Hello there! You helped me find my first 3D printer about a year ago. An Elegoo Neptune 3 Plus. Never had issues using the gray Elegoo PLA and just bought 10 rolls to prepare for a comiccon in 2025! I'm literally on layer 4 of Slade's helmet from Teen Titans right now. Thank you so much for all your support and advice!

I've done 3D printing for 5 years now! I now have a few different 3D printers, and I also been trying many branded and un-branded filaments. The ones most of the time work well are the PLA + by Sun Lu just as you said they really print well, but you have to tune in the heat and speed etc. to get a good result? I like PETG, yes it can be a pain sometimes? But I do usable prints which need the extra strength, I do use Carbon Fiber PLA as well now! It really is great for printing with and has a bit more toughness while being able to print like normal PLA, Just need a hardened nozzle and the 0.6 mm nozzles are better for this type of filament. I use TPU and now using ABS & ABS + and just a couple of weeks back started using ASA, as I have the Qidi X-Plus-3 so that inbuilt chamber heating and enclosed build area really helps with these high temperature filaments? I just got the Elegoo Neptune 4 Plus last week and it is printing a useful desk top Item for someone at work and I designed it. and yes they have said they will be paying for the work so that's good. The Brands of filament I seem to have found best are as you said some of the cheap ones! Odd but it is true if you find one that works, Then you keep using it. I do have trouble with any silk filament though? I tried so many different brands and all just won't print right? They often just won't stick to the bed even with glue stick on there, Also the seem more able to clog up the nozzles too? Even when I use the working settings for a silk I do manged to print on any of the silks that did not print right, it still was the case the silk just either clogs or comes off the bed just as the printed 1st layer was fine and ends up wrapping around the nozzle in the blob of death. Yes so Sun Lu and Elegoo and Flashforge and Amazon Basics and Eono and Eryone filaments are my choices too! One odd thing I found is, Every filament has to have it's own temps and speeds and flow etc. on One 3D printer to work. But those filament all have to have different temps etc. on every other printer too? Even if say I print on the Elegoo 3 that filament used has it's own settings & temps etc. Then if I use the same filament on say the Elegoo Neptune 3 Max, the settings of temps etc. have to be different again! Same goes for the new Elegoo Neptune 4 Plus I got last week, or the Qidi X-Plus-3 or the FL Sun QQ-S Pro Delta. I live in the UK, so the moisture here is a few levels higher than where you are in the US, So I have to filament dry in the Sun Lu 4 spool dryer I got last month then the spools will be put in the filament bags and a big bag of desiccant and I suck out the air with a electric air pump for storing! I do write the needed heat and flow and such for that filament on the original box or stick a note on the ones that I can't write on? That way I can stick the filament on the printer listed on the box for that one and print without worrying if the settings are wrong? I just have so much filament now it is a big problem storing it all and the 5 FDM printers I now have all also are taking up more limited room I have? The Elegoo Saturn 2 resin Printer I not really using as the water waste issue here is a problem to deal with sadly? My 1st 3D printer 5 years ago was the Tronxy X5SA that one was a pain to level even after buying the pricey new Tronxy all surface detecting Black Coloured Advanced Bed Probe which I replaced the original Blue probe with as it did not work well? So in the end to free up space for the better printers I dismantled the printer and it is back in the box. The 2nd printer I brought 4 years ago the Aquila ( G32 chip ) I upgraded that like mad and it just would not level right either so that be dismantled asap! Just trying to work out how to do Klipper control on the Elegoo printers ( Neptune 3 & 3 Max ) using the BTT Pad 7 now, klipper coding and set up is a bit above me sadly? None of the help videos have helped either, it is very complex if your not a expert in the codes!

Since I have a Bambu printer, I have used alot of bambu filament. I've also had good luck with Creative filament. Another good one is Geeetech. I've had nothing but great luck with it and it's on sale for around 9 buck's a roll. Just got in 8 rolls of it and it is printing fine.

Great topical video Frank. I admit I’ve been sticking mostly with bambu lab filaments for my P1P and probably paying too much. But their prices have come down and buying in bulk can get prices down to around $13 a roll (without a spool). But after this video I feel more confident with getting less expensive brands on Amazon. Cheers mate!

I like trying new filaments on occasion when I see a deal. I also try and get filament from US based manufacturers whenever possible, sometimed with great results, sometimes not so great. I recently tried iiid max filament, and it worked great, at first, then I ran into serious jamming issues that turned out to be spots where the filament was just too thick. Another that I tried and LOVED, was 3D_Fuel Refuel filament, their recycled filament. I got bulk order fo that two years ago and it printed so great and was this nice metalic gray that I love. Unfortunately they have never had it in stock since. My current goto filaments is elegoo grey for the model kits of the fighter from my books that I print up for sale.

