PLA Filament 1.75mm, GIANTARM Classic PLA 3D Printer Filament 1kg Spool (Transparent)…

I was a little sceptical about using this as I hadn't heard of the brand before. I can say the filament is excellent and prints great using an Ender 3 clone 3d printer. I use 210degC nozzle temp with 60degC bed temp PEI build plate and have no adhesion problems. The bag it comes in is resealable and comes with silica gel to keep it dry in storage.

Nice colour, not all companies do brown. Really easy to print with no adhesion issues, stringing issues or tangles, nor did I need to dry before hand.Highly recommended

Lovely deep orange, great quality, no adhesion or stringing issues. Highly recommend this one

Nice filament, quality is fine, prints OK.I chose it for the novelty value of being 'wood' coloured hoping for some texture or interest.'Brown' or 'beige' would be more accurate. So probably won't risk the others in the range such as marble, etc.

Product arrived well packaged and sealed with the normal silica gel packet inside.Comes with a grip seal bag to store the reel in should you not use the product for some time after opening. I don't normally have issues with that but it was a nice touch to have the bag supplied in case I required it.Inspection of the windings onto the reel looked excellent, so no worries about any tangling causing issues during the prints. I have purchased PETG from this company previously and that came perfectly wound too so good to know you can trust the filament to flow freely from the spool.Played around with temps, the PLA seemed to give the best results around 190 degrees, no sign of any excessive stringing and good clean.Did some normal speed purging and the material flowed well, nice and even purging with no spitting or other issues.First print was the Olaf model.Printed at default speed on Geeetech A20, first layer adhesion was perfect on the Geeetech standard mylar sheet that comes with the printer. The purge line peeled off cleanly once cooled.The model was printed with 10% infill, the external finish was very impressive, I did part way through increase speeds by 25% and no issues were noted regarding the filament feeding through the nozzle. I have had some PLA that didn't work well at higher speeds, this seemed to cope without problems.Second print was the penguin, no infill, three outer layers, three layers top and bottom, on the same A20 printer. A few lines in the lower part of the body, but that was down to the printer itself and not the filament, the filament performed perfectly well on this print also. A very nice smooth and tactile finish on both models.Finally I decided to test it further by printing a lithophane of the Astronaut on the moon.I have had some PLA that did not print this so well, partial lines missing etc.. As you can see from the photograph it gave a great result.I have previously purchased PLA from other companies, at higher prices than this. This has performed perfectly so far, so will be my filament of choice for the future.

Absolutely dreadful experience with this filament. Before using it, my 3D printer was working perfectly, producing smooth prints without any issues. However, the moment I switched to this filament, everything went wrong.Firstly, the prints kept stopping mid-way, which was frustrating enough. Then, the nozzle became so badly clogged that it took ages to clean. Just when I thought the problem was sorted, now the motor is acting up!This filament has completely messed up my setup, causing far more trouble than it's worth. If you value your printer and your time, avoid this filament at all costs! Used on bambulab PS1 nozzle 4mm

I bought this product based on a review at All3dp on clear filaments, trying to get the most clarity available. This didn't disappoint! With PLA you're going to see the print lines on a single layer, and you'll see some frosting as a result of the lines going at right angles on 2 or more layers. But this material does let a LOT of light through, and I'm having great fun making window art with two clear base layers and then the colours on top, see photo.Behaves well on my Elegoo Neptune3 Pro printer using 210/60 temperatures and 0.2mm layers with 0.4mm nozzle, printing at full speed 60mm/s. I didn't bother with a temperature tower because there were no issues with printing on my normal settings. I normally only print with PLA+ (for the extra strength over PLA), but I couldn't find any suitable clear PLA+ so had to try this PLA. It's much more brittle than my PLA+ filaments, if you bend this filament in half it's likely to snap, and if it doesn't then it certainly will when you bend it straight again! That happened to me when I opened the pack and tried to unhook the filament from where it had been passed through the spool holes to lock it in place and was bent well back. Not really an issue though, you just need to treat it with more care than normal filaments, I think clear filament is generally considered more brittle than coloured anyway.The reel isn't as neatly wound as my usual (Elegoo) filaments which are always spectacularly neat, but it's certainly not a mess - after the first few rotations which were a bit tightly wound and needed a little help to release them, the rest seems to be printing very nicely. The filament comes off the spool with some gentle curves in places but no actual kinks at all.I would definitely buy this product again, unless I can find a similarly good clear PLA+ :o)
