DESCRIPTION
MG Chemicals PLA Premium 3D printing filaments are manufactured under very strict quality controls to ensure consistant quality and a tight diameter tolerance accuracy. The new plastic spool is designed with a large hub to ensure a uniform winding of filament and cut outs on the sides to easily see how much filament is left. The PLA filament itself is made from high purity USA made PLA pellets that gives off a mild sweet smell when heated. PLA is an optimal choice for use in homes and schools. It does not require a heated print bed and easily adheres to masking tapes. MG Chemicals offers one of the largest selections of unique and vivid colors of 3D printer filaments in the market

UPDATED TO 5 STARS! When I’m wrong I’m wrong. So it turns out I had to drop my print temperature a lot lower than I would have ever expected. This prints much lower than any other PLA I’ve used. That’s one of the hard things when the print ranges are so big. I am now printing amazing quality prints at 200 degrees with zero issues. Not 210, 205, 190, or 195. 200 is the sweet spot with zero issues. Fine by me now that I know. I wish I would have discovered this without using most of the roll on test prints. Oh well. I would recommend this to anyone and encourage you to start on the lower end and work your way up if you’re having print issues. The pic is Slimer in the works!At first glance I loved this filament. Great green color and pretty good glow. Too some tweaking of settings to get a perfect first layer. That’s alright because it’s the same with any new filament. Then the nightmares began. Great first layer then hours in the print would fail. The first time it jammed up and in the Teflon tube. I actually changed my time be and tried again. Checked all my settings and went again. Same situation. Great first layer and then eventually it fails. I’m not sure if the diameter is inconsistent or what keeps causing this. The second time the filament got stuck in the feeding gear and the printer just kept going trying to feed it through. I switched to one of my other PLA and had zero issue. Considering how many prints I’ve done through the years and my OCD with quality, I’m left to think something is inconsistent within the quality of the glow filament. Too bad because I like the look of it.
