ELEGOO Filament Dimensional Accuracy Cardboard Reviews Summary

Filament Quality

Pros:

• "The quality of this filament is truly top-notch."
• "The Elegoo PLA Silk Golden filament was easy to print on my Ender 3 Pro 3D Printer."
• "Color consistency is good, and there is little to no color change at temperature change."
• "The black looks beautiful when printed, has an almost carbon-fiber/graphite color to it when the light hits."
• "Very high quality filament with consistent diameter and excellent results."
• "This filament produces consistent prints and looks really good."
• "The filament itself is very strong and versatile, making it perfect for a variety of projects."

Cons:

• "This filament will clog your machine if you get it too warm."
• "I've used a few rolls of this now and I'm pretty sure this is the thing that's been clogging my extruder."
• "The one issue that I had with this filament is that it broke twice, between the spool and the extruder, when the printer was not running."
• "It prints the first few layers and then clogs."
• "Started out OK, but less then half way through the reel it clogged my nozzle and extruder so horribly that I had to replace them."
• "This grey roll gave me so much trouble. Inconsistent diameter. I have to clear clogs every other print or so."
• "Both filaments came in failed vacuum bags and were extremely wet."

Packaging and Storage

Pros:

• "In terms of packaging, the filament comes vacuum-sealed with desiccant, ensuring it stays dry and free from dust or other particles."
• "I tried drying the roll over night for 12hrs at 50c and it helped with the bubbling."
• "The 2KG spool size provides an ample amount of filament for multiple projects, making it a cost-effective choice."
• "Both packages came in well packed and each filament was vacuum sealed."
• "The filament came in sealed in a box and has been printing fine so far. Strong adhesion to the plate."
• "The winding on the spools was extremely accurate and well done, with seemingly robotic precision."
• "The filament is good quality, neatly wound, tangle free, and on a cardboard spool that is easy to recycle."

Cons:

• "The cardboard spools damage easily and become a problem for me."
• "wet filament straight out of the vacuum bag, bubbles and spits, 2nd roll is full of this black stuff that keeps clogging the nozzle."
• "The first roll in the next box has so much moisture in the filament that it clogged on my second print."
• "The filament was not wrapped on the spool properly and caused extra tension during the print which causes layer separation."
• "These rolls are wound so tight and incorrectly. Filament is always wrapped around itself and fails every time it gets to the edge of the spool."
• "Out of around 10 rolls I've purchased maybe 7 of them have been tangled up out of the box making it useless unless I rewind it."
• "Noticed a couple or the spools were not vacuum sealed properly and the bags had air in them and no vacuum."

Customer Service

Pros:

• "If I could rate customer service at Elegoo, I would give it 5 stars!"
• "Elegoo reached out and provided a full replacement."
• "Customer service has been amazing and is rectifying the issue by send a replacement spool."
• "Elegoo was happy to replace the filament after I showed them the swelling I was seeing. Great customer service!"
• "Elegoo has great customer service and has compensated me for my troubles in a very easy and simple process."
• "Very responsive, and willing to try to get issues taken care of in a timely manner."
• "Elegoo sent me 2 replacement rolls and after putting them through the dryer, I am happy to say that the PLA+ is also very nice to work with."

Cons:

• "I attempted to contact the seller but I have not received a response."
• "EDIT: Dropped 1* last star seller reached out to give a full refund. Then never responded?"
• "I bought a resin printer from elegoo years ago that was trash and the customer service was even worse."
• "Wrote customer service and asked if they had any plans to fix this problem and their response was to download a provided file and print side panels to add to the cardboard sides."
• "The vendor reached out to me with an offer to replace the product, or supply a different filament, but I declined."
• "After leaving my original review regarding my disappointment in the performance of the Elegoo PLA filament, the company reached out to me expressing their concern with the product quality."
• "I'm extremely frustrated and disappointed in the quality of this product. I'm requesting a refund and would not recommend this product to anyone."

Print Results

Pros:

• "Printed a bust of the statue of david and it withstood tons of fireworks and surprisingly lasted the whole night."
• "So far it has been printing consistently without any problems."
• "Printed 'Gear Bearing' on Prusa MK3S+ with default settings. This is a print that reveals printing and filament defects pretty readily - because the gears won't spin if anything goes wrong. It didn't. Print adhered to the bed just fine."
• "Both benchy boats turned out well. No unusual clogging, holes, jams, blobs, adhesion, or overhang issues."
• "The color isn't something I was concerned with, but it's very smooth and consistent throughout."
• "The silk silver pla came out shiny and beautiful."
• "The two prints in the photo, Drafnir Bust (1/2 size) and the Dreaming Angel, printed without any problems."

Cons:

• "This grey roll gave me so much trouble. Inconsistent diameter. I have to clear clogs every other print or so."
• "I thought that most bad reviews were due to use error but, through my experience this is very low quality filament."
• "Worst PLA filament I ever used. Clogged my bambu p1s no less than 10 times."
• "I am returning these and going to get more expensive PLA filament. My free time is worth more than the savings!"
• "The quality is terrible even after dehydrating it I am still encountering problems that end up being wasted filament and failed prints."
• "Definitely not the best printing filament I’ve tried. Seemed to print a bit stringy."
• "This is terrible filament! Perhaps the worst I've ever tried."
