i have heard Polymaker from other U.S. based UA-camrs and they rave about it, but i live in Australia and its hard to find! And when you do, its 1 of this 2 of that and a home loan to buy it. Thats been my experience in the last few yrs here downunder. So its no-name stuff for me, our isolation makes this hobby hard sometimes. But hope to try some one day . Cheers from A M8 Downunder. p.s. my 50th on the 4th of jan and i hope for another 50🤔
I see these channels where people have tons of filament just on the shelf. Makes me think of how some people are like “you gotta dry pla for 24 hrs” and the other who are like “I store my pla in the pool out back.”
I'm pretty new, so I'm trying to wade through the information scattered about. My first lesson: do my best to ignore the freakin' jerkbags found on the FB and reddit groups! @@LoyalMoses
@@damaylaphoenix1155 Ask 1000 people and you'll get 1000 responses, so here's my personal experience which may not match 999 other people's experiences. I have a lot of PLA and PLA+ from dozens of different brands. I have NEVER dried PLA filament, and it all prints flawlessly on a dozen different machines. The spool I'm printing this very second has been opened for at least 2 years, and it's humid where I am. The only problems I've had when printing PLA were due to user error. In other words, me, I messed something up. (Also I once got some whack no-name-brand filament which didn't print. All name brand filaments print well, don't get unbranded stuff off Temu or Wish.) HOWEVER, that's talking about PLA. When talking about PETG, I still have never dried any of it, but I will admit that fresh PETG prints better. So do you NEED to dry it? No, you can print it either way, but a dry spool will definitely print more cleanly. If you're going to use the spool over the course of a few days you'll be fine, it doesn't absorb water that quickly. TPU absorbs water fast. You can print a fresh spool fine but if you're storing it for more than a day it needs to be in a vacuum sealed bag with desiccant, or you'll need to run it through a dryer if you don't. PA (Nylon) is the final boss, this stuff absorbs water faster than you can get it off the spool. If you live it a dry climate you'll probably be fine, if you live in a humid environment you'll need to run it straight from a filament dryer into the printer. TLDR: PLA no drying needed ever, PETG drying not needed but it'll help your prints, TPU drying/storing recommended, PA Drying absolutely required
@@damaylaphoenix1155PLA is not very hygroscopic, PETG is a bit more sensitive to moisture as it is more hygroscopic, so moisture in the filament will cause blobs and with PETG being stickier it can cause compounding issues.
@@LoyalMosessince we are talking about warnings and such, what do you do to maintain air quality in your printing area? It would be great to get a manufacturers input on that as well.
I had never used Polymaker prior to winning a spool of it from your show. Since then, I think I've won 3 or 4 more times, and I've purchased more than 30 spools. It's basically become the one I use, unless they don't have the color I'm looking for. Thanks for turning me onto them!!
Also Polymaker came to rescue when 3D Printing General’s channel was closed by UA-cam and, at least during the back and forth they sponsored him to try to help him survive. They won my heart with that move and they’re now permanent members of my stock whenever I need decorative prints despite it’s not that easy to buy it here in Norway (because of price mainly)
If I am looking correctly at the Polyterra PLA+ TDS data it seems like the Polylite PLA line is a bit tougher than the Polyterra PLA+ line? Or are the numbers in the TDS negligable when compairing the 2?
@@LoyalMoses Sorry I was unclear. I know some companies spool of filament need adapters to fit or stay on the AMS so I wasn't sure if Polymaker needed and adapter to print to be compatible with the AMS
Do all the rolls come with cardboard? Does it work will with the AMS for x1c and the A1 MINI? It should work fine with my 1st printer the snapmaker J1. I would love to try Polymaker
Yes, they've switched over to cardboard spools, and they work fine in my AMSs. Never had an issue, I just make sure to blow air into the AMS to keep carboard dust out. You can also print hub covers if you are concerned and spool weights too if that ever becomes a problem for you.
@LoyalMoses I have many left over plastics spool holders from bambu labs..they just don't have the QR codes. Hey Maybe Polymaker can come up with some kinda of QR scan code which could be work with AMS?
Which version is the best for making display helmets. It’s display only so it doesn’t have to take a cosplay beating. It just needs to print nice and sand/paint well.
This is interesting because I‘ve printed with dozens and dozens of different brands and filaments without really taking notes or anything but I developed a feeling that I’ve had the best experience with Polymaker filaments.
I know that feeling of having a lot of filament! 😆 Join our discord and then hang out with us on our live shows! loyal.ms/discord twitch.tv/loyalmoses on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 5 PM Pacific
YES! We give away lots of it, and then Polymaker shows up in our live streams and drops HUGE 50% off discounts from time to time and people go crazy stocking up!
Filament addiction? Guilty here too. I just love filament; all different colors, types and brands. I completely agree with you about PolyTerra being a fantastic filament. When I first found it i bought every color they had just after getting my first spool of it. Such a great company too with super nice folks. 5000 spools?! Filament tour, filament tour!! Great video. -Courtney
Just started 3D printing a couple months ago. I started with a cheap Ender 3 I bought on Amazon, but it was a bit noisy and very slow. I decided to pull the trigger on a passive upgrade and got the Bambu Labs P1S. I have been trough about a dozen different filaments, some of which had breaks etc. Some of which I was never able to give a fair shot because I didn't know about keeping your filament sealed and would open every roll because it looked awesome. Having learned so much in a couple months I have found this channel to be a HUGE help. My filament addiction has grown and still looks cool stacked up in the boxes. I have found that AceAddity has been working very well for me and at $14.00 a KG it does what I would expect. They seem fairly limited in colors though. I didn't even know about Polymaker until now. It is only a few more dollars a roll and seems to have a massive PLA selection. Thank you for all of your input and I look forward to your future videos!
