3ideaPLA Filament (Yellow)

So far I've used several spools of eSun and some Elegoo with no issues. Wanted to give this a shot since it is slightly cheaper at the moment, and they have a selection of colors, but this 3idea filament is terrible in comparison to eSun and Elegoo. I'm having trouble just getting the Orcaslicer calibration prints to finish without failing because the print is coming apart. Retraction test went fine, did temp tower which came out OK except for overhangs which were very ugly, did the pressure advance test to dial that in as well, tried to do flow rate test but couldn't complete that without the print being pulled off the bed. I guess I can get this working with the right setup, swapping for a glass build plate and using glue etc, but for now I'm giving it 1 star because it does not seem worth the hassle as the price difference between this and better brands isn't that significant.I'm going to put this in my filament dryer overnight to see if that helps, if it does I'll update my review, but for now it's 1/5 stars for me.

Ordered the Red one, it seems to be made from recycled material, the fabrication process seems to be uneven where as the filament is cracked in multiple places, printing causes uneven layers due to the mismatch in the amount of filament per mm, not every mm contains the same amount of filament, the variation in thickness is very high not the same as the advertised amount of +/- 0.03.

With any other brand filament i had no problems until i put this filament in. Popping sounds from the extrusion(could be humid filament), uneven thickness, adhesion problems. At first i Thought it was my printer and spent 3 days trying to fine tune my printer and slicer settings until i realized this is the only roll I had of this brand.As soon as i switched to my regular quality filament all my issues were gone and everything was back to normal and perfect. I am never buying this brand of filament again. To anyone reading this, you've been warned.

First time I have ordered this brand and the last. Straight out of the box and it seems to be wet? Lots of gaps when I print my 20mm calibration cube. Will have to dry it and try again. Most other filaments work 95% with a small tweak. This one, even with tweaks I'd say 5%.

not recommend

This is my first fillament so idk but looks ok

Good prints off of the spool. Nozzle temp needs to be amped up for better layer adhesion. I keep it at 215, works good for me

In spite of minor adhesion and spaghetti problems I would recommend this as quite OK considering the price.

When it works, it's perfect. Just the usual fine tuning in slicing software be enough to get consistent prints of satisfactory quality. However when going for prints taking longer than 4hrs it is prone to clogging a bit too much for my liking.

The airtight package on the filiments was punctured causing moisture to be absorbed by the filiment, now I'm getting horrible prints air bubbles runing prints. Really disappointed. No quality control what so ever..Not recommended filiment, i can't replace it now cause I need it to complete a project on a deadline.
