This 3D printing filament is greatly appreciated by the community for providing good quality at a very affordable price. Despite its low cost, it does not sacrifice in quality and provides quite good final prints. It is available in both 1.75 mm and 3.0 mm diameters and in different color options.
SpecsUpdate
Pros
Pro Great value for money
Costing around $20 per kg, it’s a great affordable filament in its own right: it has a stated dimensional accuracy is ±0.05mm, guaranteeing that filament diameter is consistent all the way through. The majority of filaments around this price tag does not guarantee this level of accuracy.
Pro Can be used with both 1.75 mm and 3.0 mm extruders
You can use this filament with printers that have either 1.75 mm or 3.0 mm extruders, since this filament comes in both sizes. However, the 3.0 mm version costs a few dollars more than the 1.75 mm one.
Pro Great packaging that ensures proper protection
For this filament's price, its packaging is pretty great. It comes with its own spool, uncommon for filaments in this price range. The spool is also vacuum sealed in a tight film and packed in a rigid cardboard box.
Pro Comes in 28 different colors
Hatchbox offers this filament in a total of 28 different colors, even if the exact colors available may vary for each of the versions (1.75 mm and 3.0 mm). Note that some of colors (like the wooden one) might cost a couple of dollars more than regular colors.
Cons
Con No mechanical datasheet available
The manufacturer does not offer a proper public datasheet The website itself appears unfinished and devoid of any useful technical info. A Material Safety Sheet can be found, but it contains no information regarding the mechanical properties of the filament. This is especially troublesome for academic users, such as mechanical engineers.
