg of filament (extremely undersized). The result of this decision is there is too much filament for the spool to actually hold when full so you have to babysit prints to make sure the filament the is flopping off the spool constantly doesn't get rapped around and bound on other part of your printer. I don't know why anyone would buy this, I don't know why Kodak bothered to sell it (no pride in their image I guess).Update: After attempting many prints and tweaks to configuration this filament continues to be frustrating. Despite the minimum print temp. being documted as 210, it only prints decently at 205. Regardless of speed, if the temp is higher or lower than 205 the layers come out gummy with blobs that make any print a failure. With the temp dialed in it will print decently except for some reason supports. The support structures are always a bloby inconsistent density throughout sometimes making them to weak to serve their purpose or creating blobs and strings that catch on the nozzle and interfere with the actual print. Like others, I found the filament to be very brittle and snaps easily which was a real problem when the spool was full as the spool is too smal for the amount of filament and would readily slide off the spool and get hung up on the printer frame where it would snag and snap. The prints that have not failed are very strong compared to other pla and thin layers are very flexible and don't act as brittle as the filament. On an overhang test print it was able to hold 75° with a 0.2 nozzle and 0.8 layer height. When prints come out there are some good qualities with this filament that make me want to be able to use it for certain applications, but so far its performance is to inconsistent for me to purchase again. Its behavior is very odd/inconsistent leaves me wondering if I just got a really poor quality spool, but I have watched several reviews now that showed similar frustrating performance.

So I finally got around to using this filament and I am not impressed with it. I did get some mediocre prints but besides that it just been trouble. Here are the pros and cons.Pros1. Nice resealable bag.Cons ( using an Ender3 upgraded)1. Brittle- the filament breaks easily when bent or can snap when going through the extruder2. Overall most prints failed to adhere.. I am using a a creality PEI plate on the heated bed and never had issues with prints adhering. I thought that maybe the bed was not level, and checked the level after each failure. The final failure I just remove this stuff and changed it out for some SainSmart and reran the print, and low and behold, no issues.3. Not only did I have issues with it sticking to the plate, but it loved to gum up and cause issues with my hot end. I am using direct drive and a micro Swiss and have ran TPU and never experienced such a messy outcome.I have used hatchbox, Sain Smart, 3d fuel ,Amazon basic, etc and this is the first filament I give up on.I will try it on the ender 5 when I have a chance, but I am not holding my breath,

Filament was wavey and jammed in my Bowden tube. The filament had dust / dirt on it as it came out of a sealed package. I cleaned it off but the filament blocked my extruder. Making me suspect the dirt was throughout the spool. I also tried the black Kodak filament I also bought and got the same results. In addition when I got it to print the print surface was rough / lumpy over a range of condtions on a test structure. I bought this filament based on good reviews I found on you tube.This cost me hours recovering from the jams, Bowden tubes and nozzles. Needless to say I am very unhappy with this filament.BTW I was using a .4 mm nozzle

I have printed 4 objects with this spool filament. on a larger (12+hour) the filament broke between the spool and the printer (there is about 12 inches of distance, spool sits on top of printer). Lucky for me i have a filament sensor on that printer otherwise i would have had to redo the print.I will not be buying Kodak filament again.

I bought this because I had used PETG from Kodak which prints great. I got the PLA+ for a project and the color is great. However, the filament on the roll I received was extremely brittle where the filament would repeatedly snap causing failed prints. You just never knew when it would snap and the next thing you know - the filament run out sensor gets triggered because the filament snapped. I have never had this happen with any brand of filament - Hatchbox, Overture, eSun, even crappy SunLu. I am returning this because it is simply unusable. This roll may have been in storage an extremely long time causing the filament to be brittle. In the days of Covid19 - we're scraping the back of the warehouse so feel free to return anything that isn't working properly ASAP.
