Opret 3D Printer Filament 1.75 mm PLA 1 kg Spool, Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.05 mm, High Purity Filament, Green

UPDATE: I have now updated this review to 4 stars from one star… The reasons being that the company made an effort to reach out to me and resolve the issue to my satisfaction… And also once I repaired my printer, I tried the filament again for some additional parts and it seems to be working better… I still think the original issue was due to the filament being out of spec at some point and causing a major jam… But subsequent measuring and use of the filament indicates that this might have been a one-off issue (well, more than a one-off, since I had several jams in the firstquarter roll, but you get the idea). Anyway, considering the company went out of their way to make me happy, I am willing to give them the benifit of the doubt. However, I am leaving the bulk of my original review below in the interest of trying to be as informative as possible.Original Review: I use ALOT of low-cost filament… So I know what to expect when I purchase a budget PLA… However this filament set an all new low (specifically in regards to clogging up my extruder). I am barely 150 g into this spool and already I have had several serious jams in my extruder… One so bad that I had to replace a part. This is just unacceptable… Obviously the diameter varies greatly … But you might be talking 10 meters between significant variations so it’s impossible to predict when your print will fail.I am printing items that only require 40g of filament and so far out of six prints I have gotten two completed ones… Two partial ones (failures)… And two that failed after only a couple of layers.I simply cannot recommend this filament at any price… It’s simply is not worth the hassle… And that says a lot coming from me because I generally buy budget PLA and so I am willing to deal with the tweaking issues (trial and error) that they usually require.

Got 3 rolls 2 were ok last was wet. Lots of popping from the print head telling me it has moisture in it. Disappointed

Has a few kinks, but decent filament. I don't love it; I don't hate it. If you are the kind of person who wants the perfect part, find a better filament.

For $11.99, it's about what I expected. I had to kick the extrusion multiplier up to 1.15, and will try 1.2 on my next print. For rapid fit-tests and prototypes of things that will probably end up in the trash, it's perfect. For other things that just need to exist and sit there, like little containers or small use things, there's no reason to not use it. I'm used to using Premium ABS and PETG, so a cheap PLA isn't a challenge at all to compensate for in comparison to other materials. 0.3mm first layer height helped as well. I'd probably gripe some if it were a $20 spool, but that's not what this is.EDIT: So about 1/5th through the roll it became unusable, clogged extruder, and just completely botched everything it touched. I'm experienced in printing with ABS, HIPS, and PETG, and of course PLA. No matter what I couldn't get it to work right and now I have a new extruder assembly on the way.

No problems and I'm very happy with this filament. I've bought three other brands of filament that use this exact same reel and the same ideal temperature (judged using a temp tree print) and, while that's no guaranty that they're the same brand, they certainly feel like it. The others had higher tolerance quality (.03 vs Opret's .05), and the Opret had a slighly higher ideal temperature, but the Opret worked and printed just as well, and was a couple dollars cheaper. Definitely worth buying again!

Printed very well on my Anet a8 3d printer and its adhesion to glass build was perfect. It only had a little defect from moisture but otherwise a great product.

Edit:Returned all that I bought. Turns out the QA on this brand is not working h the price.Filament prints really well. Only gripe I have is the first roll I'm on the diameter ranges from 1.68 to 2.1. I have impulse bought 4 rolls total because I likes the price and don't mind giving the new stuff a try. However if the second roll is just as inconsistent diameter wise then I will be returning what I have left. I will update this review once I check the next roll out

One of the 1st filaments I ever bought, and it remains to be the highest quality filaments I have ever bought. I will continue looking for better, but this filament is superior in quality, looks, and price to anything I have seen.Highly recommend to both beginners and veterans alike looking for a reliable and cheap filament.EDIT: I Really hope they bring this stuff back cus this is the best stuff ive seen please come back Opret!
