My Favorite PLA Filaments // Cool Prints 6 

I would love to see a video about all the crazy pla filament. Like wood fill, magnetic, glowing, etc

Woah Devin kept his shirt on!!

Slicer trickery, eh? That would make a good video! Just sayin'... 😉

I'd love to see a video on that "slicer trickery" for the OP-1 cover

> Doesn't sound too exciting You underestimate how exciting functionality can be. I looooove making drawers.

MY BOY ANDREW YANG!!!

If you're making something mechanical, it's crazy to see the strength differences between brands. Some just snap apart easily and some stick together really well. The cheap monoprice PLA was stronger than a lot of the more expensive stuff.

2:40 YANGGANG!!!!

“Stay inspired” is the best goodbye.🏆

Saw those yang gang prints

Ooh...that printer was wildly faster than I thought it was going to be :)

That printed cover is mad! Sick execution. Great unique upload ha! 🤜🏼🤛🏼😎🍀🇦🇺

I live in Arizona so the spools never tough humidity so I’ve had spools of cheap plastics from 4 years ago that still work great

Personally my favorite filaments are the ones from extrudr. Its a austrian company. They have pla in Matt and glossy as well as fluorescent and glowing under black light. I’ve gotten about 6 spools of them and they are all great. The printing temperature is the same on every filament (215C/60C). The spool comes in 1.1 kilos and costs around 40 bucks in Switzerland.

Most of my filaments are from a brand called Spectrum. They’re from Poland and I don’t know whether or not they’ve appeared on the American market but they’re really high quality for their price

I don't know what it's like in other regions, but being somebody that lives in california, buying directly from poly alchemy can have you getting elixir and FX fools for $25 a kilogram come up which basically makes them a no-brainer over filaments that you would get on Amazon for say $20 to $23 My mother just surprised me with three rolls of elixir after I was telling her how beautiful it is! She got me the emerald city, aquamarine, and nightshade, and I am sooooo excited for when they get here

Prusament is around 20€ and is one of the best PLAs I have ever used. Also within 0.02mm accuracy and really nice colors

If you have a Micro Center near you, they sell a wide variety of Inland filaments which are nice to use! They're around the $20 range too.

Yang for president!! YEAH!!!

Those are some coool prints and filaments too. Makes me want to make something aesthetic.

A model of the finished version of the Crazy Horse monument in granite PLA would be sweet. Thanks for sharing another rad vid man.

How did you get that effect on the op1 cover?

I'm a simple guy. When I see a follow Yang Ganger I click the thumb up!

There are a wide range of companies putting out effect filaments now. Atomic Filament has their speciality PLAs for under 35/kg as does FilamentOne. Both of those are made in US for those state-side, and have free shipping as well. No need to pay 60/kg for the nice stuff!

It'd be cool to see what you think of various semi-flex filaments, like inexpensive TPU, Ninjaflex, etc.

Yes I've been waiting for a video like this!

I normally just use £20 per kg pla for parts in kits I make and it's decent and prints ok, but I brought some Protopasta htpla and I have to say the print quality blew me away it just looks so much better than the cheaper stuff I had before and I had no first layer problems with it when printing circles and more complex shapes. So I can see it's worth spending that extra if you have a special project and want a good quality print.

I think Amazon basics PLA is not a thing anymore. However, it looks like it might be available as Overture brand filament, but this is unconfirmed.

Can't wait to see you go Four for Four!!

I want to see more filiments like these

Would love to get a new video like this.

Yang Gang!

You should make a video of your setup, such as your computer lay out where you design and where all of your printers are and how they are set up

Thank you for the your channel and very informative information.

You should start a series about origami 'cause your really creative

Yang Gang 2020!

They made a new metal filament made for sintering. It's called ultrafuse 316L. Its super expensive but you should check it out!

I'm gonna take a guess at how the slicer trickery 1st layer pattern went down. Design into your model a "scribed" pattern, in this case it looks like he sectioned it off in rectangles. Make the scribe just .1mm deep with lets say a .1mm gap. Your slicer will now recognize that there is a layer height difference in the model but your printer's tolerances might not differentiate (use extrusion multiplier to put out a bit more filament if need be). Set your bottom pattern to whatever tickles your fancy (concentric* in this case, as it looks like it produced a diamond shape in each rectangle) Voila!

Andrew Yang? Secret political message?

Nice review of various filaments. Any other recommendations folks? I really like Mattforge filament which helps reduce layer lines

yang-gang

Overture pla is also a great budget option!

ProtoPasta also makes matte filaments (in Oregon!). Along with some other types.

Please make a video about the OP-1 cover print. I'm guessing it's just different shapes overlapping then having different top/bottom patterns on each but I'd love to see a video on it.

Supper helpful! As a causal hobbyist, I'm not printing all the time. So, I was confused as to why my filament that was great out of the box would suddenly turn into dried pasta. I hope to look into the ones you recommended when I need to restock. Thanks.

That spidermaker matte looks like it's meant for printing Groot

The Inland PLA+ brand you can get a microcenters. I have found just prints amazing, at a wonderful price 20~25 dollars. It is also extremely tough. The one thing I would say is set up filtration just incase. Doesn't smell like normal PLA.

My new favorite is $13 1KG ABS. Newbs aren't buying it so it just keeps going down in price. XD

Most of the time I´m using CCTREE Filament wich I never had any Problems with.

