PolyMax™ PLA

I do like it. I have adjustments to make in my software. But overall the filament did what it should. Very happy with the color as well.

Excellent filament, prints like a dream on my Ender 3.

I have three rolls of the PolyMax red, blue, and Yellow; all are very compatible with the Ender 3 (Stock) I was testing it with. Very clean, sized at 1.75mm dead on all the way through the roll. Strong and a little flexible, it keeps it's size and shape much better than other PLA's. I have drilled, threaded, and milled this product, slow and cold is the key to machining (yes you can). I believe that after some marketing and price alinements, this will become the "Go To" PLA for all serious 3D printers; it's not for making trinket's; but for replacement parts and prototyping a quality model, this is the best you can buy. My Ender 3 settings work best at: 60-70mm/s for print speed, 100% extraction, 207c nozzle temp, 55c bed temp. Retraction is low 5mm @ 40mm/s. Infills can be kept lower than normal due to the increased strength, 30% is a very tough piece, 80% weights a ton .. I use heavy walls at 1.2 to 1.6mm and 1.2 top/bottom thickness for very strong parts ...machine @ 100% infill. Price is still a little sticker shock, however, I break 0%, 0% failed bed adhesion, 0% failure of completed parts; that's worth the price; and there's my time. Buy it and try it. If you don't love it, contact me; and lets look at your printers/slicer settings, it's not the PolyMax!

I've been using a 3d printer for years and recently tried the blue polymaker polymax pla, along with some PETG and PET filament. This polymax is hands down the best filament i've ever used! It adheres to the bed perfectly every time, does not warp, no odor, and its very tough stuff. The layers are bonded so tightly that the part essentially becomes fused as one. It's not rigid like pla, but has a small amount of flex similar to abs. This means that its perfect for threading screws into it and the threads lock into the material perfectly unlike a typical pla which is too hard and brittle.When comparing this material to the PETG, PET, ABS or PLA there's no competition and what surprised me was that the prints were just beautiful. The print lines are very clean and perfect. The strength of this material also far surpasses pla or abs. I performed a break test on all 3 materials and i couldn't even manage to break the polymax sample.I'm using a Makergear M2 and printed with a 50c bed temp, 220c extruder temp, 4800mm/min, fan on full after first layer.

You get what you pay for, and this PLA delivers! I have a new favorite PLA. Very predictable and accurate prints. I was skeptical about the strength claims, but it is stronger and forms better layer to layer adhesion than typical PLA. I print it on a Flashforge Dreamer at 210 C, and a bed temp of 35 C. I only use Elmers Washable Glue Stick (the purple one) on my bed. I haven't tried their other types and i'm not sure I want to after using this. I'm spoiled now.

I'm using this with an M3D at 215 C, almost always without a raft. It prints better than anything else I've used in the M3D. This and the Poly Plus are exceptional filaments.

This is a strong PLA blend, I feel like my prints with this rarely break

I use orange Polymax to print spinning vertical weapon drums for our one pound "plastic combat robots" Killer Parakeet and Helen. I also use Orange PolyMax for weapon motor uprights for our Full combat Antweight robots RBR and Parakeet Lord.

It just works. Its PLA but STRONG! XD

Exactly what I hoped my experience would be like. On time and in tact.

Love it all good

Prints great

Bought a few .75KG rolls of the Polymax Tough PLA and loved the filament so much that I ended up buying the polybox and this 3kg roll. Def the way to go!

Put in Dryer for 3 hours prior to use and still didnt adhere to my plate with glue . Stringy hell mess !

Prints extremely well on my machines.

Filament works great, just as expected. Ordered after reading that Polymaker was making some of their filament in the US. Went to the US site, assumed that since there was no country of origin information on the (mobile - haven't checked desktop) page, that it was likely made in the US. Received my spools in a timely manner. Everything worked great.

Look, I don't really care where it's made, but it's really important to some of my clients and it delayed my delivery while I grabbed a different US made brand. Would have been nice to know when ordering and I likely could have found the information somewhere with some research.

I ordered some of this for my Bambu Lab A1 Mini, and it prints great! Great durability and quality, although sometimes it came out a tiny bit thick and the printer scratched the surface of the print. Would recommend!

I love this filament for 3D printing guitar picks. People would normally say that 3D printing guitar picks isn't a great idea, but I disagree. And with this filament, it makes them have great durability. This filament has more give than other PLA and PLA+s I've seen, so that's great for accommodating the needed flexibility in light and medium guitar picks. I have a pick that I printed over a year ago now, and it's still going strong. It's only degrading how any other pick would and at about the same if not a slowed rate.The filament is kind of expensive, it comes in a reduced spool, and there isn't the 5 dollars off the pink and cyan like there used to be, so I haven't tried this filament for much else, but I can't imagine it would be a bad choice.

This stuff really is pretty tough. 10x40x5mm bar solid infill is tough enough to loop back on itself without snapping.

Prints nicely in my Bambu lab P1S 3D printer.

Super strong, easy printing, great product. #PolymakerShillFor a more detailed understanding of PolyMax PLA, you need to understand Polylite PLA and PLA Pro.Polylite PLA will snap if you bend it.PolyMax PLA will bend and show white stress marks but won't snap.PLA Pro is in the middle of the two. It will bend half way, show stress marks, and then snap.PolyLite is already stronger then the average PLA I've purchased or have seen, but PolyMax is crazy. I made a hammer, nail, and picture bracket and was able to punch straight through my wall. That picture has been hanging for the past few months.

Stronger than the PETG they make, but supports will take some tuning

Great product for 3D printing.

Very tough filament, very different than a regular PLA+. Very good impact strength and layer adhesion.

Love this! Just seem to go through it too fast!

Took me a little while to get the settings calibrated properly but once I did it prints great and it is extremely durable
