3D Solutech Real Black 3D Printer PLA Filament 1.75MM Filament, Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.03 mm, 2.2 LBS (1.0KG) - PLA175RBLK

I've tried a couple of different brands of black PLA from Amazon, including the more popular ones that many others rave about (including my coworkers, who are also actively printing). I had nothing but problems left and right with those other PLAs, especially in regards to adhesion and detail. Important to note...I wasn't just banging "print" from my Cura and Simplify3D on the same item over and over; I spent WEEKS calibrating, replacing parts, and trying everything I could think of, and was still disappointed by the prints I was getting.I've seen the bad reviews regarding the item, and the pictures look pretty legit. Considering I had the same sorts of issues with those other brands myself, it was likely a bad batch, improperly stored, etc., but this particular 3D Solutech Real Black spool I received is outstanding.It's the first black PLA where I haven't had adhesion issues, the detail level is impressive for my crappy entry-level printer, and I can actually see some shine to the finished product, which I wasn't getting from any of my former spools. I plan to continue trying more and more of the prints I was putting on the back burner for so long now due to so many issues, and I'm genuinely excited to use this spool.In regards to quality, the PLA straight off the spool is nicely flexible (no raw spaghetti breakage), has a great shine to it, and honestly feels fantastic overall. Running my fingers over lengths of the filament really gives me the impression that it was produced extremely well.I plan to give this company continued business, and will try their other spool colors as soon as I run out the current ones I'm using.

I have gone through 10+ spools of 3D Solutech PLA, including 6 spools of the "Real Black". I have been extremely happy with their PLA. It is very forgiving and prints great at a wide range of temps, speeds, and flow rate. Haven't had any clogging or un-spooling issues even without it having that perfect Prusament-style winding. It prints as smooth and accurate as your printer allows without trouble. I have used it for all sorts of prints from small to large, simple to complex, and fine to course and it has always performed well. I will say that the black is fairly glossy for standard PLA and because of that it tends to make print artifacts quite noticeable. The yellow PLA has much more of a matte finish and combined with the color makes even dodgy prints look all but perfect. This is a pretty excellent filament compared to all of the standard PLAs I have used in the $18-$27 range (haven't tried the super high-end stuff), but is priced at a point where I don't cringe making huge parts (the pictured enclosure is 20"x12"x2.25") or printing test parts I know will be binned. Biggest "pro" to me though is that it is extremely consistent in quality and performance. I always know what I am getting and don't have to adjust my slicer settings at all from roll to roll. I definitely would recommend it to anyone.

The media could not be loaded.  My very first print with this filament was great; I had grabbed a model of a Raspberry Pi Camera bracket off Thingiverse to use on my Creality Ender 5 Plus. The only mistake I made was using a brim to print; the bed adhesion was so good (glass, slightly textured bed supplied by Creality) that it took a surprising amount of pressure to release it from the bed once things cooled down.After that, though, things went haywire, at least for a little while.I had to lay the printer on its side to get at the power supply; I wanted to verify that it didn't have a grounding problem that some owners had reported (it did not). Once I finished, i leveled the bed again but didn't print for a day or two. Once I got back to it, the next few print attempts were disastrous and I had to abort them shortly after they started; the first layer was torn up, warping, and no way could they possibly complete successfully. So I started the arduous process of recalibrating everything ...I worked through AUX and auto-bed leveling (the 5 Plus comes with a BLTouch), adjusting the nozzle height (or so I thought; back to that later), and incrementally adjusting nozzle and bed temperatures to assess the impact. I finally hit 200C for the nozzle and 65C for the bed, and *thought* my problems were solved ... with the exception of some stringing. Reducing the nozzle temperature is normally the fix for that, but that just didn't seem like it would work for me.I calibrated my e-Steps (synchronizing the extruder against actual extruded filament) and my flow rate; no appreciable difference in stringing. So I went back to the nozzle height and incrementally adjusted that, printing a pattern I found that provided both good stringing and adhesion evaluation. I found that my nozzle height was the *real* culprit, and set my Z-offset in Cura to accommodate ... reducing the distance by 0.1mm made all the difference in the world and I was able to drop the nozzle temperature to 190C. That virtually eliminated stringing.My prints are now coming out great, and the black PLA provides a great finish. I've included both a picture of a recent print and a video of an update to that print that's currently running.Very happy with 3D Solutech!

I am a bit of a novice when it comes to 3D printing. I purchased a roll of 3D Solutech white PLA because it was the cheapest I could find at the time. I wasn't concerned with having the best quality, I just wanted a large amount of PLA to experiment with and try to dial in the printer a bit. I was surprised by how well the filament worked. I proceeded to order some black 3D Solutech PLA, accidentally ordering a spool of ABS in the process. I re-ordered a spool of 3D Solutech black PLA, and I would gladly order this again. My prints come out fine, even when I am playing with slicer settings, and I have had no issues with bed adhesion or layer adhesion. The black comes out nice and glossy, and the prints feel nice and solid, even a test piece that I made with no infill was nice and solid.

El material es muy bueno, pero a veces los lotes de filamento son de diferentes calidades, desgraciadamente pasa con casi todas las marcas.

A la fecha llevo dos carretes de esta marca y me han salido buenos, sin problemas de impresión y de un color brillante

Realmente no lo he usado mucho, pero los tres modelos que he hecho ha funcionado muy muy bien, no me quejo, un poco la adherencia a la plancha pero eso y como en todo, se puede ajustar calibrando mejor la temperatura de la impresora.

Considero es la segunda mejor marca de pla que puedas conseguir en amazon. Y con el mejor precio. Incluso suele tener ofertas que no te crees y su calidad es bastante buena. Ya me e comprado mas de 5 rollos de está marca y me parece bastante buena para recomendar. La aderencia no exelente pero es buena.

Great product
