Polymaker Matte PLA Filament Savannah Yellow 1.75mm 1kg 3D Printing Filament, PolyTerra 3D Printer PLA Filament

Prints beautifully, clean, the blackest black. Has a carbon filament look to it. In direct light, almost looks dark gray. The matte finish is sublime. It hides all sorts of sins in the print. When I got this, it was sealed in a bag. Didn't even dry it. Just threw it into the printer and did a 7 hour print. Works so well. Just an outstanding filament. So easy to work with, and makes beautiful prints. The default profile for the Polymaker PLA in Orca works just fine. I tried to capture a few pics of the surface finish, but it's so smooth the camera can't focus on it.

Normally, I don't go out of my way to write a review unless I really feel like a product deserves it. This is one of the few cases where something works perfectly and does exactly what it claims to do. I am honestly shocked at how good prints with this have come out. I don't have a picture to attach at the moment, but I printed a little cat sculpture model I found online as a test and I was totally blown away by how smooth it looked and felt. So far, every single print I have made with this stuff has come out smooth with no visible layer lines even with a 0.6mm extruder. It's not even just that it *looks* smooth, it even *feels* smooth. I was expecting this to let me down but instead it has totally exceeded my expectations and has been consistently producing high quality, smooth, prints that don't even feel like they were 3D printed. Tl;dr: it does exactly what it advertises and does it extremely well. If you're for some reason on the fence about this filament and are skimming through reviews, just buy it. It's totally worth it. I was able to use the preset for PolyTerra PLA in OrcaSlicer and have been getting flawless prints. I'm using a Flashforge ADM5 Pro for my printer but comparing this to other filaments I believe this can likely achieve flawless prints on any printer and does not seem to have any issues with stringing or adhesion. I recommend using a textured plate as it gives a nice texture on the bottom surface of the print that totally hides any hint of layer lines on the bottom. The only issue I encountered with this filament is that it adhered to my plate a little too well, so when I had a print fail after the first layer because of a printer issue it was extremely difficult to remove this stuff from the plate. In terms of completing a print, this is definitely a pro as I have no worries about it detaching during the print... but if for some reason you need to remove this after one or two layers be prepared for a fight lol

My go-to filament for any kind of project. It is not the fastest or the strongest, but it will deliver a high quality print every time. I support the PolyTerra eco-friendly initiative and believe that for everyday prints materials like these are much better for the environment. The matte finish helps hide layer lines, so finished prints look very uniform and consistent. After a bit of testing I found it prints best around 195-200 degrees with little oozing and decently fast extrusion of around 15mm^3/s. The width is a consistent 1.75 mm so my extrusion multiplier is 1.0 and my nozzle hasn't had a clog yet with this filament.

I love this brand. First, cardboard spool instead of plastic. I love that. Very well wound, very accurate thickness, prints beautiful. Prints easy. I have no stringing. Super high quality and a good price. Well worth the money. I use this brand almost exclusively these days. They make a great 3d printing plastic.

First, let's talk about the actual filament material. It seems great. It comes out matte (using Matte Gray .. Grey for most other English countries), which allows for consistent sheen no matter what temperature or speed you print at (something gloss PLA's struggle with). I've been able to get some really good-looking parts with it. Side note, I've been able to print it very fast on the X1C using a forked PolyMaker profile (has max volumetric set at 22 mm³/s). Material property wise seems to line up with what PolyMaker says, it has slightly more flexibility in terms of resisting a bend, but it's also very stiff, so be sure to design your parts to have the proper geometry to allow for flexing if you need that property, right angles will elongate (discolor) slightly before the material fails. All that seems great, why 4 out of 5 stars? I docked a star because PolyMaker still has a wide tolerance threshold of +/- 0.05mm when many other manufacturers at this price point are promising (and delivering) +/- 0.02mm. My roll measured 1.78mm at the beginning and 1.77mm with periodic 1.76mm measurements about halfway through it. That may not seem like much, but it's enough to add little defects to a print as the slicer can't compensate since 3d Printers don't have a filament diameter feedback loop (yet?), it all has to be precalculated. This becomes more evident if you're using Archane instead of Classic Mode, because dimensional accuracy plays a bigger roll for thinner features. This inconsistency is why I docked it a star.

excellent

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

Filament färgen är matt precis som bilden. Utskrift på Bambu Lab AMS blev perfekt.

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.
