20m colour change but very good PLA at a great price
I previously paid £33 for some Sunlu Silk Rainbow PLA, and was very annoyed. The colour change was every 20-25m, and instead of a fade, it was a solid very noticeable line change.This Tecbears rainbow is much nicer. Printed 3 100% benchy's totalling 20m and I'm seeing three colours in it (Pink, grey and green). Consistent diameter, 200-205, extremely strong (couldn't break the temp tower at any points), and has a glossy finish.I'm very pleased.

Pretty good orange PETg
I completed a quick print for a drill guide for my decking. It's perfect for the job as it's strong but slightly flexible at 3mm thick with 20% infil so it can form around each board I drill holes for. I need to do another test with the PETg as there were a few bobbles on it but I think that's to do more with my settings rather than the filament. All is good so far so no complaints!***Update - I made a few new prints and followed some advice from others. Hot end 240c, 80c on the bed and made sure that I left a little more height when leveling. Unlike PLA, PETg requires a little more space, about the equivilant of 2-3 sheets of paper. Everything came out extreemly well so I'm pleased.

Prints well straight out of the box on standard PLA settings
I bought this filament in the silver/grey colour as I tend to print figurines and models, and a neutral colour means less preparation is necessary before painting. I have printed a few things off now, and have to say it is a very impressive filament that is easy to use on standard PLA settings (200 degC hot end and 50 degC bed) in the latest version of Cura. I have used it on two of my printers (Ender 3 and CR10S) at various qualities with very pleasing results. I took a chance on the brand even though I had never used them before but will certainly be back for more when this runs out, and for other colours depending on what project I need them for.

Absolute bargain
Pleasantly surprised by this brand. It prints fantastically at 209C on a unheated bed - I would advise you don't print on PEI directly (put some tape down) as it will stick so well you'll ruin the print (or PEI sheet) trying to separate them.*Spooled neatly*Vacuum sealed with descant*full 500g of filament

A dog to print initially but takes time to dial in your settings to get a good print.
I've never had so much hassle with dialing in CF filament before (I've used SunLu, Ziro and Geeetech before and they printed nicely on basically stock PLA settings). Packaging is standard, comes in a cardboard box with vacuum sealed bag with desiccant in. The filament winding is excellent though :).After a couple of test prints I finally used the following settings with good results. Fan 90%, Flow 97%, , Hot End Temp 210, Bed 55, Speed 50 -55. Now I have good settings would buy again but as Ziro filament is the same price I will make my decision after I've used this role.

Wouldn’t buy again
My usual brand PLA was unavailable so I decided to try this based on reviews and am wishing I hadn’t - I bought the twin pack white and black (but haven’t opened the black yet).The white is very poorly wound (see picture - the black looks like it is much better in the packet) and I am yet to get a successful print with it despite trying multiple settings variations. Every print so far has ended up with random defects in odd places, most of the print comes out fine but will have stringing and lumps in random places despite most of the print being successful with no discernible pattern or reason to the defects, when measured the filament diameter is inconsistent and audible pops can be heard from the hot end during printing so it’s safe to say I won’t be buying this brand again especially given that it costs as much as other more respected brands.

Great filament, strong colour and easy to print
I received this filament free of charge to carry out a review.As you can see from the photo's it arrived well packaged in a vacuum sealed bag with silica gel.As always with a new filament my first print was a temp tower to check for the optimum operating temperature and I was surprised to see the wide range of useable temps without any stringing issues.After this as you can see from the photo's I carried out several prints of different sizes and complexities and every print went perfect. (Don't hate for the Santa print).All in all this was a great filament I would highly recommend. I have struggled in the past getting a strong white with 3 "white" reels I have purchased all being a different colour but this is a very strong white.Would defiantly buy from TecBears again 10/10.

Nice Rainbow filament
Thought I would get some of this as I have tried Rainbow filament from other companies and I will say I am happy with the results. I did need to rewind about 100 mm off the reel before using. (I normally do this) I would recommend this to user to use for there prints.I do like the colour transitions.Over all some great filament.
