I’m about to purchase a few spools of 1.75 abs filament and was wondering what your favorite brand is. I’ve had decent luck with hatchbox but should I try other names? What do you do?, try new or stick with what works. I’m always looking for greener grass.
I’ve tried quite a lot of known brands and Chinese ones, but for me, the best in terms of price/quality is bq and filamentum
ESun has amazing, I will have Hatchbox rolls the same age and location as ESun and the Hatchbox will be snapping off the roll.
I usually stick to what I know work and alway buy a bunch of it ready to use(how much I buy is n+1, n is number I think I need), but I will looking for new one too especially new type of filament.
I stick with my trusted brand (ESUN PETG), but I am also open to trying samples of other brands to keep an open mind.
I have a few brands I use exclusively, Formfutura, Extrudr, Rigid.ink. ColourFabb , Filamentum, it’s basically whichever brand has the material I need.
Personally for my stuff I use inland, read micro center’s brand, however if I am doing work for a client, I use whatever they provide, or I default to the inland. It may not be the best, but I find it consistent quality, and it makes it easier to plan my prints that way.
