Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Hatchbox pla is great quality that hides imperfections and is sellable. Zero issues so far. Last thing you want is to deal with * filament.

The color is a brilliant bronze and gave the desired finish when making chess pieces. The only disappointment that i had is that the color is considerably lighter and less of a deep blue.



Cons

Print fail in the middle of a modestly large 24 hour print. When the spool looks like this it gets tangled and knots and ruins my print and machine as my machine doesn't know if it knots to turn off.

It is unbelievably frustrating. This is the sort of thing that works or doesn't, and is no unpredictable. Most importantly is that this makes the filament unreliable.

The spools are not reusable. The smoothness of the model prior to failure was adequate. This is worse than filament properties that can be fine tuned with settings.

I really liked the color while selecting this and was glad to see that it was represented accurately when it arrived


Once they did put my order in a box with the wrong color label which was frustrating until i realized it was just the box that was wrong

Competitiveness


I havent had this issue with any of the other brands ive tried at least 5 by now at varying price points


But i cant justify spending 510 more per spool than all the competition out there


However i couldnt ever get the same quality as what i was getting from hatchbox so im back
