Fugetek PLA 3D Printer Professional Filament,1 KG / 2.2 lbs Spool, 1.75 mm Diameter, Vacuum Sealed, (Black)

What initially attracted me to this product was the price. Being a few dollars cheaper than most of the competition, I figured I'd give it a shot, and I'm happy I did. I've had no issues with the filament. The print quality is good. I'm running it on an Anet A8. This is the 2nd roll I've purchased of this brand, and I will buy more. The only complaint I have is that the instruction manual has a coupon code for money off a future roll purchase for Amazon in it that doesn't work, but as far as the filament goes I have no complaints.

Pretty good stuff - Believe it was better than IC3D, DigiStruct ( which was pretty good too ) and definitely better than Sienco ( way too brittle ). I personally really like PxMallion and iFun ( hard marble like prints ). But I wouldn't rate this brand higher than Hatchbox or eSun PLA+.

I've bought Fugetek before, and it worked okay. It was pretty consistent filament and I had little trouble printing. (Color was light blue.)This stuff? No end of trouble! When it works, it prints fine. The models are good and have held up.But the filament is very brittle and snaps easily at times. I've had to scrap lengthy prints due the filament snapping at the point where it comes off the spool. Once it goes through the extruder it's fine, but getting it to that point has been a hassle.I installed a new filament guide on my i3 Duplicator, and I thought this might be the problem, but I went back to my older guide which has a looser fit and more space for the filament to roam, and finally tried it without a guide at all. Same deal.As for humidity, I live in an average (30-40%) humidity environment and my printer is subject to standard human temperatures (65-72F). There's no change regarding that, other than the filament.

I have been using Solutech filament and due to a lack of availability I needed an alternative. I am through my first spool of Fugetek white PLA and it is working flawlessly. (Flashforge Creator Pro, 210 degree extruder, glass print surface, 60 degree bed). The color is good, maybe the very slightest bit more yellow than Solutech "true white". No issues with prints, jams, breakage.

This is the first time that I tried Fugetek filament. I'm about a third of the way through my first spool and I'm comfortable leaving feedback.If you can get a good print, it's nice filament. The color is very much white, not yellow as others describe. It is not brittle ,and beds completely without breaking.I've struggled with this filament and I'm starting to think it's the inconsistent size. I've measured with a digital caliper multiple times and I've found that the diameter ranges from 1.70 to 1.8 in just a few feet of filament. This variance causes a lot of under and over extrusion. To confirm my calipers were not the problem, I used a feeler gauge to test, and it was within .01mm of variance.I did manage to get some fantastic prints from the first 10-15% of the spool. I decided to start a 15 hour print. About 4 hours in, I noticed that things didn't look solid and easily fell apart. Since this failure, I've had zero successful prints. I even removed a good 10% of the filament and I'm still not having luck. I thought maybe the nozzle was clogged, so I cleaned it out with a nozzle cleaning tool, and even replaced the nozzle with no luck.I bought four spools. I plant to swap to another to test and see if it's any better.If I were to rate this on my first few prints, it would be a 5 star. The color was nice, and it printed great -- until it didn't!UPDATE: I tossed the spool of what and replaced it with a spook of Fugetek Black (I'd order 4 rolls total when it was on sale) and it's printing very nice. Seems like maybe I just got a bad spool.FINAL UPDATE: I bought 4 spools -- two black, two white. I had a horrible time with the first spool of white, and swapped to a spool of black. I burned through the whole spool of black with zero issues and I moved to the second spool of white. It seems to be the same as the first spool.It's supposed to be PLA, but I couldn't even get it to stick to the bed unless I turned the extruder temp up to 220. At 260, it prints a little better (still unacceptable). I really don't want to go higher than that for something that is supposed to be PLA.

What can I say, it's cheap for a reason. It works ok, the winding on the spools (I've gone through 4 now) is not consistent and more than once it has gotten stuck because the winding got stuck on itself. Also, it's vary brittle, for example: after a print completed over night, the remaining line of filament between the spool and the hot end intake, it had broken in several places about every 5 inches I think due to the tension of being wrapped on the spool and then straightened out. Haven't seen this with any other filament.But again, it's super cheap and it produces ok prints on my CR-10. I only use it for very large prints that are only for structural scenarios or that I plan to do a lot of post processing on. This stuff is not so good for smaller detailed prints.

This filament is surprisingly good for the price. Color is bright while (easy to paint), diameter is consistent. Runs relatively hot - I found that 205C for the first layer (with 0% fan) and 200C for the rest (with 100% fan) on my Wanhao I3 Plus seem to work best. At lower temperatures I was getting adhesion issues. Quite brittle, I also found it broke inside the extruder a few times.

I honestly love this filament. I was sceptical because of the great price and thought I might experience some issues but It has printed like a dream on my Creality CR-10. No jams, great bed adhesion and nice, smooth finished prints. I will most definitely be purchasing a variety of colors again and I suggest that you do 2!! Thank you Fugetek, you’ve gained a new customer for life!!
