Amazon BasicsPLA 3D Printer Filament, 1.75mm, White, 1 kg Spool

I see a lot of comments out on the net with advice to steer clear of stuff like this. It's cheap and of course has to be rubbish because of that.Being the adventurous sort on a tight budget I ignored common advice and bought some. That was three years ago. Since then I have purchased several more rolls and a a few of these multipacks (when they are available.To be fair to Amazon they don't make any claims to this being premium pla. Are there better ones? Absolutely there are. For many you pay quite a bit more as well. On a budget, this pla is just fine. I get perfectly satisfactory prints with high detail and reliable replication across different prints. It melts between 210-215 degrees nicely doesn't spit, blob or run. So far, I have found this pla to be one of the most consistent and reliable at this price range.As with anything, a lot of the result is in preparation. Making sure the model is set up properly for printing in the slicer is most of the issue. The more detail you want, the more carefully you need to set up the slice. For statues and hero figure prints you also need to consider the print head that is being used. Most pla printers come with a standard 0.4 head fitted. This is a perfectly fine general use head. But for figure prints you might want to use something smaller. I have the best results for heroic statue prints with a 0.2 head. The print take longer, you need to take a bit longer in the slicer settings, but the end result is excellent. I printed a Jack Sparrow statue for my daughter using this pla, in 1/10th scale. With a 0.2 head and this pla the end result was as good as a resin print - although the resin model would have been quite a bit smaller.I use this pla for general purpose, vehicles, scenic items for game boards, scatter terrain and similar. If I have to print something of particularly high quality then I will use a smaller head, but I don't automatically reach for the higher priced pla. More often than not I will start printing with this - a couple of small pieces from the whole model, then after inspecting them I will either continue or use a more expensive pla. So far, I have used a lot more of this than I have of the other pla variants that are available.I've attached a few photos of stuff that has been printed with this pla. They should illustrate that it is possible to get detailed and complex prints from Amazon filament.

The media could not be loaded.  Took a while to get the temps and flow rates dialled in to my machine. Some colour variation dependant on head travel direction.Adhesion issues with recommended bed temp. 60c seems to be the sweet spot.Brilliant value too

Worked fine on my ender v2, didn't have to adjust any settings and it printed completely fine, lovely PLA.

I found that it was not as 'golden' when printed, more yellow than anything else really, which looks good still but not gold enough for what I had planned.Sadly the filament doesn't print all that nice either, with lots of holes appearing in the first layer, and very bad candy floss on detailed prints.Using a prusa mk3s+, no issues with other filament

I am, to say the least, disappointed with this filament. I've printed a handful of models on two different printers and they both share the same problem, that is they break. The printed models just snap so easily to be unusable/saleable. The prints just snap clean in two and not just at the weakest, thinnest part. The filament layers do seem to be bonded but then catch the model and it snaps.The filament is just too brittle, I would not recommend to any one which is shame because the colour is great (silk blue).

works ok adheres to the bed well.print quality seems ok

Prints quite well no blobs or stringing, colour could be a bit better but does the job completely fine

I was skeptical about printing this rubbery filiment but now I'm a huge fan. 220 degrees at the nozzle and no need for a heated bed, this is the first any only filiment I've used where I've so far had zero failures. I've printed phone cases, O-ring seals, toys, bracelets and even a stretchy watch strap all perfectly.I cannot fault this filiment at all, it was the lowest price for a full 1kg and I will definitely be buying again