Well, welcome to 3D printing! Congrats! And thank you, I absolutely love to share my passions and these replies give me a boost! I love to hear that you are stockpiling some filaments! LOVE IT!
I have been printing for 7 years and never used Polymaker filament until around October 2022 when I came across an LM Show stream. Of course the chance at free filament had me locked, and Loyal is pretty entertaining too I guess. ;) I won a spool and eventually many more through the Friday night print races. These events quickly led me to joining both the LM Show and the Polymaker discords. My current inventory of filament is around 500+ spools, with almost 300 of those being strictly @Polymaker . I am working towards the full collection. Nic has been nothing short of amazing towards this community and having the chance to work with him on projects in 2023 showed me even more of what kind of person he is. While there are many great filaments out there, the quality, vast catalog of colors, and their involvement with their commuity is what puts Polymaker on top! So thank you @Loyal Moses for the introduction and enabling my addiction also! Can't wait to see what 2024 brings!
Wow! What a wonderful comment! Very kind and I am so happy that you mentioned Nic. He deserves so much credit for what we have in this community. I’d love to share this comment on Twitter! Thank you for everything that you do for our community and me and my family! 💜 Print races will return!!!
I am a newbie to 3D printing, I just bought a Anylabs Kobra 3 combo printer and have been watching different streams. I wanted to learn first before spending more money on a bigger printer. What do you recommend for starting colors of filament and software that is needed for creating 3d prints.
Came across this video and after watching it, I went to the Polymaker website. I was shocked to see so many PLA types. Asked them for their suggestion on which one is best for making items to sell and they suggested the Polylite PLA Pro. What is your experience with the Polylite PLA Pro?
PLA Pro is one of the best materials that exist in 3D printing! Prints just like PLA, but stronger and more durable. Those shelves in my video holding up hundreds of pounds of filament, are PolyLite PLA Pro.
I haven't used Polymaker filament yet. Have always used Esun. Which of Polymaker's CF would be good to use? I just bought the K1C and have never printer in CF before.
Probably is. But bambu works best with my bambu printers. Default profiles are always perfect. And its only SLIGHTLY more expensive, also they are making more and more colors/types/materials on almost a monthly basis.
Polymaker filament truly is amazing stuff. I got my first spool of it from Loyal and since that spool I have increased my private stock to almost 80 spools and I would say 70-80% of it is Polymaker now.
Loyal i really want to thank you...... i won a kg of filament on your twitch stream and it sat for about a week before i went back into fixing my old printer..... it has been down for over a year..... i tried so many things when it started acting up but i couldnt get it right...... so i gave up...... forward to recently and i dug back into the internet and found someone that had the same issue and a fix.....AND I FIXED MINE AND IM BACK PRINTING AGAIN..... AND IM SO STOKED..... SO THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THE MOTIVATION TO DIG BACK INTO FIXING MY PRINTER..... ps mrs moses picked such a great color
This makes me so unbelievably happy! Thank you for sharing this, and I am so glad that you are back up and going! I can't wait to see what you print! Just awesome!
@@LoyalMoses still fighting bugs of a printer that has been collecting dust for over a year...... but ive gotten a few good prints off...... then something else..... but slowly getting it dialed in and tuned up
Little question. Is it better to buy direct or amazon. Or does it not really matter. I see that some of the prices can vary. Like the LM filament is $5 a roll more on amazon.
Polymaker is my absolute favorite filament, but .... I just purchased a Bambu Lab X1C with the AMS and I've had nothing but problems with the cardboard spools. I even printed their spool covers and still had problems. Any suggestions to solve this problem? I got so frustrated I just ordered a bunch of Bambu Lab's Matte PLA. I'd love to go back to Polymaker if I could find an EASY solution to this. Hey Polymaker ... why don't you use plastic spools?
@Polymaker i've got a Bambu X1C with AMS... and i'd loveto try Polyterra or even Polylite but card spool aren't the best for the AMS... Btw.. where to buy Polymaker in europe?
i like polymaker filament but i can only buy it on sale in canada its a bit out of my budge but when ever i can find a role on amazon for around 20 i but a few
Question? In your videos, you have all of this filament on the wall behind you. Is that open rolls of filament or sealed? Everyone and their brother has come out with info about having to have a filament dryer, dry boxes, or vacuum sealing, your open rolls, etc. Is that really all that important? Is it just a lot of hype?
Different filament types are hygroscopic for sure, that’s just science. But, it is definitely exaggerated by a lot of people who know nothing about it. Some of that filament is 3 years old and we print with it regularly. Also, we do live on a mountain with a lower humidity level than most others, which helps us here. We do have to dry our nylon and other exotic filaments that are more hygroscopic than PLA and PETG.
I have won a couple spools of Polymaker from LM! And have now bought alot more! Its so easy to print with, and prints consistently! Plus LM has a great show! Definitely someone I would love to meet someday!
Hey mate, Will from QLD Australia here. I have never tried poly maker, I have only used Bambu lab filament. You are making me think about trying poly-maker. I bought a Bambu Lab X1C, that is why I use Bambu filament. I will follow your advice on how to try get some to try it out. Cheers, Will
Hallo Loyal Moses. I have a quick question: I'm interested in building a filament storage shelf as you have. Can you quickly describe it ? Maybe with the STL File for the angle brackets? I assume you've used simply plastic laminated chipboard as the shelf. But how did you secure the filament spools and how do you install the LED strip? Thanks a lot !
Yes, home depot shelves by Rubbermaid, and the light strips are attached with the adhesive backing and they act as the bumper to prevent the filament from rolling off the shelf. On the underside I added some double sided clear sticky tape to help keep them on!
