Solid PLA at a great price
Been using this filament in my P1S for about 6 months now and it's just great. Prints really well and is always a good price. Wasn't hard to dial in if you want to go the extra mile. Color is a bit of a bluish black, not as black as their non-"rapid" PLA but it doesn't bother me at all.

Good filament for high speed printers
I'm using this stuff in my Bambu Labs X1C and in my Voron 2.4, I have to say that for its current inexpensive price I'm truly impressed. I haven't had any issues with the filament even at really high speeds (500mm/s). I have used Bambu Labs PLA support material with the Elegoo PLA+ Rapid and it works great. I've been printing functional pieces and they have come out dimensionally accurate and strong, layer adhesion is really good and this stuff has no issues with sticking to the beds I've tried so far, two different textured PEI and two smooth with glue stick (both the cool plate and high temp plate Bambu stickers). No warping, sticks to the build plate, prints fast and models come out great. I bought one roll just to test out due to the current low price and have wound up ordering 8 more rolls so far. This stuff works great in printers meant for high speed printing. It's not gonna make your Ender 3 magically capable of speed higher than the printer is built for but for Bambu Labs, Voron, RatRig, etc. this is a good high speed PLA+. The only con I've noticed is that the black isn't truly black, it's more of a really, really dark, almost black but really dark gray with a beautiful matte/satin sheen. Compared to Elegoo ASA and some other brands black ABS and PLA I have on hand, the lighter color of the Elegoo PLA+ Rapid is obvious but I'm good with it because it prints so well.

Excellent for printing at high speeds!
The media could not be loaded. I have bought the Elegoo regular PLA before and was impressed by it's performance. I had a feeling that I have to try the high speed version of the filament so I bought it weeks later. Set it up for the maximum speed that my printer allows and I am highly impressed by it. No stringing, adhesion was perfect and the layers look great at 600 mms for about $10 less than the leading brand. Will buy more of these filaments in the future!

Great filament for high speed printing
For the most part, I have had few problems with this filament, since I made some concessions. First thing to note is that the spool of red filament wasn't properly vacuumed before it was sealed. The spool of white, no complaints... once I started using glue stick on the bed. The black gave me a couple of good prints but has had stringing problems and popping sounds when printing. It has been in airtight storage with Dessicant since its first use (one 3DBenchy that looked pretty good, apart from the stringing. The red is just a mess. So very much stringing. I'm sure that I would need a method of drying filament at some point, but I didn't anticipate having to buy drying equipment immediately to dry the new filament from my printer manufacturer. Here we are, though. I haven't tried the blue yet. It still is sealed and the way some of this stuff has been taking on water, I'll leave it sealed until needed. I'm modifying a food dehydrator as a filament dryer to see how it does after drying. Oh, the glue on the bed has been necessary with all the colors, not just the white. Everything has been calibrated to death, with the help of after sales support, but the time difference between the US and China makes it difficult. They have been helpful with proper settings that I was unable to find elsewhere, which finally made it printable. I don't feel like I have gotten a good value for my money given the premium price. Oh, though this is "Rapid" PLA+ don't expect 500mm print speed even if your printer supports it. 250mm/sec seems about as fast as it ever gets while still maintaining layer adhesion, and that is going to be rarely and only on infill. 150mm/sec for straight lines is average since I dropped Elegoo's fork of Cura. That actually helped the most with all the problems. Any setting over 250mm/sec and you are greeted with a hairball. Every time. I have no doubt that this will be better after drying, but I can't say that I'll be buying Elegoo filament again.Edit: Since Amazon won't let me review the single roll of Rapid PLA+ Silver separately, I've dropped it to two stars because this spool hasn't passed a print yet. First layer adheres fine, (again with glue every time), but the overall layer adhesion has been absolute (insert your favorite euphemism for fecal matter). I leveled my bed at least 30 times trying to print a first layer adhesion test. It wasn't the bed, it was the soggy filament. It sounds like popcorn when printing and there are little explody zits on the print. I got one "usable" print out of this so far, in so much as I had to sand it for hours to get the strings and bumps off. That one was straight out of the packaging. Swapped to the white and it printed perfectly the first time. On another note, calling this silver is highly misleading. I believe the description was "similar in finish to brushed aluminum." It is similar in appearance to grey plastic. The only difference I can see is that the grey color is slightly darker than what they call grey. I will try my best to edit this review once I have dried it out and tried again, but unless it slices and sands itself, I don't see a lot of room to improve my opinion. First impressions mean a lot, and my first impression is never again.Edit 2: I was contacted by Elegoo after sales support after leaving my review. They were really attentive and were keen to make it right. They offered to replace all of the filament. I had already purchased the supplies to dry it, so I declined. Then they refunded for all 5 rolls. The filament performed very well after drying. I continued to have problems, so I recalibrated, and things went surprisingly well considering my printer had a cracked throat tube and there was a tiny of filament leaking and pushing things off further with each print. I was able to get a couple of prints to finish with minimal artifacts and zero stringing at 250mm/sec. Any company that stands by their products to this degree gets a second look from me. I will update again once I get a replacement for my printer, and I am able to give this filament a fair shake. In the meantime, I will update to a tentative 4 stars based on the improvement in the filament and the admittedly fantastic customer support. We'll look at that last star when I get a chance to give it a real run.Edit 3: With the replacement printer this filament has performed very well. I have had no stringing to speak of with any of the filament once it was dried. Once the first layer goes down, I can usually leave it to print without supervision. I just check in on my webcam that I set up for that purpose. I have nearly used the entire white spool and quite a lot of the others. For the record, the "silver" still looks like grey plastic but at least it makes usable and displayable prints now. I have used other brands since and the Elegoo has been the only thing to stand up to the high speeds available on my printer. I run 250mm/s minimum after the first layer and all my prints come out great. I wish that the Neptune 4 Pro I bought worked as well without tuning every few prints. If they could get their bags to seal properly so that 1 out of every 3 doesn't come vacuum sealed, I would look no further for my filament needs.

Great black filament - works very well at high speeds on the Bambu Labs A1
This filament has been great so far. Some blacks have a bit of a hue to them that just doesn't look black after printing. This doesn't have that and I'm very happy with the output. It performs very well on my Bambu Labs A1 printer and has not had any issues at high speed.My only concern is that one cardboard spool was bent, probably when vacuum sealed, which might interfere with the filament coming off the spool. It hasn't caused an issue yet but I'm watching it carefully.

Prints well, no problems.
I don't know what to say about this filament, except that it is in the "reliable" pile. Good stuff. Prints fast, prints well, doesn't give me any issues or headaches. I printed a set of the "battle rattle" series of baby rattles with it as a gift and they turned out great. I don't think I have a picture of those, though. Here's a jeep.If I want something to look silvery, I'll grab this roll. If I don't care about the color and I just want something to print reliably and not give me any fuss, I'll grab this roll. This is my go-to brand for high speed PLA.

The white filament works great
I've read some reviews about the black color that were pretty negative - I can't speak to that, since I haven't used it. The white filament is very good. It's my go-to for prototyping, since at less than $14 per roll, it's great for kicking out prints that I know are going to get tossed, anyway. The print quality is very good, and I've never had an issue with adhesion.

Nearly Perfect
The filament performs very well at all speeds and is pretty forgiving even if your settings are perfect. It does experience slight adhesion issues on smaller prints but that could my bed causing the issue. I find myself adding brims to supports and seems to help. This stuff is very sturdy and quite resilient. Post processing is mainly the worst part and sandpaper doesn't do very well against it. This is common amongst most PLA but this filament is just slightly harder. Overall very great stuff. I highly recommend.