Esun pla + was grate then they changed to cardboard spools and the quality of the filament has just nosed dived. Its brittle right out of the sealed pack. I keep having to cook it. Where as the old version of Esun pla+ i still have on the plastic spools still works fantastic. Even after being opened for 6+ odd months. I used to use Sunlu that seemed pritty good and think im gona try it again. I have also been very impressed with Ziro Filaments. Good prices, prints fantastic, interesting colors as well and comes with some extras like zip bag, filament cleaner and a free filament sample.

I've been buying a spool of eSun PLA+ once a month on Amazon Subscribe & Save for the last couple of years, and it's invariably been on plastic spools. It does get brittle when opened and left sitting in high humidity, such as springtime when it rains a lot, but the AC is not turned on yet. So, I always pre-cook it. But the print quality is great and I had a few standout props built with without any print-related issues.

Used Hatchbox for a solid year then tried Sunlu once since it was half the price, hated it. The Sunlu filament was tangled to oblivion, and made me spend $60+ on replacement parts for my ender 3. I will never use Sunlu again. I just got Elegoo pla and it seems really good so far, might be my new go to

I know it's a big first printer, but I'm wanting to build Destiny related cosplay outfits so hopefully I can get along with it straight away! 😅

Hackerbox and Sunlu have been my tried and true filaments forever now. Great PLA and PLA+ for my printer. Great coverage of filaments in this review, super helpful. I've barely used any silk brands but thinking I should maybe try them for my own small items and props!

I refuse to buy sunlu, might be great for pla. The simple fact that their ASA filament is spooled on soft plastic that cant even hold up to ASA drying temps. A company who cant spool their high temp filaments on a respective temp spool either don't care or don't know. Bad for business either way. The sad thing is the filament worked great. Tainting their good product with cutting corners is my gripe.

If you live near a Micro Center i highly recommend the inland (micro centers "house" brand) pla+ and tough pla. ive never had an issue with either of them. ive used a couple silks and they were ok but that was years ago so im sure theyve updated the formula by now. Plus they frequently run sales for a few bucks off a roll. Also the workers in the 3d printer section have gotten better and better and tend to shoot pretty straight on recommendations. (your mileage may vary)

Weird you say that I had anycubic filament and it worked fine. Stuck it in my dryer for a few hours just to see and it totaled my old ender 3 v2 I was using when my Bambu was doing long prints. It worked great till I dried it than it clogged. Cleared the clog and resumed the print only to come home to another clog that exploded out the hotend so much so that when it got to the next print (print by object was on) it shoved the bed down so hard it shattered the glass and broke rollers off the bottom of the bed, Broke the bl touch, destroyed the extruded/ shroud. Wasn't worth fixing so replaced it with a A1 Mini for my back up printer. Haven't dried filament since and I'm in Maryland it's humid all summer no issues. My go to filament now is hatchbox though it is like $25 1kg but it prints awesome

I typically max the build volume of my Bambu A1s (non mini) for most of my prints and with the 0.8mm nozzle, Bambu lab black basic pla and a full build plate it never goes well. Change the colour of the pla and everything goes back to flawless. Change the material or brand of black pla and it’s also flawless. Reduce the size of the print by 3mm and suddenly Bambu’s black basic pla is flawless. A very odd specific to one filament type and colour kind of problem 😂

I have bought almost every single type of pla on Amazon here in Canada. Probably a few hundred rolls. I will say some of the cheaper no-name brands surprised me. Elegoo is always great, Esun is great, kexcelled is good, sunlu is not bad, gratKit is good, Jamghe is surprisingly good, sovol is just OK, polymaker is amazing, iboss is good, overture is great, CC3D is meh, IMEI is good, Ereyone is usually very good, Anycubic is meh, Voxelab is good, kingroon pla is meh, Giantarm is usually good, Creality ender is meh, Jayo is pretty good, JustMaker is not bad. Isanghu I do have a few rolls but have not tried it yet. I am probably forgetting some but like I said I have tried many many and the best are sometimes, the no-name brands. It is getting hard to find a bad PLA these days. And I like the look of the mate pla's as of late. ELEGOO is one of those I like as even regular pla comes out a bit mate

Let's face it, since Cosplaying and 3D Printing have become some pretty big thing, there's always a Company out there trying to market us the exact same product as everyone else but for twice the price because they added "Cosplay" or "3D printing" on the label. PLA will always sand like poo poo, i don't see how they can engineer it in a way that it behaves like another material. Same thing with most products labelled as "specifically for 3D printing" that just turn out to be some kind of glue or solvent that you can get everywhere, but with a 50% markup in price. Right now i'm mostly using EcoPLA from 3D Jake because that's where i order most of my Printing Stuff, it's an EU-based website. I've just printed a whole Mandalorian armour with my 1st Gen Anycubic Kobra Plus. I thought the filament was producing strings, but it's just the Kobra that have an issue with the wipe settings, stringing was just gone as soon as i turned off wiping. I also had really good prints (minus the stringing) with Polymaker Polyterra PLA, and i'm going to try some PLA+ from a French brand called Arianeplast.