I just spent my whole weekend printing some of their PETG and I must say they will be my go to from now on. Now I’ll have to try their PLA and see how I like it and if it’s anything like the PETG I’m sure I’ll be purchasing them exclusively.
I absolutely love Polymaker PLA Pro. It is the only one I buy, just got a 5kg roll. Prints like a dream. I did not know you did a Halloween drive too, I am excited to do the Xmas drive this year. I will have to go search past Halloween drives. Love your channel!!!!
Never tried polymaker filament before. But that LM-green looked awesome! Just discovered 3D-printing a couple a months ago and your videos and twitch channel helped me a lot how to think about my own goales with 3D-printing. Mostly use basic colours right now and I'm a little afraid to know what brand to trust? And some of the other branded 1kg 25$ spools of basic pla-filament that I orderd are really bad! Orderd some of them in bulk because I thoght I was smart and it became the opposite. Still trying to find a good filamentbrand with nice coulurs that not just becomes waste +25% of the time. For a newbie it's a bit of a jungle. Keep up the good work!
Thank you! Welcome. Well, if you come and watch my live shows and hang out in our discord, you'll get to see all of the cool stuff and be able to ask questions and see for yourself what we do with different filaments, brands, printers, etc! We'd love to have you and help!
Thank you for the video. I'm very happy that I come across this channel. I'm new to 3d printing and was trying to figure out what filament would be good to use. I'm a fan of any company that great and responsive customer service. I'm going to start buying Polymaker.
I'm here because I randomly bought a spool of Polymaker Polylite PETG and I noticed it bridged perfectly. I was looking at videos why there stuff if so much better and that's why I am watching this video. Haha
Wow every comment is replied to, you sir are a madman 🤣 Definitely gonna go for polymaker when i have some money, parents cant afford any rn. But for when i have the funds i wanted to ask what filament (pla, petg and so on) is best for practical prints that look good. Plant pots, vases, small shelves, hangars and so on? thanks in advanced!
i dont even have a printer yet and i have gone and looked at your filament multiple times and close to just buying to buy it. thank you for the great content. man i want a printer but totally lost to what to pull the trigger on. so many options and so many people with different views its hard to know what should really matter. and i know its my decision end the end. Ive thought about getting used but dont know. Maybe you could do a video on used printers and if worth it.
I hope you’re right, because I just ordered a load of poly maker filament because of you. I’ve purchased almost exclusively Overture for the last four years.
I won a roll from you the week i bought my 3d printer. Polymaker has been by far the best Filament i use! The LM sparkle green is AMAZING! Thanks for sharing the story!!
I have been using them since I started in late 2020. I very rarely use other brands unless I need very low-cost boxes of 2 or 4 spools in white, gray, and black for prototypes and drafts.
I am trying to decide which printer to buy. Size is my no. 1, no. 2 I would like to print in cf and nylon as well as PLA. I like the idea of multiple colors, however it is not required. I like much about the Bambu Labs CF but don’t like the amount of waste it produces in color change and is just barely large enough for my prints. I saw many of your videos and would be okay with an open air system like the sidewinder max or the Neptune 4 plus. Not sure if they will successfully print nylon. I am an engineer so I could build an enclosure and add the heat and ventilation easily if the rest of the materials would handle it. Speed is very important to me as well. I notice the Sidewinder has a new 4 pro coming out but there is no mention of a max version at this time. The sidewinder and Neptune do not have WiFi which looks to be on the new Sidewinder 4 pro. I plan on having my 3d printer setup in my outside building. Being able to print WiFi would be very advantageous. What would your suggestion be. I am still determining my budget if I get one of the less expensive models then I would just spend the additional budget on picking up some additional filament.
@@LoyalMoses Yeah, right from the start when I bought my X1C a year ago. However, what I really miss from many other filament manufacturers are refill spools. I really like the Bambu concept. It saves resources and is much more sustainable than always buying complete spools.
Polymaker has an amazing R&D department and is on the front lines of innovation, quality and standards for our industry! Give it a try, also Bambu filament is INCREDIBLE too!
I use Extrudr filaments for some materials that are unique, shipping can be expensive but they do offer free shipping after you buy three reels or so, and every now and again you get discount codes.
Love Polymaker cause I love the matte finish. It just has a unique look for my projects. Then saw 3D print generals flat dark earth, and about to order your color for my first helmet when my P1P with the AMS gets here Friday. What’s the best way to use their filament with the AMS?
Hopefully, they will add RFID Chips to the rolls and make the spools better suited to AMS systems. It's not an absolute necessity, but it would be a very nice quality of life improvement. Especially considering most printers are moving this direction or playing with liquid color reservoirs that color a base material as it's extruded, which will still most likely be RFID connected color tanks.
I love poly maker been using them on my Ultimaker for years but now I have a new bambu, so currently trying out there filliment, but I may start going back to Polly maker
Glad I found your channel. Your info is great. My first printer, the Bambu A1 is arriving any day now. Wasn’t sure on which filament to buy first and was actually going to try some of Bambu’s. Will definitely give this a try. Thanks.
Cool vid. Well, I've never tried Polymaker, but now I intend to give it a shot. I'm looking over their site and see the PolyLite CosPLA. I'll probably order some to try on this kit I'm about to print.
I love using polymaker filaments. I just wish I could find their filaments in Dual and triple color along with multi color. I use a lot of Silk finish filaments. Unfortunately I am not able to support polymaker either due to color availability and price. Amazon offers so many colors, bands and free 2 day shipping that I have to save money and time where I can. I would love to come across this color pallet from Polymaker to see what I might be missing.
I'm going to try Polymaker for a while. I've been an ESun PLA + fan for quite a bit, but the color consistency between rolls has been terrible. I don't do a lot of painting so I rely on colors matching.
