PLA fillament brands

I tried and tried to get Hatchbox PLA to work with my Mk3s MMU2s to print without stringing filament tips.  I gave up.  I had a reel of Prusament that left good tips after loading/unloading.  What other brands are able to be used with the MMU2s?  I am looking at Fillamentum, but shipping is pricey.  I would buy the Prusament, but there is availability,  lead time and shipping cost issues.  Does anyone have experience with the Fillamentum PLA with the MMU2s?  Can I be confident it will work?  Any other brands of PLA that will work?

I use Inland, Amazon, and SuperFila mostly with no issues. 

I have a roll of eSilk, but I won't inflict that garbage on any printer again in my life...

A lot of people are reporting good luck with eSun PLA+.  If you buy one spool of eSun, you will see their spool is able to be taken apart.  You can then buy their refills for a few dollars less and reuse the spool.  I have just started doing that.

Hi cybrsage,

Yes, I know from my own experience that eSUN filaments are very good.

But be aware of one fact, producing filament is a perfect way to get rid of dangerous chemicals..., especially black....

Just double check your source of filaments.....

There is nothing and there will never be such a thing as a free ride, or a low price to be good to be true....

I am good with toxic materials, I am not going to eat the stuff I print.  I do stuff for D&D.

Hatchbox (Yellow, white) works great for me. I had problems until I made the change to cooling movements 3 and unload at start to 120. After that I haven't had a failure in the last couple thousand tool changes.
