Typically I would just buy whatever brand had the cheapest white color PLA (I like to paint my print) and quality wasn’t always top of mind. Now I have several prints that I want to do in all kids of different colors and quality matters. Given the new color and quality requirements, it no longer makes sense to get the cheapest.

What brand is of good to excellent quality that also offers a decent range of colors?

I mostly run my prints through Ender 3 Pros

Edit: Thank you for everyone’s suggestions! Certain brands are being recommended often so I’m going to start experimenting with those! Keep being awesome!

      Jealous!

      I live 4 hours from the nearest microcenter. I still make the drive periodically.

        They ship their filament for free. That’s how I get mine because I’m 5+ hours from the nearest store

          Yeah I know, and maybe it’s my imagination, but it seems like the stuff I get in store is better than the stuff I get online.

            Definitely your imagination. Microcenter isn’t doing anything but rebranding eSun or Polymaker made filament.

      I also use Inland, haven’t had any issues with the filament. All the problems are my printer settings.