Hi. My name is Elijah and I'm addicted to filament. It's been 5 days since my last order and 10 minutes since adding more to my Amazon wishlist. When someone posts on Facebook to show off their print, everyone in the comments is asking for the STL and I'm asking for filament names
@@LoyalMoses I am only doing "functional" prints so i ordered black and white pla, asa and petg. the pla i ordered in matte, what i have never done before, so i am excited for this one.
I'm still new to 3d printing but all I've used is Sunlu PLA + filament and love it. I'm scared to spend money on any other kind because I don't want it to be bad and a waste of money.
Here in Taiwan it’s expensive to get filament, but I do get polymaker from a printer manufacturer close to my house and I absolutely love it and how consistent it prints, but I’m still very limited in quantity I can get
That’s awesome to hear! I am 100% sincere with how I feel about them and the amazing things they do for our community and industry! Thank you for sharing this!
BTW love your channel and getting into 3D printing. This is why I'm watching your 7 month old vid.... playing catch up....😊! I have a P1S (no AMS) and 4, A1 Mini's (with AMS). I've decided to start printing Sci-fi Star Ship models for the DIY community to assemble and paint. Most printers and sellers of the models want to go ahead and finish them so they can charge the extra painting labor. I just want to focus on a highly detailed, high quality part. My question is what filament is going to give me the best finished results of course with the right settings? I am sure it's going to be a matte PLA. What's crazy is that I printed a few things last week in PETG-CF and wow! It's like the CF powder eliminated eliminated most of the layer lines and that wasn't even trying to. I was printing a functional part with 0.20mm layer lines and without drying. It's like the CF content got rid of any water content. And they got rid of the shininess that PETG is known for. So would a PLA CF filament be best to use all around to get the most intense with the least amount of post processing? These are going to be slowly printed as well... not mass produced toys. So filament cost isn't a huge issue as it will be taken care of with the price of the actual part. Please let me know so of your opinions and possible suggestions on filaments to purchase.
Thank you! And enjoy that binging! Wow, that is a lot of machines already! PLA-CF has a very cool finish, and yes it can make layer lines all but disappear, and a lot of people use it for that. Beautiful stuff. You can use cospla from Polymaker, it is a matte finish as well... or just go with PolyChroma matte and give it a try too, see if you get the same results, and it won't have CF in it, so it will be easier to finish.
I always rave about Polyterra pla and it’s been a printing beast on all my printers. I needed a great green and bought the polylite dark green sparkle. Loaded it onto my Bambu lab A1 ams lite and started a print. The printer reported failed to extrude filament, unloaded the filament and tried again, printer attempts to extrude and fails. So I start looking closely at the reel and noticed that the filament is very badly wound onto the reel. Tried to unwind the reel to hopefully get the filament to untangle itself and it was useless. Is this just a rogue reel or is polylite a problem with quality control. I am disappointed in Polymaker as I have never had anything negative to say about them so far but now I will definitely be more wary buying anything other than Polyterra and will need to look elsewhere for anything else.
OK. You sold me. Like many who've gone through many kgs of filament over the years, I've settled into my preferred brands. While Polymaker was on my radar, I've yet to get a spool of different types to try. Based on your enthusiasm and Polymaker's attention to users, on my next filament order, I'll drop in some Polymaker as well and see if it'll work for me.
@@LoyalMoses the red they changed "officially" after my request if they changed the color...red was amazing...i´m not to red...but that almost bloody elegant red...now a "creamy rose" but the orange i got and asked, they denied the changes. the orange is also grat like there (neon)green pet g but i used the old orange a lot, really a slightly transluscent fruity orange! my favorite petg color. Really not great, especally if you have to provide colors to customers............
G'day to you, Loyal Moses. Ive only joined your little corner of the internet recently, and im finding it a quite informative. This vid on polymaker has been the hundredth time ive heard of them from all my U.S. Makers, but ive tried to get some locally and its in small amounts with a hefty price too. So ill stick with my no-name brands and maybe on day i can get some. From A M8 Downunder
When I bought my X1 Carbon I bought 5 rolls of Polyterra and I love it, what I don't like is the cardboard spools and having to print rims for them. My go to filament before the X1 Carbon was Ziro, you get a quality mylar coated re-sealale bag, a card to write print notes on and a sample of their more exotic filaments, the windings are the best I have ever seen and it prints amazingly, I have much less trouble with their spool than the Polymaker one.

@@damaylaphoenix1155 Ask 1000 people and you'll get 1000 responses, so here's my personal experience which may not match 999 other people's experiences.

If you're going to use the spool over the course of a few days you'll be fine, it doesn't absorb water that quickly.
TPU absorbs water fast. You can print a fresh spool fine but if you're storing it for more than a day it needs to be in a vacuum sealed bag with desiccant, or you'll need to run it through a dryer if you don't.
PA (Nylon) is the final boss, this stuff absorbs water faster than you can get it off the spool. If you live it a dry climate you'll probably be fine, if you live in a humid environment you'll need to run it straight from a filament dryer into the printer.

Polyterra is definitely a softer / filament, not by a lot by you can definitely tell when printing and working with it for sanding and finishing work.

Yes, they've switched over to cardboard spools, and they work fine in my AMSs. Never had an issue, I just make sure to blow air into the AMS to keep carboard dust out. You can also print hub covers if you are concerned and spool weights too if that ever becomes a problem for you.
@LoyalMoses I have many left over plastics spool holders from bambu labs..they just don't have the QR codes.
Hey Maybe Polymaker can come up with some kinda of QR scan code which could be work with AMS?
Which version is the best for making display helmets. It’s display only so it doesn’t have to take a cosplay beating. It just needs to print nice and sand/paint well.
