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

It's nice and transparentish once printed, I'm sure it can be improves so it's user error.Would love it as a lamp diffuser or similarGood quality print direct from unboxing without a dryer

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

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 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.

Never had a filament that breaks so much. I purchased two reals of this but will never buy GiantArm again - this is terrible.The reel appears to have sections that are simply very brittle. So it'll be fine for a bit then go through a brittle section that just snaps constantly. Use a different clear PLA and haven't had a single issue. When I slowly unroll the filament I can snap it cleanly with my hands for a big, then the next section is bendy and very resistent to breaking, carry on and you get to another brittle section. This isn't a settings issue, the filament is snapping inside the PTFE tubing! This is the same on both reels.I also had multiple instances of the filament pooly aligned on the spool resulting in it jamming because the filament snagged on itself on the spool.End prints look good, it just is a ton of hassle to use because it fails so often. I'll be using a different brand from now on. Probably one of the worst filaments I've purchased.

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

Filament spool came in a sturdy brown printed box. Filament was vacuum packed with a pack of silica gel to keep it dry. A nice touch was the additional resealable bag to store the filament. The filament was tightly and very neatly wound on the spool. The proof of a good filament is in the printing. This filament did not disappoint. Usually I have to perform "Extruder Gymnastics" to get the filament to load but this filament loaded first time with no issues. BONUS! I decided to print straight out of the box at 200 nozzle temp and 50 bed. The first layer adhered to the bed nicely and correctly. Subsequent layers built very smoothly with no blobs or "snots" with good adhesion and very little stringing. Final result had a nice sheen.Yes there are cheaper filaments available but for consistency, quality and ease of use this filament is worth the little extra and I will definitely be trying others from this seller especially if the quality is consistent across their range! Definitely recommended.
