In my ongoing quest for tracking down excellent PLA 3D printer filament, I’ve come across the Tactink Red PLA 1.75mm 3D Printer Filament<\/a>. It’s a large, 1KG\/2.2 lbs. roll.<\/p>\n

As you might expect, the Tactink comes professionally packaged in a shrinkwrapped casing complete with dry pack (desiccant) inside a cardboard box. Per usual for a full-sized spool, I’m relying on an external spool holder from Creker<\/a>, which makes handling these larger rolls much easier for my modest New Matter MOD-t 3D printer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Using my digital calipers, I noted that the filament’s dimensional accuracy was to spec. My printer was able to handle the material without issue, and the final object print quality proved excellent, with a nice strong structure. The spool’s vibrant red coloring held true in the final print.<\/p>\n
