3D Prima PrimaValue PLA Filament, 1.75 mm, 1 kg Spool, White

I bought the Dark Gray colour. At first I was having a really hard time getting it to print. Many many many failed attempts. It didn't print with any of my usual PLA configuration. I was suspicious that it wasn't PLA at all so I did a few tests. I used acetone and it didn't melt or break down as I would expect from ABS which was a good sign. I also tried burning a sample with a lighter. It for sure does't smell like PLA so who knows.Any way for those of you who are having trouble I'm now getting near perfect results.The main settings I changed in Cura:- I first selected draft settings in Cura and created a copy so I could save the configuration for later use.- Layer height: 0.2- Wall Thickness: 0.8- Top and Bottom Thickness: 0.8- Infill: 25 (Personal preference)- Printing Temp: 250c - This is important as for some reason this filament has a higher melting point- Build Plate Temp: 50c- Diameter: 1.75mm- Flow: 90% - This is important as my nozzle was getting clogged almost every print- Enable Retraction: True- Retraction Distance: 3mm - This is just as important as the Flow setting- Print Speed: 60mm/s- Travel Speed: 120mm/sEverything else is default.The most important parts are the Printing Temp, Flow, and Retraction Distance.Some of the settings are hidden so you need to press the gear icon next to the section name and then tick the corresponding option to reveal it. If in doubt google how to reveal these settings and you should be fine.Happy printing!!!!All in all after the stress of figuring out these settings I'm am very pleased with the product.

My first printer filament. Initially gave very poor prints but this was due more to my inexperience of the hardware and software setups of my Geeetech Prusa i3 Acrylic printer.I notice that several users have given poor reviews as the filament can come off the reel and tangle during printing. I get the same thing happening with my garden hose and mains cable extension reel. Not the fault of the filament, hose or cable in my opinion, just the way it's unwound.I made up a guide using a wire coat hanger, tarpaulin eyelets and some gardening wire to ensure it always feeds from the middle of the reel. No tangle problems! The weird reel holder came with the printer.Very happy so far.

Bought this to try it out as it was cheap.Layer adhesion is not great. Signs of underextrusion but it's definitely the filament, not the printer or settings. Lots of weird partial failure and inconsistency. Expect to find some random spaghetti blobs here and there, it's pretty weird. Bed adhesion seems fine but after that you never know what will happen. I'd say about 10 to 20 percent of prints have some sort of failure or serious problems. With my normal PLA+ I never have any issues. I have printed the same thing several times to see if it was settings or such but no, it varies print to print. Perhaps with simple geometry, nothing that is fine detailed or at all challenging, you be able to use it.It was an experiment, I was interested to see if it would be any good, save some money, why not. Sadly, it's not too good. I shall stick it back in its box and keep it in case I run out or such like, but apart from that I don't think I will use it ever again. It will print out a calibration cube fine but in real use, it's just too hit or miss for my liking.For a few pounds extra, you could get E-sun PLA+ . That's what I normally use, it is way better and never gives me any issues. Considering the time to reprint the odd part and odd results you get from time to time, I can't recommend you buy it. But it is cheap and if you can live with the issues, maybe. But really, I'd suggest you get something else as I already mentioned.

I'd been using RigidInk filament for a couple of months, but saw this suggested on My Amazon. To say it's that much cheaper than RigidInk, I was really pleased with the prints I got with this filament. I'm running a hacked Chinese Prusa I3 clone with a bowden and E3D head and this stuff prints like a dream at 205 degrees on my rig. It never tangles, the filament diameter is very consistent, the colour is consistent too, and layer bonding is perfect, even for structural parts with high infill. I've got white, grey, black, orange and green and they all behave exactly the same - reliable, predictable and great bed adhesion at 50 degrees with a PVA wash on the bed (to the point where I have to chisel off parts with large bed contact area). There are so many different PLA makers at the moment, and I'd put Prima pretty close to the top of the pile for quality and consistency, even compared of more expensive filament.

I am unable to get a decent print with this filament. Spent the best part of two days trying varying all the parameters that would make a difference. I don't give up easily. I have confined this to the bottom of my filament box. With the next delivery it will be put in the bin! If anyone knows how to get this to print please enlighten me. I am using a highly modified AM8 with a E3D V6 hotend (remote extruder)
