I absolutely love this filament, and I really don't think there is a PLA that can beat it for the price. There are fancier, stronger PLA's such as Polymax, but they cost over twice as much for a smaller roll. With Hatchbox black, I don't feel like my money is getting flushed down the toilet with every failed print. The finish has an attractive glossy shine, and the material itself has great dimensional accuracy, making for less blobs and zits, assuming that you have a nice extruder/hot end. I have gotten good results with 0.4mm nozzles all the way up to 1mm nozzles with big fat traces. When you print coarse, this stuff is rock solid (by PLA standards). I also have better bed adhesion with this stuff than it's cheaper counterparts. Obviously, this isn't going to replace materials like poly-carbonate for prints that need extreme strength and heat resistance. It isn't magic. But if you want a budget filament that can works for drafts AND final products (for many applications), you can't go wrong with Hatchbox Black PLA. It might be worth mentioning that (at least on my build surface, LokBuild) the bottom will have a matte finish rather than a shiny one. Sometimes peeling off larger prints will leave a chalky white residue on the bottom for some reason, but a few seconds with a heat gun will clear that up no problem. My only complaint is that if you do a lot of sanding or filing in post processing, you will lose that awesome shiny finish. However, I am of the school of thought that if your printer is well tuned and you are slicing your files well, you won't need to do much sanding. Review: Excellent First Printer - The Qidi X-Maker is an excellent printer for 3D printing noobs like me. I didn't want something that I had to assemble for fear that I wouldn't do it quite right, and the Qidi comes very well packaged and is fully assembled. Compared to most other 3D printers, which are quite plain looking, the X-Maker is also quite an attractive printer with it's metallic red housing. Of course looks don't matter if the printer doesn't perform, and the Qidi prints very well. I especially like the magnetic print bed which helps tremendously in prints sticking to the bed properly, and makes removing prints from the bed amazingly easy. I did a ton of research on 3D printing so I'd be as prepared as possible for any printing problems and types of adjustments I'd need to make, and like all 3D printers you need to be prepared to tweak your levelling and print setting every time you change filament. While that has been my biggest frustration in getting accustomed to how to print well, from the many YouTube videos I've watched on other printers, it is just part of the hobby. You are, after all, creating custom objects from what amounts to silly string. :) I've had my X-Maker for 2 months as of the writing of this review, and in that time I've printed over 100 hours as I'm working on an "escape room in a case project" with a lot of 3D printed components. Last week the X-Maker stopped moving in the Z-axis, so I contacted Qidi support in China who got back to me in just a few hours. They sent me some videos of steps to perform to diagnose the issue, and within a couple of days determined I needed a new motherboard, which they sent me free of charge. It arrived in under a week, and they provided a video with instructions on how to swap it out, which was quite easily done. I'm back to printing now and cannot say enough good things about they competence and speed at which Qidi support helped resolve this issue - and from all the way across the world. I've printed with PLA, PLA+, and TPU, and Qidi also claims that ABS is possible although I haven't tried it yet. From the performance of the printer so far, I have no doubt it can handle it with easy. My only "gripe", and it is a minor quibble, is that the print area is comparatively small - the largest object you can print is about 6x6x6 inches, which I think if fine for most users. If you're looking for your first 3D printer, I truly believe that the Qidi X-Maker is one of the best choices you can make. ## Features - FILAMENT SPECS: SIZE: 1 kg (approximately 2.20 lbs) Spool, 1.75 mm Filament Diameter (Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.03 mm), TEMPERATURE: Recommended Extrusion/Nozzle Temp 180°C - 210°C (356°F - 410°F) - EASY TO USE PLA FILAMENT: Unlock your creativity with our hassle-free PLA Filament!

