SUNLU PLA 3D Printer Filament, No String PLA Filament 1.75mm, Neatly Wound AntiString PLA 3D Printing Filament, Fast Printing for 3D Printer, Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.02 mm,1KG,APLA Olive Green

I recently tried the SUNLU PLA OD Green Filament, and it has quickly become one of my go-to choices for 3D printing projects. Here’s why it stands out:Color & AppearanceThe OD (Olive Drab) green is spot-on for projects where you want a military or tactical aesthetic. The matte finish gives prints a professional, rugged look that’s perfect for models like tactical gear replicas, outdoor accessories, or anything with a military vibe. The color is consistent throughout the spool, with no noticeable variations, ensuring a uniform appearance across all prints.Print QualitySUNLU PLA prints smoothly and delivers high-quality results. The filament extrudes evenly, with minimal stringing or warping, even on detailed models. It’s great for both small, intricate designs and larger, more robust projects. I found the layer adhesion to be excellent, resulting in strong, durable prints with no weak spots or deformations.Ease of UseThis filament is very beginner-friendly. It prints at standard PLA temperatures (190°C-220°C), and I experienced no issues with clogging or jamming during the printing process. It adheres well to the print bed with just a simple layer of glue stick or tape, and there were no warping problems during cooling. The filament is easy to use with most standard FDM 3D printers, making it a great choice for hobbyists and professionals alike.DurabilityFor a PLA filament, the SUNLU OD Green offers impressive durability. While it won’t match the strength of ABS or PETG, it’s more than sturdy enough for most projects, and the matte finish hides minor scratches and imperfections well. It's an excellent choice for display models, prototypes, and even functional parts that don’t require extreme strength.Cost & ValueSUNLU’s PLA is competitively priced, offering great value for the quality you get. Given the consistent performance and impressive print quality, it’s definitely worth the price, especially if you're looking for an affordable yet reliable filament for your 3D printing projects.Final VerdictOverall, the SUNLU PLA OD Green Filament delivers excellent results for anyone looking to print in a military-style olive drab color. It’s easy to use, produces high-quality prints with a consistent finish, and offers great value for money. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced 3D printer, this filament is a fantastic option for any project where you want durability and a professional look. Highly recommended!

EDIT: I do not know where the Matte Black aPLA went but it was my go to for good quality on a budget, now it is missing.They don't advertise it as matte but it is.The *ONLY* Complaint I have is that for some reason it refuses to stick to a glass print bed on the *smooth* side, if i have the textured side or use glue stick it will stick fine. Not my printer either, works perfect with any other PLA, PETG, Nyl, and ABS, but this just doesn't like the smooth side of the glass.But other than that i love it.DRY IT and do a temp test, then a retraction test for your printer. But please do ensure it is dry!Still some whisps of stringing once you get your settings dialed in, but compared to generic PLA and especially PETG, these can just be brushed off or use a heatgun from a distance and they fall right off.

After using several brands, Sunlu has become my main purchase of filament. Consistency is far more important than I would have thought. Print takes two rolls of filament, you want to make sure the color and print temp and speed remain the same. I have had too many issues with other brands. Find a brand that works and stay with it. Cheaper and less frustrating in the end.

The APLA from Sunlu is one of my favorite filaments to print with. It is very smooth, slightly matte, and has the same strength as other PLAs. The black is great for muted items, and the cream is very bone-like. So far I'm on my 4th spool (2 x 2 black/cream).

Even after dried in my dehydrator for longer than necessary, there was still stringing during the retraction tests, so it's a misnomer to say it's "no stringing". I will say that it's "less stringing". It's got a charcoal matte finish to it, which is interesting of a difference if you don't need a gloss surface. I personally don't mind using it for most of my projects.If you need glossier prints with less stringing, I would buy some Elegoo black and make sure it's nice and dry.

The SUNLU PLA 3D Printer Filament in APLA Black has been awesome! Super clean prints with no stringing, and the filament feeds smoothly thanks to the neat winding. The dimensional accuracy is great, and it prints fast without any issues. Perfect for both quick projects and detailed work. I’m really happy with it and will definitely buy again!

It prints okay. Honest it printed with MORE string than some of my regular PLA prints. The finish felt more like Silk PLA than regular PLA. Meaning it isn't very strong. I personally wouldn't trust it to hold a bookshelf.Worst thing about this filament is the problem of clogging the extruder on my Bambu. It happened 3 times with this filament. Each time requiring me to disassemble the ENTIRE hotend assembly. Remove the hot end assembly, open the assembly, loosen the spring, and push out gear, cut out the stuck filament. It puts me out of service 20-30 minutes each time. Never again.

Big fan of Sunlu risen products. Fist time trying their filaments. Printed several things that were solid and they turned out great. Then I started to print stuff that had infill. And those tore apart. After a few days of use stuff would start to break. I tried to increase the amount of infill and how deep surface layers but still had issues.
