THE BEST Red I Could Find!

This is the only red that's worked for me so far with no issues. I've tried 2 other brands Tianse and AIO robotics. Their reds either would not stick to my heated glass bed or the prints would start curling. I've printed what you see in the photo changing no settings for each brand and Hatchbox takes the cake for red. Even though it's more expensive than the others, it's worth it for the no hassle. I've used their white with no issues too. 3ds Mars also makes good filament for a better price but I was tired of trying other companies for Red I just went with Hatchbox who I know has quality filament. Prints perfectly on my Qidi Tech x one on a glass bed at 60 for bed temp and 214 for hot end.

Good stuff

Vast improvement over the 'free' filament that came with my printer. Nice bright colour, printing and unrolling nicely on a hobby printer even after inadvertently spending months in a humid atmosphere under a thick cloth. Therefore consistent diameter, no impurities or air spaces, wasn't waterlogged (arrived in a sealed plastic bag). Bendable without breaking (needed to cut it with proper cutters /shears).

My Favorite Filament

Sometimes the colors can be hard to find, but this is low-fuss filament at a great price point. Prints well at 200* and 60* bed, and doesn't give me any problems over several different colors. Wish it was easier to find and that they still did their wholesale program.

Great Filament at a Great Price!

I bought the Amazon (branded) filament, and after trying to correct a number of issues, I read where some (most) of the issues I was experiencing could be due to inferior filament. It seemed everyone I talked to and read about spoke highly of HATCHBOX. I bought a spook of the Red PLA and most of my issues went away. The rest were either on me, or the printer. I also purchased a spool of orange PETG, which I have yet to use. Will give that a try soon. The price difference was negligible, wish I had just gone with HATCHBOX to begin with. Oh well, live and learn. Because of the issues, I have a much better understanding of the printer.

Great quality, consistent product

My space is filled with Hatchbox PLA and PETG now. Their product is consistent and always prints like a champ. With the cheaper stuff I was always trying to run down the problem - was it the filament or the machine? With Hatchbox you can pretty much eliminate the guess and take a look at the machine, cuz this stuff just works. Hope that helps ya

Great Performance - Excellent Price-vs-Performance Ratio

Great performance Hatchbox Red PLA filament. It worked very well for me -- very little stringing, good bed adhesion, and clean prints in an old, entry level 3D printer. Noticeable difference in the final output -- Admittedly, given the state of 3D printing technology, it's hard to keep everything constant to isolate the filament performance.... but my prints have been noticeably better, requiring much less post-print cleanup, on consistent basis (so far). Would definitely buy again.

100%

New to the hobby, I bought a cheap printer, somewhere in the internet someone recomended this brand, and boy they where right, I cannot compare because the other filament I have use is the one umbranded that came with the printer. But i can say most of my prints where successful, and the unsuccessful ones wher my and/or my peinter faults, So to me this filament is 100% exelent

Layers VERY clean, and consistent vivid red.

Really smooth at 195C-200C. I had NO issues with consistency. The layers looked great (very little sanding required). Nearly worked through my first roll, and I'll be buying another. I've used Hatchbox filament for over 2 years now. This is pretty much par for them It's when I buy something speciality from someone else that I enjoy a few hours or testing and frustrating failures.

Prints great, looks great.

As always, Hatchbox PLA prints beautifully and looks good at the end. Only thing I'll point out: My Prusa i3 MK3 (not upgraded to MK3S as of time of this writing) does not "see" this filament. The filament sensor just ignores it. I think there's a good chance it's the lighting in the area my printer is. This is NOT a concern for 3D printers that don't have a filament sensor, or the filament sensor is "mechanical" then you'll be fine.
