Very good PLA. Prints well, Texas A&M color match is spot on. I would highly recommend this filament.

A great color match. This is a good quality filament. I am able to print reliably which is important as I run my printers 24/7. Easy to use as you can likely use the default settings on your printer for PLA. I did on my Bambu P2S. Have not yet run it on any other printers. Decent value for the filament especially to get the color match. Filacube, is there a PETG and/or ASA version in the works?

YOUR FIRST PRINT WITH THIS FILAMENT MUST BE A TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION TOWER! This will save you much frustration. Search prusaprinters.org for "small quick temperature tower" to find one that consumes only 4 grams of filament. For a Prusa MK3S, the filament jams the extruder at 210° (standard PLA temperature) with loud clicking noises. It prints well using 225° for the first layer and 220° for remaining layers. Read the cheat sheet in the product description. It matters. Use the filament override settings in your slicer to set retraction speed to 25 mm/s, and the heat bed settings recommended in the cheat sheet (60° first layer, 50° for the rest) has worked well (so far) for my powder-coated steel sheet. When the print is done, the part loosens itself completely from the build plate as it cools. Self-adhesion seems to be excellent compared to other PLA, although build plate adhesion is noticeably weaker, but still seems good enough. I printed a large part and it had no visible warping to ruin the adhesion, so that helps. The color is a somewhat translucent white. The first layer actually looks transparent on the build plate. For printing lithophanes, I recommend printing thicker than usual to get decent contrast, due to the translucency of this filament. The finish has a nice even sheen to it.

If you're looking for a very light gray, this is pretty good. This PLA works very well in my Ender 3 V2. My machine is dialed perfectly and I use a flexible steel PEI coated build plate and a glue stick. Small parts don't unstick during a long. I printed 25 CHEP cubes (actually way more than 25 of various colors) as toys, and forcing the PLA to stick to the heated bed 50°C was needed. EDIT: My spool of ENGINEERING GRAY PLA-2 was terrible.. BAD.. Could not use it no matter what I tried. It continually jammed in the nozzle and the extruder motor/gear would build pressure, then skip/slip -CLUNK- , thousands of times during a print. No matter what settings I tried this one spool of ENGINEERING GRAY would not run. I switched straight over to several other spools of different PLA's, and prints would be fine! So the issue is this one spool. i have never had one so bad before and it is a shame. The cool gray works well.

Pros: * finish is amazing! smmth and slippery * interlayer adhesion is very good * dimensionally stable * overall beutiful prints * made here in the USA * responsive tech support Cons: * Warping. Unintuitively, you need less than 40C bed temp, and even down to no bed heat at all to print well for large flat items. but that was not enough for items with a small footprint, but tall as the part in the pics. They still warped, on EZMat, tape, glu - you name it. * for those as in the pictures, I ended up using a standard PLA raft, pausing, changing filaments to Filacube for the part. this kept it down on the bed. I'm still experimenting, trying different sized brims, as I do not want to keep using different materials for these specific parts. And that's just it - part geometry plays a huge role in your results. I spent at least 48 hours trying to get these parts to print without warping, and I would have only done that if the finished parts printed in this material were stellar. And basically, they are if you can control the warp of certain geometries. Sumamry: I have not given up on this material. It's look and feel and strength are really nice. I think I just need to get my printing chops up a bit to leverage it.

Hands-down the worst, most unreliable PLA I've worked with. The flesh-tone color is great - exactly what I was looking for - but this PLA is the most temperamental I've ever worked with. Printing on the Raise3D E2 printer, I have control over every setting to dial into the specific requirements of any type of filament. Most, I've found, are fairly forgiving allowing you to print within a range to get acceptable prints. FilaCube provides a "cheat sheet" for their filaments both on their product page and website, so I was encouraged that I'd be able to get decent prints with their filament. Unfortunately, I've been running about a 98% failure rate with their filament even when using the settings specified on their "cheat sheet." In fact, when using their suggested settings, it was pretty much a 100% failure rate. I have managed to get some successful prints - and by "successful" I only mean that the print completed - but most prints ended with only being partially completed. The prints that did complete and stringing, burrs, layer adhesion issues, and other imperfections that required a lot of manual finishing to make them just barely useable. To get this far, I found I had to print at a temperature and with parameters far outside the spec of the filament's "cheat sheet." Frustrated with this filament, but needing it for a project, I contacted their support to see if they could help better dial in the settings for this PLA. On the positive side, I was impressed that FilaCube actually *has* support for their filaments, however I can't say they were entirely helpful. After a couple of exchanges, the only recommendation provided was that the Flesh PLA needs to be printed at a temperature that is at least 30°C higher than the recommended range on the "cheat sheet." At this point, I had already figured that much out, so the fact that no other insight could be provided was disappointing. Having burned through more than half the spool on wasted prints based on FilaCube's faulty print specifications, I was even more disappointed when I asked if a replacement spool could be provided only to have their support stop replying to my emails. Of course, I was now outside the return window, so the spool ended-up being a near total loss. Suffice to say, I cannot recommend FilaCube's PLA filament whatsoever. With a decade of experience in 3D printing, this is probably the most problematic filament I've found. I've never had a PLA be almost completely unprintable, let alone service that can't provide anything other than the most obvious solutions. In the end, I feel that FilaCube doesn't really stand by their product even when their CS agent admits their recommended specs are wrong. Will not use FilaCube filaments in any of my printers again.

This PLA2 is an awesome product!!!! Soft, sandable, dimensionally sharp, and it can be dropped, used in mechanical products, thrown in a washing machine, you name it. My company and I have torture tested every prototype we have made with this product. It can take the abuse. I have been very impressed with this white. It's color is very bright white. This product is incredibly forgiving, and only seemed to have print issues when I would make a mistake with setting up my printer. Prints really well at 198 - 200c with a 50 - 55c bed. While I have gone as hot as 210c on the nozzle with little issue, any hotter bed (60c+)and you will get elephants foot for sure. You could probably print on a cold bed with success too (and the right bed adhesive) though I always like to print with a little bed heat. This filament would be awesome for first time users and advanced users alike. It gives you plenty of room to play, is very forgiving, and gets you great results. I will definitely order again.

I am so glad that I stumbled across the filament from fila-cube. I have used lots of different brands in this price range. Few of them approach the level of quality that I see from Filacube. Here's a list of what I like: - matte-like/semi-gloss finish: filaments in this price range usually result in an excessively shiny print. They look like they are covered in oil. filacube tends to produce a semi-gloss print. It's not a matte. But it is the closest to a matte finish that I have seen in a filament in this price range. - low rate of error: I have gone through at least five 1 kg spools of the purple PLA (probably at least 50 different projects). I have only had one print fail. It was near the end of the spool, and I'm somewhat doubtful it was because of an imperfection in the filament. - near perfect layers: I print objects that have lots of curves and corners and fine details. rarely do I see any evidence of over/under-extrusion. Standard .2mm layer height looks more like .12mm. this is especially noticeable compared with the print quality of other filaments at this price range - which tend to have lots of dimples along curved surfaces and imperfections at the corners. - well spooled: I have never encountered an overlap. Which means I do not have to attend to my print as much. Very set it and forget it. Cannot recommend this filament more highly.
