Monoprice Premium 3D Printer Filament PLA 1.75mm 1kg/spool Gray

I've printed a number of 3d parts now with the Monoprice PLA filament to compare it to the equivalent Hatchbox PLA. I found the Monoprice PLAi to be every bit as good for substantially less cost. The finish of the Monoprice PLA also has more of a matte finish than the Hatchbox filament which has more sheen to it. I'm very pleased with the less expensive Monoprice PLA filament.

I was trying to find clear PLA filament and thankfully came across the Monoprice crystal clear PLA - I use a Monoprice Maker Plus III so having something specifically made for it's extruder was really helpful! The results are just as I'd hoped for, though I'm still tweaking my settings to see just how close to 'crystal' I can get with my prints. I've already done a 'vase' print of a bust and was very satisfied with the result! I'll only buy clear filament from Monoprice from now on, so I hope that you continue this item!

Simply the best filament I?ve used so far. Never had any issues with. Just bought a new Ender 3 Mac and right out of the box printed the Monoprice Premium filament using general settings for the Ender in Cura 4.10. I?m only buying this filament going forward.

Definitely a quality filament, I have only had minor problems with stringing but that's probably due to settings ( I'm fairly new to 3D printing) . I only gave 4 stars due to my inexperience with filaments but I would definitely recommend this product to a friend.

I've got about 5 different spools right now and I've been printing a lot, but none of the colors have given me nearly as many problems as the white filament does! it's so brittle it cracks if I handle it rough and sometimes just snaps on its own if I wiggle the table. prints with it are very smooth, as someone else mentioned, but completely unforgivingly unflexible. in hindsight my friend warned me about this, but I thought I'd give it a try anyway. I suggest using the clear or grey filament instead of white, since they're both much sturdier!

First and foremost MP filament has always served me very well, by in large this isn't much of an exception with the following caveats. 1. I've had a few spools of this now and the color seems to vary between batches pretty noticably - not a HUGE deal but noticable for sure. The current batch is much darker blue than the last batch. The attached cable chain image shows it pretty clearly. 2. This more than any other color seems to be picky when it comes to printing clean. With the same exact gcode I get very clean prints with white, black and orange MP filament but this one is just a touch stringy and less clean. Not quite sure what the story is there.

Printed color was way darker and dull in comparison to any of the pictures listed on their website. The filament prints best at higher temps 210 seemed to work the best for me but for what ever reason this filament didnt handle details as well im assuming it doesnt melt as evenly as the others but it may have been this roll specifically. When the roll arived it was semi brittle and would break with my fingers instead of bending this is not the only roll i bought from monoprice but it was the only roll i had problems out of it printed pretty consistantly stringy

On our second run with this blue filament, it started breaking inside the machine and I had to remove the feeder tube to get the piece out. I then started to manually pull some of the filament off of the spool and it was almost shattering in my hand. Half of the entire spool ended up breaking off from the spool. This product is of extremely poor quality and will not buy filament from monoprice again.

I bought this because Amazon was out of stock and I'd rather wait for Amazon to restock then buy this again. First, the filament is gets tangled to easily and throws off the print. Second, I had no problem with the smell when I bought off Amazon, this smells a lot. Third, this filament is so brittle. I was trying to take off the support from the print and when I did the entire print broke in half. This product is not premium. Buy Hatchbox instead of this.

After the small spool I got with my MP Voxel ran out, I tried the Amazon filament first without success. From a recommendation from another teacher, I went with Hatchbox and have never had a problem. However, Hatchbox is severely backordered so I decided to go with the Monoprice filament. Tried numerous configurations of heat, speed etc and no adhesion. Very poor results.
