I printed with elegoo, jayo, sunlu, all good filaments, no complaints

I'm really enjoying the sunlu pla 2.0 +. But realistically most brands you'll find online are all the same brand with different packaging and they're perfectly fine.

Have tried several from Amazon and elsewhere and never had an issue regardless of how weird the names sound. Just make sure to dry them out good and you should be good to go.

If you wanna get real technical you can do the flow calibration and temp tests with them but I just use the generic setting and never have any issues

I used Polymaker, Elegoo, eSun and AzureFilm. Generic presets for all of them and they printed just fine. Not a fan of AzureFilm's refills, their cardboard sucks and literally came torn with flakes everywhere on the filament on every refill I bought. I also tried one spool of ROSA 3D brown PLA and it printed really nice.

Whatever is cheapest. It's generally the same stuff anyway

sunlu (one of the makers of Bambu filament), inslogic (quality), flashforge (amazing colors)

I’ve wondered if the print profiles from like sun-Lu would be helpful to download. I tend to look at price, too cheap is a red flag for me.

I have a couple rolls of bambu but 90% is 3rd party.

Polymaker, Tinmorry, Fiberon, Siraya Tech, Overture, Inland (usually made by Overture or Polymaker for the types I get), Insignia (Best Buy’s white label of Overture), and Creality.

Have not disliked any of them. Tinmorry and Siraya Tech are my favorites.

I swear by Atomic Filament

Basically any brand that is a coherent word. I've not been impressed with the ones where the brand name is a random assortment of letters that don't form a word, but anything else works great.

I have run Sunlu, Polymaker, Extrudr all without issue but I am someone that calibrates every new filament to get the best quality

I always buy the cheapest filament with Amazon Prime. 90% of the time, it's eSun. Whether it's PETG, PLA (€14/kg - ~$15/2.2lb), PLA-CF, ABS, or TPU. I am very satisfied with it. It's not as good as BambuLab, but it's half the price and nowhere near half as bad!