Their CosPLA is pretty epic!
This is interesting because I‘ve printed with dozens and dozens of different brands and filaments without really taking notes or anything but I developed a feeling that I’ve had the best experience with Polymaker filaments.
It’s an awesome product!
Would love to try Playmaker but already have a load of filament, how do I go about trying to win a free spool?
I know that feeling of having a lot of filament! 😆

I'm down to try some never heard of polymaker...what colors, does it work on a kobra3 I just got my combo
OH! You got the new Kobra 3! Super exciting! How is it?!
I'm assuming all those wall spools are PLA with minimal hygroscopic properties?
does playmaker run deals often?
YES! We give away lots of it, and then Polymaker shows up in our live streams and drops HUGE 50% off discounts from time to time and people go crazy stocking up!
@@LoyalMoses thanks
I’m going to have to try to get involved here then - looking forward to it
is polymaker US only?
Worldwide!
Does Polymaker have an eu warehouse? I really want to try this :)
I believe so, but I don’t know for sure! What does their website say for shipping options?
Filament addiction? Guilty here too. I just love filament; all different colors, types and brands. I completely agree with you about PolyTerra being a fantastic filament. When I first found it i bought every color they had just after getting my first spool of it. Such a great company too with super nice folks. 5000 spools?! Filament tour, filament tour!! Great video. -Courtney
So much awesome filament in the last couple of years! Love it.
Just started 3D printing a couple months ago. I started with a cheap Ender 3 I bought on Amazon, but it was a bit noisy and very slow. I decided to pull the trigger on a passive upgrade and got the Bambu Labs P1S. I have been trough about a dozen different filaments, some of which had breaks etc. Some of which I was never able to give a fair shot because I didn't know about keeping your filament sealed and would open every roll because it looked awesome.
Having learned so much in a couple months I have found this channel to be a HUGE help. My filament addiction has grown and still looks cool stacked up in the boxes.
I have found that AceAddity has been working very well for me and at $14.00 a KG it does what I would expect. They seem fairly limited in colors though.
I didn't even know about Polymaker until now. It is only a few more dollars a roll and seems to have a massive PLA selection.
Thank you for all of your input and I look forward to your future videos!
Well, welcome to 3D printing! Congrats! And thank you, I absolutely love to share my passions and these replies give me a boost!
I love to hear that you are stockpiling some filaments! LOVE IT!
Do the factory spooks work in the bamboo ams?
Yes!
I have been printing for 7 years and never used Polymaker filament until around October 2022 when I came across an LM Show stream. Of course the chance at free filament had me locked, and Loyal is pretty entertaining too I guess. ;) I won a spool and eventually many more through the Friday night print races. These events quickly led me to joining both the LM Show and the Polymaker discords. My current inventory of filament is around 500+ spools, with almost 300 of those being strictly @Polymaker . I am working towards the full collection. Nic has been nothing short of amazing towards this community and having the chance to work with him on projects in 2023 showed me even more of what kind of person he is. While there are many great filaments out there, the quality, vast catalog of colors, and their involvement with their commuity is what puts Polymaker on top! So thank you @Loyal Moses for the introduction and enabling my addiction also! Can't wait to see what 2024 brings!
Wow! What a wonderful comment! Very kind and I am so happy that you mentioned Nic. He deserves so much credit for what we have in this community.
I’d love to share this comment on Twitter!
Thank you for everything that you do for our community and me and my family! 💜
Print races will return!!!
@@LoyalMoses You are more than welcome to share!
I am a newbie to 3D printing, I just bought a Anylabs Kobra 3 combo printer and have been watching different streams. I wanted to learn first before spending more money on a bigger printer. What do you recommend for starting colors of filament and software that is needed for creating 3d prints.
do you have to dry Pla or petg before printing?
No, we have very low humidity up here.
Do these rolls work in a Bambu AMS? Noob question as they say they don't work with cardboard rolls.
Absolutely!
Just got some Polymaker LW for a project where I needed some weights savings, seems like good stuff. Was nice that I could just order from Amazon.
Awesome!
Came across this video and after watching it, I went to the Polymaker website. I was shocked to see so many PLA types.
Asked them for their suggestion on which one is best for making items to sell and they suggested the Polylite PLA Pro.
What is your experience with the Polylite PLA Pro?
PLA Pro is one of the best materials that exist in 3D printing! Prints just like PLA, but stronger and more durable.
Those shelves in my video holding up hundreds of pounds of filament, are PolyLite PLA Pro.
@@LoyalMoses ok. Thanks for replying.
I haven't used Polymaker filament yet. Have always used Esun. Which of Polymaker's CF would be good to use? I just bought the K1C and have never printer in CF before.
PLA CF would be great to try first!
@@LoyalMoses Thanks. I'll check it out.
Probably is. But bambu works best with my bambu printers. Default profiles are always perfect. And its only SLIGHTLY more expensive, also they are making more and more colors/types/materials on almost a monthly basis.
Bambu Lab filament is awesome filament!!!
Is overture polymaker? Or are they separate?
I think that’s just a rumor.
Polymaker filament truly is amazing stuff. I got my first spool of it from Loyal and since that spool I have increased my private stock to almost 80 spools and I would say 70-80% of it is Polymaker now.
80 spools!? OH MY GOSH! That is crazy how fast you stocked up on filament! WOW!
Loyal i really want to thank you...... i won a kg of filament on your twitch stream and it sat for about a week before i went back into fixing my old printer..... it has been down for over a year..... i tried so many things when it started acting up but i couldnt get it right...... so i gave up...... forward to recently and i dug back into the internet and found someone that had the same issue and a fix.....AND I FIXED MINE AND IM BACK PRINTING AGAIN..... AND IM SO STOKED..... SO THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THE MOTIVATION TO DIG BACK INTO FIXING MY PRINTER..... ps mrs moses picked such a great color
This makes me so unbelievably happy! Thank you for sharing this, and I am so glad that you are back up and going! I can't wait to see what you print! Just awesome!