Nice vid love hearing what people think about different filaments. One question, have you used the polyalchemy elixir natural? I heard people say they have used PAE white but I've never found any. Is the natural a white color? I am looking for a shiny bright white and I'm afraid the natural will have a yellow tint. Thanks! 😁

Was hoping to see Prusament filament and what you thought of it.

I have a big issue with prices of some of these fillaments. Your video was great so dont think im knocking that. i pay 17$ per 1 kg normally. 45$ for 3/4 of a roll is way out of my price point that im willing to pay. I feed 5 printers. I think even matterhackers is defiantly NOT worth it. In my case... i bought 1 roll from matter hackers and not willing to pay that price for that filament again. P.S. Paint goes a long way and its cheap

I just use poly maker white and teal, works great on the cr-10s and the panowin/trinus

Try out the ESUN grey PLA

I think Amazon Basics actually discontinued their line of filament already. It seems to be branded as Overture now, but they only offer it really basic colors (black, white, gray, red, and blue). Kind of a shame because I always meant to try them out, so I guess I’ll just be sticking with Hatchbox for now.

What filament did you use for that large blue vase on the right side of the screen? That would be perfect for a Sub-Zero statue.

On your advice - got the Spidermaker matte paper white paper PLA- calibrated and printed a few things Looks great on small objects, but my roll has poor diameter quality control, so I get layer lines popping out on larger objects where a thinner diameter section goes over a thinker part. I notice the don't specify the +/- diameter tolerances on packaging or website. It's great PLA in terms of composition, nearly no stringing, great removal of supports. If only they had the quality control to go with it. What can you say about the rolls you have - any issues with diameter variation or quality control?

Yang gang, ez subscribe right there.

You guys are first but I'm his number 1 fan

3:30 *cries in colorblind*

How did you do the design on the top of the cases, velocity painting?

please post the OP-1 decksaver, I could really use it!

Please share that OP1 cover my friend has one and my old ender 3. He'll love it

i would love to see a video tutorial on how to do that "slicer trickery" in Fusion360

I don't get the matterhackers stuff. I have never had good luck with them. I have had 3 spools of PLA from them 1 spool of petg and 1 spool of ryno and 2 of the PLA's were bad in that the pigment in the filament was weird. There were some really dark spots in a red I got and it had issues printing and then I got a black that was a dark green (again a pigment issue) then the 3rd one was alright but didn't print super well the ryno was okay but a pain to print with and the petg just has bed adhesion issues while esuns petg sticks fine. I absolutely love matterhackers as a company and their support of the community is amazing but I just haven't liked their filament. On the other hand though fillamentum makes some amazing stuff that always prints well and looks amazing. I also really like inland for cheap PLA but its just esun filament under a different logo but I am going to have to buy some of that spider maker. That looks awesome. On the polyalchemy side I LOVE their colors but it prints weird. It also does this weird swelling thing after it gets extruded but its fine to print with its just expensive and kinda weird but I say its worth the cost.

Thanks for sharing👍😀

Make anything, Would you recommend overture pla filament? Amazon sells it for less than $15 and I just recently got into using a 3d pen thanks to you.

What about the diy filament? do you use it? make a follow up video please.

Yang gang!

try weed eater thread and fishing line . i do not have a machine but like you shows

Thank you for this video, I just got inspired... for real... :-)

i want to make models and replica helmets like ironman one but idk what filament wouldn't become brittle or warp over time

Try out Owl Filaments. Igot them for 12 bucks and had them lie around for 6 months and they had no difference.

Fillamentum!

i use Anycubic filament all day!!! TPU 500g 14euros and PLA 1K 18euros on ebay love it!!! =)

Proto pasta anyone Proto pasta candy apple red is the best red i have found it looks amazing

The Rollo is a cheap, rebranded $60 Chinese printer available under different names on eBay and Alibaba. 95% of the reviews you will find are from RU-vidrs who received them free to review. Read the Amazon reviews and you'll immediately spot the unusually large percentage of phony paid-for reviews there. Draw your own conclusions from this if you're considering buying this printer.

So, you're saying the thermal printer is like a laser engraver?

Yes! Yang2020!

Have you used INLAND PLA filament

It seems that Zack Freedman recently did a video on this same subject. Maybe you should contact him and tell him it was your idea first. Next make a long video about how similar his content is to yours...

I just print with pla which cost $14/KG at regular price. Or ABS when its on sale for $3-10/ KG

I tried to turn on the alert of new videos. But, RU-vid is not allowing it. What is up with that??

Where is 4 :D

3D Solutech $20 or less a kilo and prints great.

Did Yang sponsor this video with his pipe dream of a universal basic income? 😂😂😂

Can you reuse filament? or make it with a 3d printer?

When is the peg board series returning??

Is there a magnet filament? Not a metallic filament that sticks to a magnet.

how do you like the Gizmo dorks or the Sunlu brand ? i'm just curious as to how they are.

Hey I love the videos! I was wanting to buy a 3D printer but wanted to go as cheap as possible without laking quality my high is around $200 but if you think I should buy something for more that is fine. Just wondering what you thought. Thanks :)

Hey Devin, are you okay? You have not posted anything across the social media (Instagram and Twitter). 🤔😕

Looking for transparent red pla 1.75 any recommendations?

I would love some of that Spider Maker Filament but's it's $100 Australian per a roll -_-

oooo nice video!

How do you get consistent results with your Amazon basics filament? I always have to print it super hot

omg with the hat on you kinda look like Roberto from brockhampton!

Make a bottle opener ring
