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!
I’ve had a lot of success with atomic filament. It is a little more expensive, but it’s US made. Push plastic is another US based brand I’ve had a lot of success with.
Both are $30 for their 1 kg spools, but they both offer 3 kg spools at a better price point per kg. I personally like larger spools. It helps me avoid the fear of hitting the bottom of the spool as often and I usually only need one color at a time.
