ANYCUBIC PLA 3D Printer Filament, RFID 3D Printing PLA Filament 1.75mm Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.02mm, 1KG Spool (2.2 lbs), Texture Grey

This is hands down one of the best filaments I’ve used! ANYCUBIC PLA lives up to its name—prints fast, with minimal stringing, and the quality is consistently smooth and clean. It feeds beautifully, sticks well to the bed, and handles overhangs and detail impressively. Great color and finish too. I’m seriously impressed and will definitely be buying more. Highly recommend for anyone running faster print speeds without sacrificing quality!

I've been printing for years, and this is absolutely the worst filament I've ever used. Before it totally clogs the nozzle, it starts coming out like cotton candy. Flow starts out good but gradually decreases during the print. The first print failed at the end of the second day of a three day print. I changed some settings as well as the tension on my direct drive extruder. I swapped out my hardened steel nozzle for a brass nozzle. I also changed my perimeters so the print would only take two days. Once again, everything started out fine, but when I checked the following morning, the extruder was floating around in mid-air with another big ball of cotton candy stuck to it.There's also a problem with bed adhesion. Prior to these two failed prints, I had four failed starts. The filament immediately started lifting off the print bed in the first attempt. I cleaned the glass bed and tried again, only for another fail. So I grabbed the hairspray, which didn't help at all, so I cranked up the bed temperature 10 degrees and along with the hairspray, that solved the adhesion problem.This stuff definitely isn't worth the trouble.UPDATE: So they sent me another roll of the exact same junk and I got the exact same results. Read every negative feedback and you'll see a recurring theme.UPDATE to the UPDATE: So it turns out that I had a direct drive extruder motor going bad. After purchasing a new printer, I decided to give this filament another try. It prints PERFECTLY on the new printer! My apologies to Anycubic for the bad review.

The media could not be loaded. Good quality for the price, has been open for a few months and still dry and quality prints. Full color but did good for Lithophanes letting just enough light through to see detail

Like many first-time 3D printers, I pretty much assumed that all PLA filament is the same, so I tended to just go with the least expensive. Eventually I decided to try out the Anycubic grey filament and was astounded at the qualitative different. M prints come out smoother, with a very nice luster and fine details are more readable.Additionally, there is no segmenting of the filament into tiny hair-like strands, the printer, without adjustment from the previous brands, lays out a continuous smooth and predictable line of PLA that hardens quickly and stays right where it needs to be.I will continue to use Anycubic moving forward.

UPDATE: Bumped my print speed down by 15%, extruder temperature up 12 degrees, print bed up 5ish degrees and fans 100% and everything printed great. The rough texture still doesn’t seem to want to feed through the filament guide like other types but a thin layer of grease helped to get through a 3.5 hour print.I was very excited to get this in and immediately threw it on the printer and started a new design. Unfortunately, it’s not as simple as swapping out spools with this stuff.I’m realizing it’s pretty much like switching from PLA to PETG. While this stuff is PLA, its characteristics are just different.1. The texture of the filament isn’t smooth. It’s slightly rough. Which causes issues if you run it through a guide as the increased friction slows the feed rate.2. It seems to want a higher temperature. I have increased my temperature by over 10 degrees and I’m still not certain that’s hot enough.3. The flow rate has issues. Either it’s slightly clogging in the hot end, the rough texture is slowing down the feed rate significantly, or this stuff just doesn’t uniformly melt in the extruder. No idea which it is so I’m just winging it at this point.It’s really unfortunate considering how expensive this stuff is (in comparison to other PLA) and it seems you would be best to treat it as a new filament type and run all of your setup prints from scratch. I’ll just keep winging it and hoping that I can get this stuff to work, because from the small failed pieces that I’ve gotten so far, the glow is surprisingly good.

I’ve been using the filament on my Creality K1 MAX and it performs exceptionally well, especially at higher speeds. Great Value

Perfect color the reel was bent a little but what do you expect from a cardboard reel 😂

The filament printed well without issue and without breaking. The downfall is the cardboard reels that it is wound on. One spool had the reel bent and it didn't work well in my AnyCubic Ace Pro unit and kept jumping out of the track and binding up. Adding to the problems, the spool wasn't wound neatly and orderly, something that I value when buying filament.Everything else was good including the color consistency throughout the print and reel, the diameter was spot on with no issues presenting themselves as hang ups or misfeeds. Upon initial arrival the filament was put into my dryer and started off around 20% which shows that AnyCubic takes care to ship and store the filament well.
