Polymaker filament is perfect for my Bambu p1s the only issue is that they don’t have a uk shop and only limited colours from Amazon. There are uk stockists at a pricd

Best budget filament I’ve tried so far. Really good for prototyping

I've used a wide variety of filaments over the years, but PolyTerra PLA has truly impressed me – it's quickly become my go-to for everyday 3D printing. Here's why this filament stands out: 🛠️ Printability PolyTerra PLA prints like a dream. It has a very forgiving temperature range, excellent bed adhesion (even on non-heated beds), and rarely warps. The first layer goes down smooth, and the layers fuse beautifully, giving clean results with sharp details. Even complex prints come out great with minimal tuning. 🌈 Surface Finish The finish is matte and silky, giving prints a professional look straight off the bed. It hides layer lines better than glossy PLA and feels amazing to the touch. Whether you're printing models, prototypes, or functional parts, the finish makes them look high-end. 🎨 Color Range PolyTerra offers a gorgeous selection of colors, including natural tones, pastels, and deep, vibrant hues. The consistency between spools is great, so you can trust that your colors will match print after print. 💰 Great Value Despite all these features, it's very reasonably priced, making it perfect for both beginners and professionals. You're getting quality that rivals premium filaments, without the high cost. ✅ Final Verdict: PolyTerra PLA is an outstanding filament – easy to print, beautiful in finish, and environmentally conscious. Whether you’re just starting out or printing daily, this filament delivers consistent, high-quality results while supporting a more sustainable future. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – Highly Recommended

This PLA popped up on an offer when I was looking for a light blue filament. It has a nice soft, almost creamy looking appearance and feel and is well-wound on a cardboard reel. Although a print range of 190-230 degrees is specified I printed a temp tower using the Cura configuration extension for 190-220 on my Ender 5 Pro. As I hope it shows in my photo, the tower came out excellent at all temperatures, the first time I have seen one quite this good, and I had difficulty identifying any real difference between the levels but have settled on 205 as my default temp. A retraction test gave a couple of very light wispy strings at the tips. I will next try it in my FLSun QQ-S which has been a bit more choosy about filament than the Ender. I expect to use this as my main filament brand for PLA in future, it certainly gives the best results I have had including from some well known brands. Afaik this is a fairly new product and most of the colours are somewhat pastelly - hopefully this soon expands.

First of all, this PLA is superb, I haven't had a single failed print and the prints feel much better to touch than the cheaper stuff. However, this colour is somewhere between light grey and clay (the grey sort, not the sandy coloured clay). I use my 3d printer for things where the colour doesn't have to be spot on, so I can work with it, but it was definitely an "oh..." moment when I opened the box and saw the shade though.

prints well. and defiantly looks a peanut butter colour. (i kinda print higher temp on my filament. but its still like " smothe peanut butter")

This is the best filament I have used so far. Once the printer was calibrated the quality of prints from this filament is impeccable. The mini mountains in the uploaded image are printed with a 0.3mm nozzle and 0.12mm layer height at a nozzle temperature of 200c. There is no oozing present, there were a handful of over-extrusion blobs in the top layers that were easily picked off. But I don't see this as a drawback considering the complex top layers of my mountains. A Cardboard reel really makes this an eco friendly option. I would class this as a premium matt finish without a premium price tag.

Poly Terra never disappoints. Great premium filament for beginners and professionals

Ottimo pla.colore bellissimo.si stampa benissimo e la finitura è ottima

Je suis très satisfait de ce filament PolyTerra PLA de chez Polymaker. Dès l’ouverture, la bobine en carton recyclé donne une bonne première impression écoresponsable. Le conditionnement est soigné, sans vrille ni emmêlement du filament. Lors de l’impression, le filament s’extrude parfaitement à 200°C avec un plateau à 60°C, exactement dans les plages recommandées. L’adhérence au plateau (verre + colle bâton pour ma part) est très bonne, et le filament ne présente aucun warping, même sur des impressions longues. La finition est mate comme annoncée, ce qui donne un rendu professionnel, sans reflet plastique cheap. La couleur rouge est profonde, uniforme et très esthétique sur les pièces finales. Aucun bouchage de buse à signaler, et les couches se lient de manière propre et homogène, même à vitesse élevée (60 mm/s). J’ai imprimé plusieurs pièces fonctionnelles et décoratives, et la résistance mécanique est au rendez-vous, tout en gardant une bonne précision. Mention spéciale pour la faible odeur à l’impression, ce qui est très appréciable en usage domestique. C’est un filament fiable, propre, agréable à utiliser et respectueux de l’environnement. Je recommanderai sans hésiter, et j’envisage d’acheter d’autres couleurs de la gamme PolyTerra.

Kleur en materiaal is goed echter de rol is met het karton niet bruikbaar in AMS systemen, voorheen kon je de zijkanten erafhalen en op een recyclbare spoelhouder zetten, echter heeft de fabrikant de diameter van de spoel intern veranderd waardoor deze te veel speling heeft in de AMS houder en niet meet terug oprolt. tevens was de rol erg slecht gewikkeld , heb helaas 25% van me spoel weg kunnen gooien na continu laadproblemen te hebben gehad

I originally purchased this because it's supposed to be a close match to Milwaukee Tool red. I wanted to make some accessories for my garage to organize my bits and pieces, and so far it definitely appears it's a nice match for the matte red color that Milwaukee uses on its tools. And, at $20/kg, it doesn't break the bank compared to some premium or specialty filaments out there. Aside from liking the red color and matte finish, I had excellent experiences with this filament: • Printed with a 0.5mm hardened steel nozzle, I used nozzle at 220°C, bed at 50°C • If adhesion is an issue, which I ran into when printing lines only 2 walls thick with no infill or other connections, I did need a light film of purple glue stick. That stuck down very well. • Stringing was nearly nonexistent for me. I had a tiny bit of light fuzz where retractions and travel moves happened, but that was it. I can easily burn that off with a quick touch of a torch. • Cardboard spool is a great touch to cut down on plastic trash in landfills. • Polymaker also supplies technical info on testing and composting for their PLA filament. I haven't tested for dimensional accuracy, but that's not a major concern for my use cases. There's probably enough tolerance in my printer's movements and belts that I wouldn't notice a huge difference anyway. The matte finish is excellent. It has just a small amount of sheen, but definitely isn't glossy except for the bottom layer on a smooth PEI bed. Overall, I'm very happy with this filament. It is excellent value for the price, and I've already ordered more to continue organizing my garage workspace. Update 6/19/2024: I've continued using this filament for various battery and tool holders, and it has been excellent. Prints well, nearly zero stringing, no clogs, no tangles, the cardboard spools have been fine. Overall, it's my go-to filament for my tool-related projects.

Worst filament I've tried so far. I usually get fairly predictive results from my Creality Ender 3 V3 SE but using this one I got not a single usable print. Might work fine for other printers, didn't get anything usable out of it on mine though.
