HATCHBOX 1.75mm Forest Green PLA 3D Printer Filament, 1 KG Spool, Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.03 mm, 3D Printing Filament

The results I've had from this filament have been excellent. I will definitely buy again.

Absolutely fantastic, cannot recommend enough.I've used may be a good 15 different brands over the years and always thought i had decent results, a lot of prepping before painting, hours and hours of it!! In the middle of printing a 4foot model of the Enterprise E at the moment and bought some Hatchbox to continue with it after reading reviews. OMG it's like night and day with all other filaments i have used before, my prepping is now cut in half, it flows brilliant, and produces a very very good finish. Now my new go to filament.

Way too many things goes wrong with this product.Never again.

The media could not be loaded.  I was nervous to buy this as I've had a few recent issues with PLA from Amazon. When it came, it looked extremely thin compared to my best rolls, so I didn't hold out much hope for it being tidy and not creating loose layers.I was so wrong.This is by far the best PLA I've ever used. I design and print 1/16-1/24 miniatures and it's the best quality I've ever got out of my printer. Really tight rows, good adhesion, and a shiny finish. It's a little brittle on thinner parts, and a little harder to sand than others, but it's easily my new favourite go-to. Going to get some more colours soon. (Also, this was the first test print of something I designed in tinkercad and honestly, I've never had a first test print this successful. I printed at 185º which is slightly lower than usual for me, but it worked nicely.)

Nice colour and adhesion. I didn't have any issues with how the spool was wound or brittleness

It tangles on the spool stopping printing , wouldn't buy again

When you are pretty new to a hobby, you need a product that is easy to use, and this doesn’t disappoint. I printed a temperature tower to get my setting right with the product, and there was very little difference throughout the recommended range, so little that I had to double check that I hadn’t printed the whole tower at the same temperature setting. It might not mean much from a professional standpoint, but to an amateur, having a pretty wide range that the product remains stable and useable means that it’s less messing around to get things set up right. Some other brands that I’ve tried have had pretty narrow temperature ranges to get a good result.On top of this, the finish was clean, adhesion was excellent, no shrinkage at the corners that I’ve had with other brands, and no nasty smells while printing.I definitely understand why it’s rated so highly, even if it is a bit higher priced than the competition.Reliable and easy to use, shame it’s now out of stock when I need another roll of black.

Hatchbox is now my go to filament. Great opacity, great performance at a good price.This filament measured 1.73 to 1.74mm consistently. I found that it very slightly under-extruded but sorted that with 1.02 flow rate multiplier in Slic3r - maybe something to do with this particular pigment.Prints very well at around 205°C on either heated or non-heated bed, with no odour. Slight gloss finish, good adhesion especially on blue tape.I've tried Rigid.ink PLA and there is very little between the two. If Rigid.ink was a similar price then I'd buy that but it's nearly twice the price on Amazon.The filament comes in a good quality box and is vac-packed with silica gel. The box and reel are colour coded so you can see at a glance what the filament colour is - nice touch.Test photo 20mm cube: 0.4mm layer, 0.5mm nozzle @ 205°C with 3mm retraction on 3+ year old RepRapPro Ormerod.
