Amazon Basics PLA 3D Printer Filament, 1.75 mm, Black, 1 kg per Spool

I've printed reels and reels of this Basics filament now, and it always prints well (on three different makes of printer & bed). Colour consistency is good too - bought the same colour years apart and it's identical! It adheres to the bed well and it's good value for money too.The only negative is the width of the reel, and only then if you're using a Bambu AMS which I recently bought - disappointingly, they don't fit and I've had to spool it onto a Bambu reel with a drill! (Amazon's reels are well in excess of the maximum which is 68mm for the standard AMS (and AMS Lite I believe but I don't have one to check).

Just about to finish a reel of this filament. Wasn't expecting much given the price - but it has given me high-quality trouble-free printing and I will be buying plenty more of this filament in future.

I struggled with this one initially, until I discovered that the average diameter is more like 1.70mm rather than 1.75mm. It is, however *consistently* undersized so you can just crank up your flow rate to compensate. The actual extrusion is more consistent than other cheap brands I've tried.It seems more prone to stringing and oozing than other filaments, so don't print hot (I'm at 200C atm, might drop down further). Retraction may need adjusting.It is, as another user pointed out, prone to adhesion problems. My bed is fairly good for adhesion, so as long as I have enough squish it sticks. Small parts need a brim. But I can imagine this filament being a nightmare on glass compared to others.Colour wise, for single layers it just looks like a darkish translucent green, but after a few more layers it really brightens up, but also becomes more opaque (like most translucent filaments do due to refraction). A thick printed part with lots of infill and walls will look REALLY bright, practically fluorescent. This makes me wonder about the lightfastedness of the pigment...only time will tell. The final colour is on the more yellow side of the green hue spectrum. Note that you will be able to see infill with this filament, so if aesthetics are more important than strength, choose your infill pattern wisely.It seems surprisingly strong and prints surprisingly well for a budget filament. I will be ordering more Amazon Basics reels if they're all this good for the money. Far better than e.g. Geeetech PLA.

While I haven't been 3D printing for long, it's literally opened up doors that I had previously never imagined possible. Pictured is one of my ribbon microphone tools (you can find these on Thingiverse as they are fully open source hardware). This particular tool corrugates the ribbon between two closely meshed gears. This was printed on a TronXY Pro 2 printer (similar to an Ender 3 but with fairly old, and buggy, Marlin software) and a stock 0.4mm nozzle.Despite that the prints are pretty much faultless. Bed adhesion (heated) was good and the filament performs well at a range of temperatures. This pearl lustre is pleasant and while this filament was surprisingly good for the price and produced mostly tools (I bought this instead of white by mistake) it should be excellent for decorative prints and lithophanes.What really surprised me was the addition of simple but thoughtful things that I hadn't imagined would come att his price: specifically a re-sealable bag and some moisture absorbent material in the reel! This is really neat because unless you've heard about the vacuum cleaner bag trick, it will allow you to store your PLA for months at a time when not in use and not end up as wetter than my washing when I left it out in the rain *(again).PLA isn't the worst offender for its hygroscopic properties (nylon takes that crown) but it is still prone to it, particularly in the summer months when air is holding more moisture.

It's a basic PLA. I probably won't purchase it again, but as I reach the end of the reel, I've almost got it figured out. The print quality is decent, but it doesn't stick well to the bed, tends to ooze, and I've had a high rate of failed prints. I don't print frequently, and constantly adjusting the settings didn't work for me. However, if you do a lot of printing, it might be worth considering because once the first layer sticks, the rest of the print goes smoothly.The main downside is that there are other PLAs that are more forgiving and just a bit better-behaved, and they're only a few pounds more. If I had stuck to the reels supplied by the printer manufacturer, I wouldn't have had to deal with printer calibration and adhesion issues. I've ended up throwing away half the reel.Creality Ender 5 S1: Print at 215℃, 75℃ bed temp on a textured plate, Max volumetric speed 13 mm3/s. Reduce bed temp after the first layer. Initial layer 0.2mm @ 60mm/s (slow), 1.15 bottom surface flow ratio (thick). Then 120-200mm/s for primary print speed.Lower initial bed temp and nozzle temps are possible (and look better), but the failure rate was higher. Lowering the nozzle temp to 205℃ after the first layer produces a slightly better-looking print, but interlayer bonding is not great.

