First roll was amazing I made many prints I was proud of. They looked professional. Second roll I can't make a single print to the end. I have even reloaded file I previously printed and they are horrible. the material strings and is brittle. I measured the diameter and it is all over the place. I can't speak for the first roll because it was great so I didn't measure. During the first roll I was so impressed I ordered a spool of black. I measured it as well and it is all over the place. from .17 to .18 within an inch. NOT IMPRESSED. Of course this all happened towards the end of a long print. Very unhappy. I feel roll 2 cost me money. Roll 1 was awesome so good luck.

I have learned alot. I have inspected the rolls more carefully when I receive them. Amazon Basics has actually became my favorite GO TO filament. They have arrived pretty darn consistent. The others must have been a fluke. I print on an Anet ET4 with a temp of 210C and Bed 55C and WOW. I know longer worry about the filament. I have uprated my stars. Go FOR IT!!!

Customer Review: Rolls come all tangled up

Good printing filament but wound too 'perfectly'
All in all I really do like this filament. When the prints complete, they are very decent. I get the occasional bed adhesion issue, but a little rubbing alcohol on the mat makes it better. The one consistently bad thing about this filament is how it's wound on the spool. I am usually sitting right in front of my printer so I hear when the filament is getting caught on itself and I can manually roll the spool backwards to release the tension. Finally, last night, I got a breakage and failed a 9 hr print about 1 hr in. This is unacceptable. The best I can tell is that the filament is would too perfectly and when you get to the edges, there isn't a second layer put down before the winder goes back to the other side. So, it basically has a locking mechanism built in to the wrapped pattern every time you get to the edges of the roll. Some of the no-name brands I've tried and were quite happy with have a more random pattern to the wrapping and I've never had an issue. I have all sorts of filament guides and spool roller enhancements so this is a very free-flowing and guided filament going into my printer.

Finicky filament will force you to find the fitting flow for fantastic effect
Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2020
While I'm early in my 3D printing experience, this is the second filament--and brand--that I purchased, which provided me with some interesting experiences. First, the sample of filament as well as the first spool of Overture filament I purchased for my Ender 3 Pro printed wonderfully at 200/60C. However, this Amazon Basics filament was causing my extruder to continually make a loud knocking sound while producing some noticeably sub-standard results. Bumping up the temperature to 220/60C greatly reduced the intensity & frequency of the extruder kickback but didn't resolve them entirely. And my output when using the Amazon filament became a coinflip as to whether it would complete or not. The final improvement that ceased the knocking & has been steadily delivering awesome prints was when I adjusted the extruder & updated the flow value for my slicer (Cura 4.6.1). (Here is the video where I learned about measuring the extruder & adjusting the flow value: https://youtu.be/xzQjtWhg9VE). I really like the bright neon orange color which as you can see in the included picture has some translucency to it as you can make out the infill pattern. While I had some frustrations with this filament at first, it provided me with a great learning experience without dissuading me from the enjoyment of 3D printing.

Ottimo PLA ad un prezzo economico

Arrivano in una scatola in cui sono impilate le 3 bobine, non singolarmente come le altre, però singolarmente imbustate sottovuoto e separate da cartoncini, con tanto di libricino di istruzioni (inutile visto che chi stampa non ha bisogno di avvertimenti che certe parti della stampante si scaldano molto).
La convenienza, va precisato, è relativa al quantitativo di kg acquistati, infatti certi produttori sui propri siti vendono a prezzi anche piuttosto bassi se si prendono 10 o più bobine, ma su Amazon per soli 3 kg, è uno dei prezzi più bassi mai visti (nella promozione in cui li ho presi).
Il filamento è buono, la dimensione è corretta, la qualità in linea con gli altri PLA che si possono trovare dei marchi più diffusi, il colore è un bianco neutro. Stampato con una Bambulab X1C non ha dato alcun problema sia di adesione che di flusso, quindi ottimo a mio avviso.
Il vero problema per chi, come me, possiede un AMS (un sistema multibobina automatico per stampe a più colori) è la larghezza delle bobine, maggiore delle altre di marchi diffusi e purtroppo impossibile da inserire all'interno! E' un vero problema? si se si possiede una Bambulab X/P con AMS e si intende stampare un oggetto a più colori con queste bobine, no per chiunque altro la utilizzi in una stampante. E per la cronaca la si può utilizzare anche con le Bambulab, semplicemente utilizzandola senza AMS, come ho fatto io.
Nel caso ho fatto la foto dello spessore così da essere utilie a chi volesse acquistarle ed avesse problemi di dimensioni massime.
Pro:
- molto conveniente l'offerta per 3kg di PLA
- qualità del filamento
Contro:
- non adatte ad AMS
In definitiva non posso non consigliare il pacchetto in promozione, perchè è veramente conveniente, anche se non c'è molta scelta di colori. Il filamento è buono, non mi ha dato particolari problemi e anche se fosse (come successo con un filamento specifico di un produttore difettoso) il servizio clienti non avrebbe problemi a risolverli.

Des Impressions de Qualité à Prix Abordable

Bien que le filament puisse nécessiter quelques ajustements de réglage pour obtenir des résultats optimaux, j'ai été agréablement surpris par la qualité des impressions qu'il produit une fois les paramètres ajustés. Sa capacité à fondre de manière homogène et à maintenir une adhérence solide tout au long du processus d'impression témoigne de sa fiabilité. En somme, le Filament PLA Amazon Basics s'impose comme un choix judicieux pour ceux qui recherchent un filament de qualité à un prix compétitif, tout en étant prêts à ajuster les réglages pour en tirer le meilleur parti.
