Customers praised the filament's "beautiful satin finish" and reliable printing quality. Many noted "very nice colors" though some found colors more muted than photos suggested. Most prints were successful with consistent extrusion. A few shoppers experienced warping or moisture issues requiring dehydration. Overall, customers appreciated the ease of use and strength.
Products ok, the difference in color is not well represented by the photos or examples. The Orange is more satin and muted once printed and less vibrant than expected.
Would recommend this filament to everyone!
Have never 3D printed before and was amazed how cool it was. Assembled a prusa mini together (one of the most enjoyable projects I have ever done, amazing documentation) and used this as my first filament to print off many parts for the prusa ikea lack enclosure project. I used the prusaslicer default PLA settings and went through the whole spool without a single error or failed print. Parts look great and it stuck to my spring steel sheet perfectly. I do first layer calibration with a 0.2mm feeler gauge (live z calibration/first layer calibration). What car/motorcycle mechanics use to adjust cam clearance). I am too much of a novice to trust my eyes relative to the pics in the manual. I emailed polymaker with a question about prusaslicer settings and received a very detailed long response with many great tips the next morning, so excellent customer service as well. Just FYI- Do not mix this filament midstream on a part with there polylite pro PLA (another excellent filament). They are both PLA but very different. Polylite Pro filament requires blue tape and glue on the bed (or glass/glue, etc). I am learning to use this for more demanding parts that require strength. My supports come off easy and clean with polyterra but I have to adjust settings for polylite so the supports are not too strong, as others have stated. Purchased a second kg of polyterra PLA+ - Excellent product!
I printed this yellow rose & parts for my Ender 3 S1 PRO, 210/55 temp. Sliced in Cura. No issues!!
I like the properties of this material. I had tried the black first and loved the satin finish. The white however is very revealing if you have any extrusion inconsistencies or z banding. It's tough to get a smooth surface finish with it. Still,I like the material and if you are printing a textured model,it is not so noticeable. If you want to expose your printer's flaws,this may be the stuff to get lol. It leans towards a warm white,and matte finish.
This has got to be the best filament I've tried so far! My 3DBenchy and other test prints have amazing quality. The bed adhesion is just right and it prints extremely smoothly with a nice satin finish.Printed on an Ender 3; Nozzle 200, Bed 55, Retraction 3mm@40mm/s
Extremely pleased with the print quality. Moving away from eSun, this pla+ prints beautifully. Trying their white next.
Left octopus with loads of defects printed after taking spool out of the package. Right octopus after dehydrating overnight. Before dehydrating I was having trouble with adhesion and LOTS of popping sounds from moisture. After dehydrating, no issues. As other recommended, 210C nozzle and 60C bed work well for me.
I'm looking for a color to do some solid white Christmas village.This color is perfect.It looks so great close to ceramic
Great filament and colors
Quality is fantastic! I always dry and tune all my filaments and polymaker requires little tuning. I can reliably print without worries.
I like this one even more than the matte black.

Lovely finish on this! Looks great.
Absolutely love Polymaker filament. Great to work with and prints very well. Thank you Polymaker.
It looks like Satin paint. Easy to work with. Love it!
I am using a few of the Satin colors right now! They print great and look even better,
I may even prefer the Satin look over matte, and I'm a big fan of matte finish prints.
Amazing product
Literally, threw this in my printers and hit go, printed perfect.
Great PLA. I am looking forward to my next rolls.
I am excited to try other Polymaker filaments like PETG, ABS and TPU.
