Topic: Which PLA is identical with that of XYZPrinting ?

Regardless of the hacks for the NFC, I would like to know which PLA reels & brands are available for the "da Vinci mini w". These rolls should fit on your own mount, I don't want to have my own roll standard next to the 3D printer.

If their is later some Hack that I can use on my "da Vinci Mini w" I would like the use Rolls with 300meter of Filament (even or better Quality)

What is available?

The reason I looking vor other PLA & Hacks ist not the price but the issue, that XYZ declares my rolls as empty even with enough Filament to Print some Figures. I had 2 empty rolls, the own has 18meter, the other 12 meter of Filament on it! This is what I hate!

My current favorite PLA

https://www.printedsolid.com/collections/1-75mm-jessie

Made in Delaware USA of USA sourced material

Have used this stuff in the past it works ok but breaks if you leave it in the machine
Chinese import

This brand is also very good.

I have also used this filament another excellent choice.

There are many good made in usa makers and brands out there . I have only included the one i have printed with.
Full disclosure i do not own a davinci and never expect to. That said the listed filaments work in all my machines.
