I have 2 spools of Hatchbox that I will never use. (White and Pink) I find that with a high enough temp for good bonding i get charred marks. If I lower it to prevent this, then I get poor layer adhesion. I would give it away, but I don't want to spend additional money for shipping. If anyone wants it and is willing for me to ship it to them, It's up for grabs.

I have used Filiment Outlet's ABS and PLA, both work okay.

Inlands is good stuff and super cheep ($15/kg), however selection is lacking (my Microcenter has pretty much Yellow and Black in ABS and a crap ton of silver in PLA, with some other colors as well)
Inland also makes other filaments, like HIPS (It comes in red.. and not sure why because its generally used for supports) and PVA.

I haven't tried premium filaments yet, as the prints I get from the basic stuff is pretty good.

The red from XYZ printing produced good results with my DaVinci 1.0A.

The white showed the layers but produced good solid results if the layering is ignored.

I like Hatchbox and am more recently impressed by Makergeeks filament. With the Makergeeks filament I got the midnight black and the completed melted Darth Vader mask came out smooth and really looked almost finished.

I've had good results with Inland (Microcenter in-house brand).

So far it has been Hatchbox, just got some grey in the mail a few days ago and it's working like a boss! No problems so far as to clogging, bumps, etc.

I had my printer for 3 days before natural ran out, I bought white and the quality is horrible. Has anyone else noticed this? And also whats the best filament youve used?
