  • My go-to, workhorse filament
Color: Black
Now that I'm on my third roll of this stuff, I feel comfortable writing a review. I absolutely love this filament, and I really don't think there is a PLA that can beat it for the price. There are fancier, stronger PLA's such as Polymax, but they cost over twice as much for a smaller roll. With Hatchbox black, I don't feel like my money is getting flushed down the toilet with every failed print. The finish has an attractive glossy shine, and the material itself has great dimensional accuracy, making for less blobs and zits, assuming that you have a nice extruder/hot end. I have gotten good results with 0.4mm nozzles all the way up to 1mm nozzles with big fat traces. When you print coarse, this stuff is rock solid (by PLA standards). I also have better bed adhesion with this stuff than it's cheaper counterparts. Obviously, this isn't going to replace materials like poly-carbonate for prints that need extreme strength and heat resistance. It isn't magic. But if you want a budget filament that can works for drafts AND final products (for many applications), you can't go wrong with Hatchbox Black PLA. It might be worth mentioning that (at least on my build surface, LokBuild) the bottom will have a matte finish rather than a shiny one. Sometimes peeling off larger prints will leave a chalky white residue on the bottom for some reason, but a few seconds with a heat gun will clear that up no problem. My only complaint is that if you do a lot of sanding or filing in post processing, you will lose that awesome shiny finish. However, I am of the school of thought that if your printer is well tuned and you are slicing your files well, you won't need to do much sanding. ... show more

  • Excellent First Printer
Color: Red
The Qidi X-Maker is an excellent printer for 3D printing noobs like me. I didn't want something that I had to assemble for fear that I wouldn't do it quite right, and the Qidi comes very well packaged and is fully assembled. Compared to most other 3D printers, which are quite plain looking, the X-Maker is also quite an attractive printer with it's metallic red housing. Of course looks don't matter if the printer doesn't perform, and the Qidi prints very well. I especially like the magnetic print bed which helps tremendously in prints sticking to the bed properly, and makes removing prints from the bed amazingly easy. I did a ton of research on 3D printing so I'd be as prepared as possible for any printing problems and types of adjustments I'd need to make, and like all 3D printers you need to be prepared to tweak your levelling and print setting every time you change filament. While that has been my biggest frustration in getting accustomed to how to print well, from the many YouTube videos I've watched on other printers, it is just part of the hobby. You are, after all, creating custom objects from what amounts to silly string. :) I've had my X-Maker for 2 months as of the writing of this review, and in that time I've printed over 100 hours as I'm working on an "escape room in a case project" with a lot of 3D printed components. Last week the X-Maker stopped moving in the Z-axis, so I contacted Qidi support in China who got back to me in just a few hours. They sent me some videos of steps to perform to diagnose the issue, and within a couple of days determined I needed a new motherboard, which they sent me free of charge. It arrived in under a week, and they provided a video with instructions on how to swap it out, which was quite easily done. I'm back to printing now and cannot say enough good things about they competence and speed at which Qidi support helped resolve this issue - and from all the way across the world. I've printed with PLA, PLA+, and TPU, and Qidi also claims that ABS is possible although I haven't tried it yet. From the performance of the printer so far, I have no doubt it can handle it with easy. My only "gripe", and it is a minor quibble, is that the print area is comparatively small - the largest object you can print is about 6x6x6 inches, which I think if fine for most users. If you're looking for your first 3D printer, I truly believe that the Qidi X-Maker is one of the best choices you can make. ... show more

