Prices jump around a little though, depending on when the reseller runs out. But like carl_m1968 and Tin Falcon said, you'll have to modify the machine to accept 3rd party filament.

the $16.50 price is for grab bag bundles so you can pick your material and size but they pick the color or colors and you have to buy in two kilo packs.  fpr $33    Still not a bad deal. regular rolls  are still a good deal  at $21.55 on sale  a roll and about 15- 20 color choices.
Hope this did not cause any confusion.

IMHO if I were to be buying some at the moment I would go to http://www.makergeeks.com/pla3dfibymaf.html
they are having an incredible sale $16.50 a roll with free shipping so a great time to buy and try.
This is made in USA material.  I have not tried this material but see no reason not to .

Colorfab pla/pha is nice stuff but is a bit more at $38.50 for 750 grams  https://printedsolid.com/collections/co … pha-1-75mm

I have used inland brand from microcenter but at $15.00 a roll for chinese import vs the makergeek price of $16.50 including shipping seems a no brainer Buy made in USA.

I am new to using 3rd party filaments.  Could anyone recommend the best pla brands to try?  I have only used the xyz brands that come with the davinci 1.0 and davinci junior.

Have you modified your machines? You can't use other brands unless you do some changes that you can find listed around here. Some are a bit involved so be warned.
