ANYCUBICPLA Filament 1.75mm, 3D Printer Filament, Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.02mm, 1KG Spool

The media could not be loaded.  My primary 3D printer is the  Anycubic i3 Mega  and has given me nothing but great prints (providing the settings are on point) so I had high expectation from their own brand of PLA. I received both the Orange and the  Black . Even though the photos and video I've uploaded feature the orange, I have played around with both and found them equal in quality.The black is more like a slate black; with the orange also a little more toned down as opposed to the electric neon oranges I've bought from other brands - I don't have to squint to look at this roll. The finish is more semi-gloss/satin rather than a high shine or a complete matt, sitting inbetween. The feel of the rolled PLA and finished prints is silky smooth to the touch too.Regarding the tolerances, I found the filament was almost entirely 1.75mm and although stated there's a 0.2mm+/- tolerance, this could go down to 1.71mm. However in all my time 3D printing, an extra 10 microns is not going to cause you any issues. I didn't find many areas where it exceeded 1.75mm either. I've had much more expensive PLAs that although performed great, had greater dimensional variations than the Anycubic.I decided to print a low-poly Charmander as my first test - it definitely suited the orange well. I printed this at a 0.2mm layer height (maximum res for the i3 Mega). It's worth noting for anyone relatively new to 3D printing that I have been perfecting my Cura (slicer software) settings for almost a year and even now I still fiddle with them. 99/100 print errors are because your settings are wrong rather than it being a problem with your filament (often just slow your print down to improve quality).Anycubic recommend printing between 190-220c. I'm used to printing at 175-185c but decided to punt for 200c and found this was definitely the best temperature resulting in no warping or stringing. Anycubic also recommend a print speed between 50-100m/s; in my opinion, this is far too fast. I printed the Charmander in 45~ minutes at 15% infill and 25m/s speed. From this, the support snapped away easily and there was absolutely no stringing, layer issues or any of the common gripes associated with FDM 3D printing. Just make sure you have your retraction settings setup well - this applies to all filament.As you can see in my video montage, the PLA comes out like butter, seriously, if I didn't know better, I'd try and eat it (don't!). It's smooth, bubble-free and settles on the build plate and subsequent layers like it's being gently smoothed on. At 0.2mm layer height, there are almost no layer lines and the Charmander does not immediately feel like a 3D printed part at all.Overall I am mega impressed. As PLA prices are coming down dramatically, this is not the cheapest and whilst definitely not the most expensive, it has the same quality and feel of the ultra-premium plastics.N.B. I was sent the PLA by Anycubic who asked if I'd like to try it out as I had emailed them to order some spare fans for my printer. There was no pressure to give a good review and no offer of compensation (money or product) if I did. I'm putting the effort into this review because I am hugely passionate about 3D printing and finding good PLA is like gold-dust.

I was really pleased with this filament and even more pleased when anycubic offered me some shopsoiled filament in return for some photos of the prints. I was happy to send them some images, then....they wanted a 5* review and when I objected they said that I could post any review I wished.I like the filament, I didn't get any incentives for my review, but be aware that may not be true of all reviews of anycubic products because of the way that they operate.

The media could not be loaded.  When printing a complex working clock escapement on my Anycubic i3 Mega-S, I decided to use Anycubic original PLA 1.75mm Filament. Previous use of their filament never let me down, unlike other PLA's. All the components, including springs and gears were printed with their PLA using a 0.4 nozzle. The gears needed to be smooth and accurate and the springs strong and consistent throughout their length. The finished project is first class and works precisely as designed. As always with the Anycubic Ultrabase, adhesion to the base is excellent.From my experience with Anycubic Filament on my i3 Mega-S, I will only use Anycubic filament and can highly recommend it.

I have an AnyCubic i3 Mega and have used the supplied filament and a couple of other manufacturers. I wanted a true blue and decided to try the AnyCubic blue filament. It comes nicely packaged in a sealed bag with a silica gel bag to keep it dry during transport.The filament, cold out of the box, is very flexible always a good sign I think and I found it easy to load into the machine and using the lower end of the printing range 190oC hotend and 50oC bed it printed really well and produced a good blue colour with a nice matt lustre finish.There was no noticeable smell during the print and no stringing or surface artefacts which should make finishing items easier.I’m very pleased with the product and would likely buy other colours in the range as the need arises.Update: I bought the “skin” colour, a very light pink and black. Both printed well, the skin having a lustre finish and the black a more shiny surface. Both were printer at 190/50 with no issues and again very little smell. The colours as printer are similar to the colour on the reel, I’ve used some that look good on the reel and print very much lighter.2nd Update: I’ve been using the “silver” PLA recently and once more I’m impressed with the quality of the filament. I’ve tried this at Head/bed temperatures 200/60 and my usual 190/50 and it works well at either settings, I prefer the lower temperatures as any smell is minimised. The colour has a good sliver hue almost a semi metallic lustre. I’ve attached an image of a printed tank track which is 0.2 draft mode using an AnyCubic i3 Mega, it’s a bout 75mm long and shows good detail with few actifacts, this is straight off the printer.3rd Update: just printed the “orange” filament using my normal print head/bed temperatures of 190/50oC and prints just as good as the previous filaments. There is no smell at these settings and the print quality straight off the printer, no finishing, is great. I printed a Flexi-Rex, see attached photo. I like the colour which is a good “orange” colour and very similar to the reel colour. As with all the other AnyCubic filaments I’ve bought this comes well packaged in a vacuum sealed bag with Silica Gel and enclosed in a cardboard box.