@@LoyalMoses still fighting bugs of a printer that has been collecting dust for over a year...... but ive gotten a few good prints off...... then something else..... but slowly getting it dialed in and tuned up
How does this stack up against Creality hyper pla? I’ve been wanting to try another but not really sure.
Ah, that hyper PLA is cool stuff! Polymaker has SonicPLA which is their high speed PLA, really good!
Little question. Is it better to buy direct or amazon. Or does it not really matter. I see that some of the prices can vary. Like the LM filament is $5 a roll more on amazon.
I think whichever is best for you! Shipping is the same speed for both!
Polymaker is my absolute favorite filament, but .... I just purchased a Bambu Lab X1C with the AMS and I've had nothing but problems with the cardboard spools. I even printed their spool covers and still had problems. Any suggestions to solve this problem? I got so frustrated I just ordered a bunch of Bambu Lab's Matte PLA. I'd love to go back to Polymaker if I could find an EASY solution to this. Hey Polymaker ... why don't you use plastic spools?
First congrats! Did you figure out why?!
Great video and great story!!! Thanks so much for sharing with us!! I do use Polymaker also...
Thank you! I really wanted to share this outside of our Twitch show. Polymaker is an amazing company and more people need to know.
are their spools ams compatible?
I use them in the AMS no problems.
@Polymaker i've got a Bambu X1C with AMS... and i'd loveto try Polyterra or even Polylite but card spool aren't the best for the AMS... Btw.. where to buy Polymaker in europe?
Cardboard spools work great in the AMS.
i like polymaker filament but i can only buy it on sale in canada its a bit out of my budge but when ever i can find a role on amazon for around 20 i but a few
At $20, get it whenever you can!
Question? In your videos, you have all of this filament on the wall behind you. Is that open rolls of filament or sealed? Everyone and their brother has come out with info about having to have a filament dryer, dry boxes, or vacuum sealing, your open rolls, etc. Is that really all that important? Is it just a lot of hype?
Different filament types are hygroscopic for sure, that’s just science. But, it is definitely exaggerated by a lot of people who know nothing about it. Some of that filament is 3 years old and we print with it regularly. Also, we do live on a mountain with a lower humidity level than most others, which helps us here. We do have to dry our nylon and other exotic filaments that are more hygroscopic than PLA and PETG.
I have won a couple spools of Polymaker from LM! And have now bought alot more! Its so easy to print with, and prints consistently! Plus LM has a great show! Definitely someone I would love to meet someday!
Congratulations! Thank you for the kind words!
Hey mate,
Will from QLD Australia here.
I have never tried poly maker, I have only used Bambu lab filament.
You are making me think about trying poly-maker.
I bought a Bambu Lab X1C, that is why I use Bambu filament.
I will follow your advice on how to try get some to try it out.
Cheers,
Will
Definitely give it a try!
Hallo Loyal Moses. I have a quick question: I'm interested in building a filament storage shelf as you have. Can you quickly describe it ? Maybe with the STL File for the angle brackets? I assume you've used simply plastic laminated chipboard as the shelf. But how did you secure the filament spools and how do you install the LED strip? Thanks a lot !
Yes, home depot shelves by Rubbermaid, and the light strips are attached with the adhesive backing and they act as the bumper to prevent the filament from rolling off the shelf. On the underside I added some double sided clear sticky tape to help keep them on!
Great - thanks a lot@@LoyalMoses
I just spent my whole weekend printing some of their PETG and I must say they will be my go to from now on.
Now I’ll have to try their PLA and see how I like it and if it’s anything like the PETG I’m sure I’ll be purchasing them exclusively.
That's great to hear! Try the PLA Pro! You will LOVE it too!
Just getting into 3d printing..haven't tried poly maker yet but sure would try some out.
Welcome! 💜
I absolutely love Polymaker PLA Pro. It is the only one I buy, just got a 5kg roll. Prints like a dream. I did not know you did a Halloween drive too, I am excited to do the Xmas drive this year. I will have to go search past Halloween drives. Love your channel!!!!
Fantastic! And thank you so much! Can't wait for us to start the next print drive!
Never tried polymaker filament before. But that LM-green looked awesome!
Just discovered 3D-printing a couple a months ago and your videos and twitch channel helped me a lot how to think about my own goales with 3D-printing.
Mostly use basic colours right now and I'm a little afraid to know what brand to trust? And some of the other branded 1kg 25$ spools of basic pla-filament that I orderd are really bad! Orderd some of them in bulk because I thoght I was smart and it became the opposite.
Still trying to find a good filamentbrand with nice coulurs that not just becomes waste +25% of the time. For a newbie it's a bit of a jungle.
Keep up the good work!
Thank you! Welcome. Well, if you come and watch my live shows and hang out in our discord, you'll get to see all of the cool stuff and be able to ask questions and see for yourself what we do with different filaments, brands, printers, etc! We'd love to have you and help!
Thank you for the video. I'm very happy that I come across this channel. I'm new to 3d printing and was trying to figure out what filament would be good to use. I'm a fan of any company that great and responsive customer service. I'm going to start buying Polymaker.
Thank you!
Have not tried Polymaker. Curious to see how it preforms.
How can I get your loyal filament. Amazon?
