What’s your favorite filament brands?
Added 2024-05-30 23:30:38 +0000 UTCI have some upcoming project ideas and want to know what filament brands you all love to work with!
Complete shocker I know… mine is elegoo PLA since it’s so dang cheap & I can buy colors like black in bulk.
I’m also a big fan of Cookiecad & Polymaker
Comments

2024-08-01 23:13:14 +0000 UTCI've used so many brands over the years and mostly used to buy eSun, and Inland, but Microcenter no longer ships most PLA. And eSun just isn't worth the premium price any more. There's so much competition now. I've recently been buying Elegoo PLA+ and Rapid PLA, and it's great. There are others I've been given in promotions over the years but won't buy at $30+ a KG.

2024-07-01 19:47:15 +0000 UTCive only got 2 real local suppliers 1 is for eSun Filaments and they have a good range across all types, and the other is more generic called Deltatech which has a good range and i can get them both sameday or next. My Deltatech agent has a discount on 5 rolls of any same filament type, knowing her clients is valuable

2024-06-21 13:12:48 +0000 UTCI have had great luck with eSun, Elegoo and Amolen

2024-06-10 21:13:22 +0000 UTCPolymaker, all day, every day. Also, doesn't hurt that 3DPrintGeneral works there now in influencer relations, so they're SUPER responsive to project proposals..

2024-06-03 07:36:44 +0000 UTCI've had good results with 3DJake and GEEETECH

2024-06-02 12:24:11 +0000 UTCI like Elegoo. But I also have a soft spot for Sovol, Kingroon, and Voxelab. Tho I live like a mile from lulzbot.

2024-06-01 01:31:23 +0000 UTCOK OK - for Glitter-based - my fav is "Empire Strikes Black" HTPLA / Protopasta. Always prints like a dream.
Bill Karkula
2024-05-31 22:19:12 +0000 UTCYou might also enjoy and appreciate Protopasta :-)
Protopasta
2024-05-31 17:31:22 +0000 UTCIn case you haven't seen, Protopasta has some vibrant colors :-)
Protopasta
2024-05-31 17:27:20 +0000 UTCProtopasta, but I'm biased ;-P
Protopasta
2024-05-31 17:26:21 +0000 UTCiiiDMax has been great for buying cheap bulk filament in great colors for me.
Mason
2024-05-31 14:05:59 +0000 UTCIf I'm getting just PLA, you can't beat Elegoo. Otherwise, I love Atomic. They have some cool colors, but aren't the least expensive option out there.
Chris Dotson
2024-05-31 14:00:53 +0000 UTCYep elegoo for me too for single colours and eryone for the rainbows
Mark@JCC
2024-05-31 13:05:15 +0000 UTCI used to use Sunlu or eSun, but since I'm running all Elegoo printers (2 FDMs and 1 Resin) I've switched to Elegoo PLA. It's my go-to now!
David Hooie
2024-05-31 12:31:33 +0000 UTCAll of the main brands are good and I have no problem printing with them. They would be out of business if they weren’t. It next comes down to color/brands for me. For black PLA, IC3D is my favorite. PLA yellow is hatch box, PLA Ultra Marine Blue is ColorFab, PLA light Blue is COEX, PLA White is eSun, PLA Bubblegum pink from Atomic Filament. PETG is printer-dependent for me but Polymaker works well and clear is a favorite, PETG Chocolate from Green Gate 3D has the best brown. No one filament brand seems to have the vibrance of colors for their whole line.

2024-05-31 11:47:21 +0000 UTCAfter five years of extensive testing, Fillamentum stands out as my S Tier. Their filaments boast unparalleled quality, vibrant pigmentation, and a smooth finish that enhances every print. My high standards for print quality are perfectly aligned with Fillamentum’s philosophy. Not on the cheap side, though, but worth every penny.
Holoprops
2024-05-31 11:44:00 +0000 UTCBig fan of Hatchbox. Otherwise I use Bambu or Elegoo.
RetroRiz
2024-05-31 11:25:00 +0000 UTCAbsolute favourite is Polyalchemy Elixir, still available in some colours if you know where to go. Really want to try Printed Solids Jessie Elixir if it becomes available here in Switzerland. Next up would be a mix of Polymaker, Eryone, and 3DJake. I see a lot of people loving Cookiecad, but not available here :-(, so unable to try it.
Steve Lyons
2024-05-31 05:38:40 +0000 UTCPolymaker.
Ramon Gebben
2024-05-31 05:33:39 +0000 UTCCookiecad for fun colors, Sunlu and Bambu labs and elegoo bulk PLA only.
Ippaku
2024-05-31 02:32:46 +0000 UTCI really like Zyltech, Eryone, Cookiecad, just to name a few
Mike Wardlow
2024-05-31 01:02:45 +0000 UTCWell eSun and poly maker have really nice flow. Bambu in a Bambu printer is unbeatable, and Elegoo has about the best first layer adhesion of all that I’ve used.
P Perry
2024-05-31 00:43:47 +0000 UTCNice! will check that out!
Uncle Jessy
2024-05-31 00:39:02 +0000 UTCohhh yeah Eryone Silk is niiiiice
Uncle Jessy
2024-05-31 00:38:52 +0000 UTCI like polymaker quite a a bit. Right now I am trying a brand called creator and it is doing very well for me
Joshua Hindman
2024-05-31 00:37:30 +0000 UTCElegoo for the same reason. But polymaker is my second go to. getting my first roll off cookiecad this weekend. Wish me luck on that filament

2024-05-31 00:02:06 +0000 UTCPrusament and Overture are my go to unless it is an exotic material.

Lightstar03
2024-05-30 23:48:55 +0000 UTCElegoo is my brand. Love the printers as well. Getting 4 Neptune 4 Pros delivered tomorrow.

SGGVengeance
2024-05-30 23:35:52 +0000 UTCEryone is my *stuffffff*, but Elegoo's PLA+ is pretty alright. I run a lot of PLA Silk, so that splits between Eryone and DO3D, both high quality.. but Overture is making inroads
LateElf
2024-05-30 23:35:44 +0000 UTCElegoo since it’s relatively cheap and easy to get. It’s done as well in my Bambu printers as their brand.
Yellahammer Tabletop Crafts
2024-05-30 23:35:39 +0000 UTCElegoo for the same reasons.
Damien Hurtado
2024-05-30 23:34:43 +0000 UTCSunlu for affordability. Cookiecad elixir easily my favorite nice filament.
Vertical Raptor
2024-05-30 23:34:39 +0000 UTCHandini it’s super cheap for 2 rolls of black on Amazon and it works really well
JohnBeezeeBoe
2024-05-30 23:34:38 +0000 UTCElegoo for sure, can you make a video trying the NylonX from Matterhackers? And some configurations for the neptune 4 max pls?!!
Italo Solar
2024-05-30 23:34:35 +0000 UTCI tend to stick with elegoo or polymaker. Hatchbox is pretty good to but I almost exclusively use them for their ABS
Rogue Music
2024-05-30 23:33:50 +0000 UTCElegoo has been my go to for 99% of my projects, but polymaker has some really nice specialty colors that I can't deny
Ian Vandersteen
2024-05-30 23:33:24 +0000 UTCMine is elegoo as well for the same reasons!
Nic
2024-05-30 23:33:03 +0000 UTCSunlu has been my go to from the start🫡
