ELEGOO PLA 3D Printer Filament 1.75mm Yellow 1KG | Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.02mm, 1kg Cardboard Spool(2.2lbs) 3D Printing Filament, Fits for Most FDM 3D Printers

I bought a spool of ELEGOO beige color for a project. It started off with a couple MAJOR issues with bed adhesion: after small successful tests, I ran the large main job. over halfway through, parts detached from the bed mid-print and collided with other parts, knocking them loose and ending up with a huge spaghetti tangle. I lost a distressingly large amount of filament on that failure - I didn't weigh it, but I estimate nearly half the spool. I'm contacting their support line in hopes they'll help replace the lost material somehow, since their suggested bed temp range didn't work at all. (I'll update with how their service is.) I did some trial-and-error adjusting on the suggested bed temps, and lost some more material in the process. I'll have to look back and see what temps I ended up with, and edit this review to add them in case it helps anyone else. After the temperature adjustments, the project printed impressively well. Smooth matte finish, minuscule layer lines, and a nice beige color tone. After the unfortunate waste from the first failures and the finished main project, I decided to print another small detailed project with the leftover filament. I purchased an .stl model of the gargoyle candelabras in Disney’s Haunted Mansion “stretching room”. The last two pics are the originals in Walt Disney World, for reference. (The 3D model is by SERGIMEN3DART on cults3d.) I fired off this smal-scale version before committing to a full-size print. The model is split into 7 parts. I printed them at .10 layer height on my Prusa MINI+. They came out waaaay better than I expected... especially at such a small size! It's about 160mm wide, total. I quickly removed the support material and dry-fit the parts together. No other post-processing has been done. With a couple birthday candles clutched in his fists and an appropriate perch, he's ready for some pre-paint review pics. The details are sharp and clean, and the layer lines are almost invisible to the naked eye. I've still got to do some light cleanup, then prime, paint, and weather him up. He'll be a perfect lil watch guard, sitting on the shelf above my desk to keep an eye on things and ward off bad vibes and evil spirits. ;) I'll definitely be buying more of this filament. Just gotta decide which color I could use next....

We may have ordered this filament a few times in this color, for my sons robotics team. Became the team colors quickly. The filament prints well. Holds up as good as any PLA. And ships quickly.

Update 10/04/2024: BACK AFTER 1 DAY SHY OF A YEAR! So it turns out the filament wasn't the issue, but was a hot end fan and a power supply fan that were causing the issue. Apparently they were both dying and not cooling the heat sync and/ or power supply adequately. Those were causing intermittant issues with almost all filaments other than one brand that starts with and O. This filament is printing really well currently, and havent had an issue with since doing a major overhaul of my entire hotend assembly and replacing the powersupply fan. 5 Stars for Quality of the filament 5 Stars for quality of the prints with the filament 5 Stars for Elegoo Customer Service (Though they should get 10!) 5 Stars for Elegoo all around from me! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update 10/05/23: If I could rate customer service at Elegoo, I would give it 5 stars! Very responsive, and willing to try to get issues taken care of in a timely manner. However, I am settling on a 2 star review of Elegoo's PLA and PLA+. I was sent 2 rolls of their PLA+ to replace the PLA rolls that I purchased, and spent the better part of 2 evenings experiencing the same issues that I originally had with their regular PLA (Under extrusion, clogging, etc.). I even went back and used my filament drier on both of the previously purchased rolls of PLA for 60 hours each, and still am unable to print with them. I love Elegoo, and will always recommend their resin/resin printers, but I can not recommend their filament at this time. I'm going to try to dry out the PLA+ rolls for 80 hours each and see if that makes a difference. Update 09/25/23: Adding 2 stars to my original review. Elegoo customer service was super quick and friendly with a response and reached out to me to offer an option to replace or refund my purchase. I chose to have them replace the rolls, and they stated that they would be sending out their PLA+. Will update review again once I get a chance to test out the new rolls! I bought 2 spools of the black, and printed just fine through half of the first one. Then I started having issues with adhesion, under extrusion, and clogs in my hot end. I was printing at 205C, and leved the bed between each failed print just to rule those 2 factors out. I even tried to increase the temp, but still had print failure after print failure. So I thought maybe the filament had taken on some moisture. I opened the second roll, and the SAME issues developed. I love most other Elegoo products, but would steer clear of this filament for now.

Filamento excelente

Me gustó mucho. Excelente para mi impresora 3d creality k1 máx. Soporto muy bien las altas velocidades de 250mm/s. Imprimí ese dinosaurio flexible y quedo muy bien. Sin errores

Very reliable filament. Great colour.