  • EDITED: I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT
Color: Black
03/11/2016 - I am changing my review because my issues with the product are no longer valid. I replaced my hot end with a PTFE lined E3D v6Lite and have had no clogging issues. I re-rolled the part of the spool that was binding and have had no issues since. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I would not recommend this product, but I am not writing this company off completely. The Good: The quality of the prints (when it didn't clog) were really impressive. The .05 Deviation of the filament is amazing. I have never had such even walls when printing. The first 1/4 of the roll was spooled well no babysitting required. The Bad: I have two main issues with the product that most people reviewing negatively have experienced. The first issue is with clogs. I had 6 clogs using this product. Each time I meticulously cleaned the hot end. I would get clogs after extended prints longer than 2 hours. I Assumed that I was printing too high temp for the filament. I decided after each clog to lower the temperature of the hot end by 5C. I started at 195C and got down to ~175C. At the ~175C mark the filament didn't stick correctly. Every temp change produced clogs at some point in the printing process. I did a sanity check by buying some cheap filament from the local electronics store, and successfully printed 3 2+ hour prints with no clogging issues. (The walls looked poor but at least it didn't clog) Full Disclosure: I am printing on a Reprap Huxley derivative that uses a legacy hot end. It has a .5mm brass nozzle without PTFE lining in the barrel that connects the cool end/feeder. The Legacy hot end MAY have exacerbated the issue, but I was able to print with a different filament brand with no clogging issues. My second issue, albeit not as pressing as my first, was the spool began to bind on itself 1/4 of the way into the roll. I was able to correct this by unloading the filament and correcting the bind. If I didn't have the first issue I would be happy to re-roll the spool, but the clogging issue has discouraged me from using this spool again. Summary: I was just so impressed with the quality of the prints (when it didn't clog) that I DO PLAN TO TRY HATCHBOX AGAIN... I have known certain colors to be trickier than others. I may try a different color, and see if I get the same result. ... show more

  • A strange tale
Color: Black
The strange tale of quality control. I have purchased 12 spools of Hatchbox over the years, the only filament I use (since I discovered it). Recently, my Anycubix Kobra started having problems with prints. The Kobra use age was such, that it was near its expected end (this is my 4th Kobra). Anycubic does not sell the Kobra any longer, so I tried the Bambu A-1 printer. Bambu has its own filament, so I ordered that too. While the Bambu was enroute, I learned that the Kobra was fine. My trusted Hatchbox spool was wound improperly. The filament overlaps itself, causing too much tension to unspool for the printer to handle. I have to unspool it manually, down the hallway, then roll it back up for each print, and stay away from large prints. Once the Bambu arrived, I found the A-1 to be an amazing printer. Fast, easy to use, better slicer, and did I say fast, and better quality. It is "the next" wave of the tech, and it shows. So due to an mis-wound filament spool (which will happen), I not only switched printer brands, I switched filament brands. If Bambu didn't have it's own filament, I would have used Hatchbox, but this is how things go. ... show more

  • Boring in the best way
Color: White
There is filament you buy to experiment with and filament you buy when the print has to work. This is the second kind. Diameter is consistent enough that it has become my reference spool. When a print fails I check everything else first, because it is not the filament. Prints across a wide temperature window, sticks well, releases clean, no tangles in any spool I have run. Their white is a slightly warm white, not a stark paper white. That matters if you are mixing brands or making matching parts. Do not swap a bright white spool in at layer two hundred and expect nobody to notice. It costs more than the budget spools. It also fails less, and a failed twelve hour print is expensive in a way the spool price never is. ... show more

  • No issues whatsoever? Don’t be scared to try this
Color: White
I honestly don’t know if the other reviewers got a bad batch or something, but my spool prints just fine. I was afraid to try this filament due to the reviews, but I needed the color and 3D Solutech (my main filament brand) was sold out. I’ve gone through about 600g of this stuff from structural parts to high detail models and so far no stringing, underextrusion, failure to feed, or bad filament/winding. The included picture was printed with the following settings: Printer - Creality Ender 3 Slicer - Ultimaker Cura 4.0.0 Resolution/Layer Height - .2 mm Infil Density - 100% Nozzle Temp. - 205C Bed Temp. - 65C Print Speed - 80 mm/s Ambient Temp. - 23C (73F) Total Time: 6h 47m 13s Edit (1/4 of filament spool left): Yeah, I honestly don’t see the issue here. Used up another large amount of the spool and it’s almost done, no problems. Added some more pictures that used a faster print speed setting, larger layer size, and less infill, no problems. I mean I can see if people complain that it doesn’t look like injection molded plastic, but c’mon, realistically it’s not; it’s 3D printed at extremely course settings. That shouldn’t be a negative, the prints look great. I could have probably tweaked my settings a bit more for finer layers and make my print look smoother but I didn’t bother, looks good as is. My advise is if you are still having issues, try to check your slicer settings. Do a quick test print first at an extremely course setting to see if the object comes out satisfactory. Keep tweaking it until you find the correct settings and then finally adjust layer size from there depending on how detailed you want your print. If you want a baseline to work with, I provided a small setting summary above. I will be purchasing other colors to try them out and see if the results are consistent across the rest of the color spectrum. ... show more