Try it! You’ll love it! You can get my filament on Amazon or loyal.ms/LMSparkleGreen
I'm here because I randomly bought a spool of Polymaker Polylite PETG and I noticed it bridged perfectly. I was looking at videos why there stuff if so much better and that's why I am watching this video. Haha
I'm ordering that sparkle green tonight I've never used polymaker so I'm taking your advice and trying it
Thank you!!! 💜 I’m so positive you’ll have the same experience I do! 🔥
Wow every comment is replied to, you sir are a madman 🤣 Definitely gonna go for polymaker when i have some money, parents cant afford any rn. But for when i have the funds i wanted to ask what filament (pla, petg and so on) is best for practical prints that look good. Plant pots, vases, small shelves, hangars and so on? thanks in advanced!
I am a mad man! 😆 Join our discord, we’d love to have you and answer all the questions you have! 💜
i dont even have a printer yet and i have gone and looked at your filament multiple times and close to just buying to buy it. thank you for the great content. man i want a printer but totally lost to what to pull the trigger on. so many options and so many people with different views its hard to know what should really matter. and i know its my decision end the end. Ive thought about getting used but dont know. Maybe you could do a video on used printers and if worth it.
Awe! That it just awesome, and I really appreciate that. Join our discord! Tons of good info.
loyal.ms/discord
Yeah, I remember winning it a year ago. Was great stuff. Have bought a lot since. And as you, and Mrs. LM know won quite a bit as well.
Almost a year!
I actually had some really good customer service from Polymaker the other day. They were super responsive and worked with me on what I wanted.
Fantastic to hear!
I hope you’re right, because I just ordered a load of poly maker filament because of you. I’ve purchased almost exclusively Overture for the last four years.
I am positive you’ll have a similar experience to mine! Amazing quality.
I won a roll from you the week i bought my 3d printer. Polymaker has been by far the best Filament i use! The LM sparkle green is AMAZING! Thanks for sharing the story!!
Pretty darn cool! Thank you so much for being here and supporting!
I have been using them since I started in late 2020. I very rarely use other brands unless I need very low-cost boxes of 2 or 4 spools in white, gray, and black for prototypes and drafts.
Such good filament! Amazing company!
That “mistake” pink is my favorite color. I call it Coral
I am trying to decide which printer to buy. Size is my no. 1, no. 2 I would like to print in cf and nylon as well as PLA. I like the idea of multiple colors, however it is not required. I like much about the Bambu Labs CF but don’t like the amount of waste it produces in color change and is just barely large enough for my prints. I saw many of your videos and would be okay with an open air system like the sidewinder max or the Neptune 4 plus. Not sure if they will successfully print nylon. I am an engineer so I could build an enclosure and add the heat and ventilation easily if the rest of the materials would handle it. Speed is very important to me as well. I notice the Sidewinder has a new 4 pro coming out but there is no mention of a max version at this time. The sidewinder and Neptune do not have WiFi which looks to be on the new Sidewinder 4 pro. I plan on having my 3d printer setup in my outside building. Being able to print WiFi would be very advantageous. What would your suggestion be. I am still determining my budget if I get one of the less expensive models then I would just spend the additional budget on picking up some additional filament.
If you want nylon, you’ll need an enclosure. Have you considered larger industrial machines?
interesting video! am already buying polymaker filaments since they fit in my Bambu Labs AMS (thats how i found them) and i keep using them forever!
Awesome! Cool story isn't it, it's how all of this came to be!
I love their filament, too. Maybe this is the reason why Bambu Lab has it as an (only) option in their firmware besides their own filament.
You notice that too?!
@@LoyalMoses Yeah, right from the start when I bought my X1C a year ago.
However, what I really miss from many other filament manufacturers are refill spools. I really like the Bambu concept. It saves resources and is much more sustainable than always buying complete spools.
@@layeredwork
ESUN have done refill spools for quite a while now. Not sure if they were the first to offer this, but they were before Bambu Lab.
I was always curious how you got a spool! Great story!!
Thank you!
why is it better than bambu labs filament? im new to 3d printing and have a p1s and an ams so have just been buying the bambu filament
Polymaker has an amazing R&D department and is on the front lines of innovation, quality and standards for our industry! Give it a try, also Bambu filament is INCREDIBLE too!
I use Extrudr filaments for some materials that are unique, shipping can be expensive but they do offer free shipping after you buy three reels or so, and every now and again you get discount codes.
Awesome!
Love Polymaker cause I love the matte finish. It just has a unique look for my projects. Then saw 3D print generals flat dark earth, and about to order your color for my first helmet when my P1P with the AMS gets here Friday.
What’s the best way to use their filament with the AMS?
OH! Thank you for your support, that means a lot! I just put the spools straight in the AMS, they work great!
Hopefully, they will add RFID Chips to the rolls and make the spools better suited to AMS systems. It's not an absolute necessity, but it would be a very nice quality of life improvement. Especially considering most printers are moving this direction or playing with liquid color reservoirs that color a base material as it's extruded, which will still most likely be RFID connected color tanks.
Would be cool!
I new to 3D printer and decided I might just order some from here cause I really don’t know which filment to order. You have an new sub
Thank you!
I love poly maker been using them on my Ultimaker for years but now I have a new bambu, so currently trying out there filliment, but I may start going back to Polly maker
This is awesome to hear!
sounds like great filament, but why is it two or three times the price as the competition for less of the speed? (speed pla pro)
What filament is two or three times cheaper?! Polymaker is the highest quality of filament at VERY competitive pricing.
@@LoyalMoses elegoo's rapid pla plus, is less than half the cost of the speed pla pro, and it prints faster
i havent used polymaker yet but im now looking forward to trying it.
Fantastic! You’ll love it!
@@LoyalMoses great thank you
Glad I found your channel. Your info is great. My first printer, the Bambu A1 is arriving any day now. Wasn’t sure on which filament to buy first and was actually going to try some of Bambu’s. Will definitely give this a try. Thanks.
