RE: What brand of filament does everyone recommend?

They have 2 flavors now: white, and real white

do remember if the paper label on your roll was mainly white or mainly black, both with blue print

I've had good luck with Paramount, but I can't remember using their white.  Thanks for the warning.

Esolutech white obviously has less pigment, almost translucent.  One spool and I've avoided it since.

Another call-out for MG Chemicals.  I'm doing some close-fitting parts in their gray ABS and it's as good as I've seen.

I paid US$11 and change for this from Amazon, but there are other colors listed in the $13-19-ish range.  I ordered the last spool yesterday and it hit the porch today.

Esun or MakerBot

From USA and I have been buying Polymaker and Esun. No issues.

California Filament, Paramount Filament, and IIIDMAX from the US.

I use KVP (Keene Valley Plastics).  Family owned company in the United States (specifically Ohio).  They offer multiple materials, free shipping for over $50 orders and even offer spooless to reduce waste.  Quality has been good for both PLA and PETG.  Ships quickly.  Can order directly from them or they do a have a store front on Amazon.  https://www.villageplastics.com/

Hope this helps.

I like CR-PETG from Creality. It's cheap, as low as $15 a spool, and has been flawless. I was using it for early prints of finished goods but it has worked out so well I'm using it for finished parts now too.

I'm in the US and buy it from Amazon.

I like Hatchbox and Overture.  GST3D PLA is good for the price as well.

I'm glad that this thread is still active.

Since the pandemic has wound down, I've been printing less, but I've been ordering MG Chemicals, Polymaker, and Hatchbox, mostly.