My go to fillament is Inland. Reason is cause that's what my local Microcenter sells and I don't have to pay for shipping. XD. I do have amazon prime though so I could order from there and not have to pay for shipping. I did actually buy Tecbear and Visdream filament from Amazon before. When I ordered my first 3D pinter I got Tecbear cause it was cheap. I also got some filament that looks like marble but I have no idea what company its from. Also ordered when I first got my 3D printer. I got the Visdream more recently and its special fiament designed for making airless basket balls. But my printer is too small to make full size so I'm gonna try to do one as big as I can get it and then do a bunch of airless tennis balls just to have fun with and mess around with.

I tried Fremover and all of my Bambu printers hate it. It will not feed or extrude at all. I took the same filament and tried it on my Flashforge 5M printers and my Elegoo printers and it does the same thing. I try to stick with mainly IIIDMAX and Hatchbox. All of my printers print those great no matter what. I am in Colorado and also don't store my filament in anything. Just leave it in it's box and that's it. I have 2 dryers just in case but have only really used them for the rare PETG I have used. Like you I mainly stick to PLA or PLA+ as I mainly print figures and busts and then paint them.

My favorite pla is polymaker, overture & elegoo. They print great on either my baby x1c & my elegoo Neptune 3pro. I like Bambi’s matte filaments but they’re crazy expensive compared to elegoo , sunlu, overture& polymaker. I use to live 3Dsolutech. Personally hatchbox prints puke hot garbage in either printer & clogs immediately every time I try to use it. I also threw out a few rolls of geeetech. It wouldn’t print on any printer at all it was absolute garbage.

I personally like using ABS because it is a dream to finish and it is so easy to weld if you have to split prints (acetone). But, and this is a really big but, this stuff is highly toxic to print and you absolutely need to either print it outside or use an enclosure with a high quality activated carbon filter. It's also an absolute pain to get your temperatures and cooling just right, and some things will actually require cooling with ABS, but once you get it dialed in, it is a dream.

I've mainly used elegoo. I've tried anycubic and it wasn't as smooth of a finish I'll try sunlu now I think just to see. I've only printed cosplay in black or grey as well, never thought about trying red. Black and grey seem to always be the cheapest. I'm using Bambu as well but I think elegoo looks the same. I just tear off the cardboard sides and stick on Bambu spool and they print like butter.

this is probably a stupid question but what would you think of printing a tpu cowl or mask like a tpu Michael Keaton batman cowl i feel like there's not very many videos on that i think it would be sick if you made something like that but its your choice really

Not stupid question at all, TPU is the best filament that can be printed on most machines. Cutable with scissors, sewable, (gluing is the only downside but can also be done with a powerful solvent) Best of all impervious to impact damage, tearing, shattering and can be abused for cosplay like literally nothing else. ❤ try it out, many affordable TPU on Amazon and have not personally gotten a bad one yet.

Totally agree. The whole "keep your filament dry' thing is just internet hype. I'm no e pert but I talked with the owners of a 3D printer company, guys who were building printers from scratch long ago and they said it's all basically BS. I live in Florida and do nothing but have m6 filament on my printer in a typical air conditioned house and after over 3800 hrs of printing the last 3 years I've had exactly zero issues from "filament that is not dry" ...

Always been a fan of your videos. I learned a trick from a fellow printer I met in my local farmers market. He has the Prusa XL with the 5 print heads. I was curious how his overhangs were extremely clean. He prints in PLA but the supports are PETG. Since they don’t stick together, it leaves no marks from the support and since his printer has multiple print heads that attach magnetically, there is no material waste like an AMS. This could be a huge step towards less sanding and with the printer, being so large, larger print pieces.

Classic PLA-wise, I tend to use 3DActive, Tarfuse. Recently started trying Kingroon, but their PLA needs to be dried for about 12 hours and that costs. Tarfuse is always in a vacuum bag that's in another vacuum bag.

Love sunlu. It runs great in my bambu, it’s plastic spool gives me less issue than Polymaker cardboard. Which makes me sad cause I love Polymaker it’s my personal favorite, but I can’t beat the price of $15 for a roll and $25 for two.

Polymaker is my daily driver and my preference if they have the color I need. I've used CosPLA B a number of times in the past and had no problem with it on a heavily modified Ender 3 but at the same time i live where I have to keep my filament in sealed cereal containers with desiccant or they will explode so 🤷‍♂

For cosplay i would look into the revo nozzle for the x1c you can switch between 0.15(just use 0.2 Profile) and a 0.8 for big parts in 30 seconds and the higher flow is also nice addition
