Honeycomb Drone PLA Filament, 1.75-mm Diameter, 1kg / 2.2 lbs Spool, Yellow

I ordered the black PLA to use with my UpBox+ based on the many very positive reviews I saw on here. This filament was terrible. First of all, the spool did not fit my machine, so I had to rig an external spool to accommodate it. Not that big of a deal, but if you are going to use a non-standard spool size, maybe note that on the product description?I tried to use this filament to print a fairly large job, but could not get more than about 2 hours into it without the filament jamming the extruder and causing air prints. I adjusted the temperature and deposition settings for two days trying to find a setting that would accept this seemingly demanding plastic. Every time the filament would jam, it would leave behind a runny oily residue in the extruder and nozzle that I would have to clean out.Eventually, I gave up on the Honeycomb and switched to another brand, which is printing perfectly, but not before the Honeycomb PLA irreparably jammed and destroyed the heating element on my extruder head (luckily I had a spare).I certainly don't recommend this product.

While I ordered this filament based on its color, I've been using it on my Makerbot Replicator 2 for all of my test and "generic color" prints so that I can run plenty of filament through the machine before writing this review.The color was not quite as dark as I was hoping for but still a pleasing green. I have included a photo of the Honeycomb Dark green along side a Deltamaker "Light" green and Makerbot Olive Green in both reel and printed objects under the same light. The Honeycomb reel is the one farthest to the left and the printed item is the hex-tile in the upper right of the grouping of three green tiles. The color is extremely close to Deltamaker Light Green but has a bit more yellow in the mix while the Deltamaker filament is a slightly bluer green.Consistency and printability has been so far exactly comparable to Makerbot and Deltamaker filaments I normally use. I tend to find that green filaments need to run cooler than other colors and this rings true for Honeycomb green. I tend to run this filament at 190 to 200 degrees instead of 220 to 230 for most other filaments in my Makerbot Rep2.The one and only negative thing I have to say about this listing is in the title: 3 lbs... if you include the spool, the vacuum bag and the box it is packed in one gets close to 3 lbs but the net filament weight is an (in my experience) industry standard 1 kg (2.2 lbs). In the end, though, I don't really consider this a failing as I was initially worried that the price was cheaper than normal for a lot more filament, which would call quality into question. Now that it's really the same net amount of filament the price differential is, so far, just a good deal.

As stated by the manufacturer this prints well at 180c. You have to adjust your retraction settings until you prevent stringing, like any other filament, but the white color is really good and it is printing beautifully with very minimal tweaking to settings.Edit: I should specify that it IS slightly translucent which gives it a milky sort of look, and i like it. If you were looking for a super opaque white this isn't it.

I normally would not review a filament so quickly, but I'm making an exception because this filament has no reviews yet and I want to help these guys out.I bought this filament to print some game tokens, and the only green I have is this ugly transparent lime green. Good green PA must be hard to produce because there has been a lack of well-reviewed filament on Amazon in the past.However, this filament has the same color as pictured, which I would describe as that of a fern leaf. It also has a low melting point (<180C) which is more than I can say for most of my PA spools. The clear plastic spool is a nice touch. I really hope this company's plastics are all this good, and that they get more colors on Amazon.

I received my order of PLA Filament from Honeycomb Drone is very High quality, and produces little to no smell at all.This item is described as being "Dark Red" however I received is not dark at all, its just plain red, or actually, its more of a "Bright Red", I almost wonder if the box was mislabeled, otherwise it seems to be the BEST PLA Printer filament I have come accross.
