HATCHBOXMatte PLA 3D Printer Filament, Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.03 mm, 1 kg Spool, 1.75 mm, Gray

Filamento de gran calidad y fiabilidad.El aspecto mate es espectacular.

I was loyal to Hatchbox filaments since 2016, but no more. They use to be the best all-around PLA filament but now I wouldn't even use it if it were given to me free. They were always more expensive than the other companies but at least the quality was there. Now they're the most expensive and quality went downhill. Pay elsewhere folks.

I have used Hatchbox PLA, specifically this gray since 2018 in my Ender 3. Once I had my settings dialed in I have always loved the results. I bought 2 rolls in October/November to finish a large project. Opening the first box I could feel the material was different/softer. I had multiple prints fail die to under extrusion. I troubleshoot every possibility. Occasionally a small print would be fine, but my extruder would be covered in shavings. I finally gave up & sent the rest of the project to a friend to print.Months later I decided to just do top to bottom maintenance and try again. I got one small print to not be terrible but each after under extrusion. I grabbed the last bit of Hatchbox PLA I had from a previous roll, barely anything left. The print came out perfectly. The issue is the Hatchbox PLA I bought at the end of 2022 is too soft & gets chewed up by the extruder making it difficult to extrude the pla constantly.I’m going to have to switch brands because I can’t even return these two rolls as I had to open the second one to check if it had the same problem.

Bought two rolls of the same color, but the 2nd was significantly darker than the first, leaving a line across my print. Not the easiest to work with, and tends to ooze more than other filaments I've used.

My go to filament always has consistent prints
