Comgrow PLA 3D Printer Filament, 3D Printer PLA Filament 1.75mm, Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.02 mm, 1KG Spool PLA Black and Grey

For a cheap film and dryer it works really good. Beginner friendly and you can feed the spool through and print with it while it's drying which I think is pretty cool. It works good for the money I'm happy.

Nothing but problems here...It is so soft the Ender 3 single-gear stock extruder would gouge it out and loose traction, resulting in several failed prints. I bought a sprite direct extruder and although it is better, it often fails to adhere to the bed in odd places, and even to adjacent layers. Another brand of filament (albeit different color) seems to work just fine with none of these problems. I will continue to experiment with settings to see if I can get a successful print with this material. Added Info: I ordered more yellow filament from a different brand, and had almost the same problem. Perhaps it is the pigments used to produce yellow which cause this finicky problem. I increased my nozzle temperature to near maximum, only reducing it slightly to prevent blobbing, and am getting passable results with both Comgrow and another brand. As a new maker, I am learning every day. I have increased my rating to 5 stars, as I now believe the problem may not be manufacturer-related I will avoid this color in the future . Thank you, Comgrow for the refund and excellent customer service.

Have only used the dryer for a couple days but am happy with the ease of use. And the overall size makes is easy to setup near my printer when printing directly from the dryer. Things I like:Ease of setup Large ScreenSize Multiple outlet feeds for filament when printing direct from dryerStable base, with the caveat of dryer needs to have more space between dryer and shelf.

This dryer actually looks and feels well made and works great too. Please read the instructions for operation, it's not very intuitive, but not too complex to learn either. Makes a decent seal and can hold moisture out for a few days even off. I like that it displays time, temp and humidity when it's working. No issues holding 2 filament spools with some room to spare on sides, so no issues if you were to use the spool holes to hold filament-ends (sticking out a bit on sides). Has closable feed-holes on top and front if you wanted to feed up/forward while keeping rest of spool dry. I've accidentally dropped it, from about a 30" high (table) onto lush carpet and luckily nothing broke.[Update - 2 months later] The touch-panel's stick-on labels has started to fall off on its own. Likely weak adhesive, might have to remove it and use the spray on adhesive to fix it.

The Comgrow PLA 3D Printer Filament is a reliable and affordable option for hobbyists, makers, and professionals who need high-quality prints with consistent performance. With a 1.75mm diameter and a dimensional accuracy of +/- 0.02mm, this filament ensures smooth extrusion and precise layer adhesion, minimizing common printing issues like clogging and stringing. The 1KG spool provides ample material for various projects, from detailed prototypes to functional parts and artistic models.One of the standout features of this filament is its strong layer bonding and minimal warping, making it ideal for both beginners and experienced users. PLA (Polylactic Acid) is known for being environmentally friendly, easy to print with, and suitable for a wide range of applications, including home décor, educational models, cosplay props, and engineering prototypes.The Comgrow PLA Black filament offers a deep, rich black color with a smooth finish, making prints look professional without requiring excessive post-processing. It works well with most FDM 3D printers, and its low printing temperature (190-220°C) makes it compatible with standard heated beds at around 50-60°C.Overall, the Comgrow PLA filament provides great value for money, delivering consistent quality, good adhesion, and reliable extrusion. It’s perfect for those looking to produce high-resolution prints with minimal hassle. Whether you're a beginner exploring 3D printing or an experienced maker working on intricate designs, this filament is a solid choice for your printing needs.

This filament dryer is pretty great for the price. It's actually saved a few of my spools from failing to print or just stringing due to moisture, so I can definitely say it works.The interface takes a little time to figure out, but it's not too complicated, and the instructions are very clear.It doesn't feel like any kind of high quality product, though. You definitely get that "cheap, light plastic" feel when you're using it, but for the price it's hard to complain, especially since you don't exactly need to add extra thickness/weight where it's not needed anyways.I do wish this had a specific spot to put dessicant packets though, as that could help with filament drying, and they're not clear about if you could put dessicant packets in the base of the unit or not.I've only used this for PLA filaments so far, but considering it worked for those, I have no doubts it would work for other filament types such as TPU as well.