Having gone over over 200 rolls of ICE filament and noticing ICE filament has gone practically extinct, I am pretty sure this is ICE Filament. So Amazon probably found a way to get to the same (probably Chinese) manufacturer and offer it in 1KG format and at a better price. I feel sorry for ICE but as a consumer and business I am benefiting and cannot complain. It's no doubt the best white, best red and best yellow in the market. For sure. The pigment is superior and the results are pristine.

PLA AmarilloActualización: Con plataforma de temperatura controlada, funciona perfecto (210°C extrusor, 55°C plataforma). Y usando Cura para cortar.--------Funciona bien. Si se usa lápiz adhesivo es muy difícil de despegar y si no se usa, se despega solo (en mi caso aprovecho para dejar las orillas sin pegamento y así facilita el despegar las piezas).Lo malo es que las piezas no quedan tan limpias como con otro PLA que antes usaba (los soportes y la cama dejan residuos en las piezas).No venía al vacío, pero no he tenido problemas de extrusión.Probado en FF finder, 215°C

Este filamento PLA de Amazon Basics es una opción fantástica por su calidad a un precio muy competitivo. He utilizado otros filamentos más caros y, sinceramente, este no tiene nada que envidiarles. Se comporta de maravilla con mi impresora 3D y ofrece resultados consistentes.Calidad de Impresión:El filamento tiene un buen acabado y se extruye de manera uniforme, sin atascos ni problemas. Las impresiones salen limpias y detalladas, y el color amarillo es vibrante y mantiene su tono incluso después de la impresión. Ideal tanto para proyectos pequeños como grandes.Fácil de Usar:Es fácil de trabajar con este PLA, incluso para alguien que no sea experto en impresión 3D. La adherencia a la cama es buena, lo que ayuda a que las impresiones se mantengan estables, y no he tenido problemas de deformaciones o contracciones.Relación Calidad-Precio:Por la cantidad que obtienes (1 kg de filamento) y la calidad del material, es una excelente compra. En comparación con otras marcas, es difícil encontrar un filamento con estas características a este precio tan accesible. Además, al ser de Amazon Basics, tienes la seguridad de que cumple con estándares de calidad.Conclusión:Si buscas un filamento PLA de buena calidad a un precio asequible, el Amazon Basics es una opción excelente. Fácil de usar, con un buen acabado y un color brillante, es perfecto para todo tipo de proyectos de impresión 3D. ¡Definitivamente lo volveré a comprar!

Si comme moi vous aimiez bien les filaments de la marque Ice Filament, qui semblent disparaître du stock Amazon au fil du temps, vous serez ravis de constater que ceux-ci se retrouvent maintenant brandés Amazon Basics. C'est le cas, par exemple de ce bleu foncé, qui est exactement le même que le "Daring Darkblue" proposé au préalable par Ice Filament : exactement même couleur, même aspect, et ce sont les mêmes produits jusqu'à la bobine support qui est identique, et sur laquelle les étiquettes Ice Filament ont été remplacées par Amazon Basic. Bref, si comme moi vous aviez peaufiné tous vos réglages de l'imprimante avec du Ice Filament, vous gardez les mêmes et c'est parti avec du Amazon Basic.

Ich habe schon viele verschiedene Filamente getestet, und das Amazon Basics Filament ist mit Abstand das mit der besten Druckqualität. Sobald die aktuelle Rolle aufgebraucht ist werde ich hier eine neue kaufen.

Great prints ans was great price when i bought, it went higher afterwards.