From www.matweb.com, the average material density for PLA is 0.0473 pounds per cubic inch. So, a spool weighing 2.2 pounds should have 46.511 cubic inches in it. With a filament diameter of 1.75mm (0.06889 inches), the cross sectional area should be 0.003727 square inches. 46.511 cubic inches divided by 0.003727 square inches = 12,479.6 inches in length, or 316.9 meters. Does that seem about right? **Q: Why did this suddendly double in price?** A: Supply and demand isn't BS, but it's also a bit mendacious in this context. What Amazon is really trying to get at here is what's called the "market bearing price", and it's not the same as supply and demand. To put it another way, if you think the price is too high, send the right market signals by *not buying it*. We decide the market bearing price; Amazon merely looks for it. **Q: Can somebody weigh an empty spool for me? How many grams is the spool?** A: I weighed my brand new full spool after removing the clear plastic cover. 1270 g. So if there's really 1Kg of filament, the spool weighs 270 g. **Q: What temperature should I print this color filament at?** A: Flashforge Creator Pro printing on glass with AquaNet hairspray I run 230°C extruder and 60°C bed temperature. When using these settings, I NEVER have a problem with prints lifting. In fact, even after cooling they don't want to release... until I put the glass in the freezer. 5 minutes later, the prints are completely free of the glass with no tugging, scraping, or damage. I love this filament. It also anneals very well. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My go-to, workhorse filament *by W***N on January 8, 2018* Now that I'm on my third roll of this stuff, I feel comfortable writing a review.

I replaced my hot end with a PTFE lined E3D v6Lite and have had no clogging issues. I re-rolled the part of the spool that was binding and have had no issues since. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I would not recommend this product, but I am not writing this company off completely. The Good: The quality of the prints (when it didn't clog) were really impressive. The .05 Deviation of the filament is amazing. I have never had such even walls when printing. The first 1/4 of the roll was spooled well no babysitting required. The Bad: I have two main issues with the product that most people reviewing negatively have experienced. The first issue is with clogs. I had 6 clogs using this product. Each time I meticulously cleaned the hot end. I would get clogs after extended prints longer than 2 hours. I Assumed that I was printing too high temp for the filament. I decided after each clog to lower the temperature of the hot end by 5C. I started at 195C and got down to ~175C. At the ~175C mark the filament didn't stick correctly. Every temp change produced clogs at some point in the printing process. I did a sanity check by buying some cheap filament from the local electronics store, and successfully printed 3 2+ hour prints with no clogging issues. (The walls looked poor but at least it didn't clog) Full Disclosure: I am printing on a Reprap Huxley derivative that uses a legacy hot end. It has a .5mm brass nozzle without PTFE lining in the barrel that connects the cool end/feeder. The Legacy hot end MAY have exacerbated the issue, but I was able to print with a different filament brand with no clogging issues. My second issue, albeit not as pressing as my first, was the spool began to bind on itself 1/4 of the way into the roll. I was able to correct this by unloading the filament and correcting the bind. If I didn't have the first issue I would be happy to re-roll the spool, but the clogging issue has discouraged me from using this spool again. Summary: I was just so impressed with the quality of the prints (when it didn't clog) that I DO PLAN TO TRY HATCHBOX AGAIN... I have known certain colors to be trickier than others. I may try a different color, and see if I get the same result. ## Frequently Bought Together - HATCHBOX 1.75mm White PLA 3D Printer Filament, 1 KG Spool, Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.03 mm, 3D Printing Filament - SUNLU PLA 3D Printer Filament PLA Filament 1.75mm, Neatly Wound PLA 3D Printing Filament 1.75mm, Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.02 mm, Fit Most FDM 3D Printers, 1kg Spool (2.2lbs), PLA Black - OVERTURE PLA Matte 3D Printer Filament 1.75mm, Matte PLA 1kg Cardboard Spool (2.2lbs), Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.02 mm (Matte Light Brown) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/2436608-hatchbox-1-75mm-white-pla-3d-printer-filament-1-kg](https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/2436608-hatchbox-1-75mm-white-pla-3d-printer-filament-1-kg) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kenya* *Store origin: KE* *Last updated: 2026-09-04*
