NOVAMAKER 3D Printer Filament - 1.75mm PLA Filament, PLA 1kg(2.2lbs), Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.03mm

I've been 3D printing for 18 months now and have gone through probably 20 spools of PLA. I had one bad experience with an "off brand" and have stuck with the big name PLA since... until now. I couldn't resist the extremely competitive price of this PLA and decided I would give it a try. I am very pleased that I did. From the two photos you can see it works exactly as it should, especially the 1st photo which shows how well the bottom layer is printing. I did not have to adjust my extruder temperature, or my bed temperature which was a huge plus.I'm very pleased that I'm going to be saving so much with my future PLA purchases!

I've had mixed experiences with low cost PLA out of China, but I am rather impressed with this one. The orange color is a really nice orange. It prints really well on my very old 3D printer, but I haven't dialed in the best settings for this one just yet; I need to work on retraction (a little more) and heat (a little less), but even tho I feel those are not set perfect, I still was able to get some amazing prints.I printed out the 3D Benchy that everyone always seems to print, along with a case for a Raspberry PI. The material performed as it should. No warping and good tolerances. My printer need some work, but this filament is truly up there with the more expensive ones.The product came in a simple box, with the spool vacuum sealed as expected, and I didn't experience any pops while printing, so moisture isn't an issue right out of the box like I have found in some other inexpensive brands. The spool has some cut-outs on one side so you can see how much is left, which solves a problem that I didn't have, but others might find that useful. The filament is spooled tight, and looks clean; I didn't have any issues with tangles as it came off the spool with ease as my printer needed.Overall, I think this stuff works great. Take a look at my pictures, but keep in mind that my printer isn't dialed in perfectly yet.

I have used about every filament out there and this is by far the best PLA I have ever printed with. I am reviewing the black PLA from NovaMaker. It came sealed with desiccant in a nice box and the spool was nice as well. There is no popping when printing which means it was nice and dry. It sticks to the build plate very well and the prints are incredibly strong. It also bridges very, very well, with minimal stringing. You really can't beat this filament for the price.**** Update - I have revised my review to 2 stars after getting about a quarter of the way into the roll. I am having nothing but issues with jamming now and upon measuring the filament with my calipers the range is all over the place. Some sections are right on 1.75mm but then a few mm away goes up to 2.0mm! This is what is causing my jamming. I have wasted so much filament by trying to cut away the inconsistent sections and thinking its ok to print again just to jam part way in. This is a real shame as this filament is nice and dry and has really nice melting properties. If they could fix their size consistency issues I would try it again.**** Update 2 - When I changed filament to one of my other know good rolls I notice I couldn't prime the nozzle as it was clogged again from my last printing attempt. I tried everything to unjam it with no luck.I actually had to disassemble my hot end and replace the throat and nozzle it was so clogged. I have heard of this happening before but never had it happen to me until now.

This manufacture has hit the mark with an awesome product for a decent price. Most other filaments are over 25 dollars, this one comes in under that, with a tighter tolerance level.The melting of this filament has been great. It melts smooth and the edges are sharp.I realize it might be a function of my printer, but printing at a .02 with this filament has been yielding results of closer to a .01.I have tried and used MANY different filaments over my last three years of 3D printing, so far I like this series the best.It keeps the color very well and doesn't change after printing.I highly recommend getting a roll and testing it yourself!

To be honest I was a little skeptical at how good this filament would be at this price. First off it has slots in the side of the spool so you can see how much filament is left on the spool so wasn't worried about not having enough for the print at hand. I ran through almost a whole spool of this with no jamming or clogging I ran it through two different printers of mine the little devil 210 F nozzle 60 F bed and the XYZ DaVinci Pro 195 F nozzle 60 F bed. The TiVo I ran at 210 degrees Fahrenheit because of the parts cooling fan so if you don't have a parts cooling fan 190-200 should be perfect. all Print came out clean. The bed adhesion on this filament is excellent I would suggest using a Elmer's purple glue stick on the print bed before printing for easier removal of the print at the end. My suggestion buy up a bunch of this filament before people find out how good it is and it runs out of stock!
