Lately I’ve been using inland brand natural Pla. It prints so nice and I find that it adheres to the print bed really well. My go to filament brand used to be Amolen but some of these cheaper filaments have gotten so good in recent years.

    I switched to Atomic over 4 years ago and it’s the only brand I buy now. I don’t like wasting plastic and I know Atomic will print perfectly for me. If there’s an issue, it was my printer’s fault.

        Wow I didn’t know there was a carbon fiber petg on the market yet. I have yet to try any cf filaments yet but I think they are pretty neat.

          @PukeNukem They’re great, especially Atomic’s ones.
          Warning! Do not use a standard brass nozzle or it will wear out after a single spool. Use a hardened steel nozzle (the black ones, not stainless steel, chrome looking ones)

      @thecitywelivein@lemm.ee Have you ever had an issue with wet Atomic filament? I bought a roll of Starry Night Translucent filament and it printed like ass until I dried it out. It’s still sketch though. I can’t get good top layers with it. I used their Royal Blue exclusively when I first started and never had any problems. This new color gave me a whole bunch of problems that caused me to practically rebuild my printer. I even switched to Sunlu while fixing things and that gave me no problems. So I figured it had to be wet filament out the wrapper.

      @thecitywelivein I’ve been wanting to give atomic a try but I just can’t decide which color to get. They have some really neat colors and I love the atom design on their spools.