How exciting and thank you! Congratulations, you will LOVE IT!
I'm literally in the process of putting up more shelves in the room for polymaker storage right now! 😁
YES DINEC! MORE FILAMENT! 😁
I love Polymaker! Loyal Moses and the LM Show are the absolute best!
Thank you Microbus! You are so kind! 💜
What i really want is a test plate of all their colors. Wish companies offered these out. Would help a lot when trying to find out the right color.
Some companies do!
Cool vid.
Well, I've never tried Polymaker, but now I intend to give it a shot. I'm looking over their site and see the PolyLite CosPLA. I'll probably order some to try on this kit I'm about to print.
Thank you! You'll have a wonderful experience for sure. Let me know how you like it!
I love using polymaker filaments. I just wish I could find their filaments in Dual and triple color along with multi color. I use a lot of Silk finish filaments. Unfortunately I am not able to support polymaker either due to color availability and price. Amazon offers so many colors, bands and free 2 day shipping that I have to save money and time where I can. I would love to come across this color pallet from Polymaker to see what I might be missing.
Yes, the dual and triple extrusions are crazy cool! Polymaker has some duals in both polyterra and silk!
@@LoyalMoses I guess I have just over looked them.
It is good, every time i get polymaker stuff it just works. Their abs is fire also the gfN is good too.
I'm going to try Polymaker for a while. I've been an ESun PLA + fan for quite a bit, but the color consistency between rolls has been terrible. I don't do a lot of painting so I rely on colors matching.
Awesome! eSun makes great stuff! I also don’t paint!
Polymaker is amazing.
Practically everything I use comes from them😊
Yes they are!
How cool. I’m definitely checking all this out. Already tried an amazing purple from them. The only brand where the color was really the color.
Awesome!
When comes the video to the Artillery Sidewinder X4? :D
Soon!
Hi. My name is Elijah and I'm addicted to filament. It's been 5 days since my last order and 10 minutes since adding more to my Amazon wishlist.
When someone posts on Facebook to show off their print, everyone in the comments is asking for the STL and I'm asking for filament names
Haha
i am about to order 5 spules. Lets see how it goes :)
🔥🔥🔥 Fantastic! Let me know how you like it! What’s colors?!
@@LoyalMoses I am only doing "functional" prints so i ordered black and white pla, asa and petg. the pla i ordered in matte, what i have never done before, so i am excited for this one.
I'm still new to 3d printing but all I've used is Sunlu PLA + filament and love it. I'm scared to spend money on any other kind because I don't want it to be bad and a waste of money.
You won’t go wrong trying it!
I love that lm sparkle green. I never used poly maker filament yet, but man that looks nice
Thank you! It’s such a good looking filament, I’m so proud of it!
@1:55 You know One Two Feet?!? Thats amazing! lol (The song)
Polymaker ROCKS, love their filament. Keep up the great videos man
THANK YOU!
Here in Taiwan it’s expensive to get filament, but I do get polymaker from a printer manufacturer close to my house and I absolutely love it and how consistent it prints, but I’m still very limited in quantity I can get
Sorry to hear that it is expensive there!
I’m getting a Bambu lab A1 and I might have to eventually try this filament
That’s awesome! 🔥
Based off this video, I became a Polymaker fanboy. Their PLA's & PETG's are excellent & virtually trouble-free.
That’s awesome to hear! I am 100% sincere with how I feel about them and the amazing things they do for our community and industry! Thank you for sharing this!
BTW love your channel and getting into 3D printing. This is why I'm watching your 7 month old vid.... playing catch up....😊!
I have a P1S (no AMS) and 4, A1 Mini's (with AMS).
I've decided to start printing Sci-fi Star Ship models for the DIY community to assemble and paint. Most printers and sellers of the models want to go ahead and finish them so they can charge the extra painting labor. I just want to focus on a highly detailed, high quality part.
My question is what filament is going to give me the best finished results of course with the right settings? I am sure it's going to be a matte PLA. What's crazy is that I printed a few things last week in PETG-CF and wow! It's like the CF powder eliminated eliminated most of the layer lines and that wasn't even trying to. I was printing a functional part with 0.20mm layer lines and without drying. It's like the CF content got rid of any water content. And they got rid of the shininess that PETG is known for.
So would a PLA CF filament be best to use all around to get the most intense with the least amount of post processing?
These are going to be slowly printed as well... not mass produced toys. So filament cost isn't a huge issue as it will be taken care of with the price of the actual part.
Please let me know so of your opinions and possible suggestions on filaments to purchase.
Thank you! And enjoy that binging! Wow, that is a lot of machines already!
PLA-CF has a very cool finish, and yes it can make layer lines all but disappear, and a lot of people use it for that. Beautiful stuff.
You can use cospla from Polymaker, it is a matte finish as well... or just go with PolyChroma matte and give it a try too, see if you get the same results, and it won't have CF in it, so it will be easier to finish.
I always rave about Polyterra pla and it’s been a printing beast on all my printers. I needed a great green and bought the polylite dark green sparkle. Loaded it onto my Bambu lab A1 ams lite and started a print. The printer reported failed to extrude filament, unloaded the filament and tried again, printer attempts to extrude and fails. So I start looking closely at the reel and noticed that the filament is very badly wound onto the reel. Tried to unwind the reel to hopefully get the filament to untangle itself and it was useless. Is this just a rogue reel or is polylite a problem with quality control. I am disappointed in Polymaker as I have never had anything negative to say about them so far but now I will definitely be more wary buying anything other than Polyterra and will need to look elsewhere for anything else.
Just a thing that happens. Not indicative of something deeper, happens with all brands. It’s better than it was years ago for sure.
Wow they have Polysonic PLA. Now I have to try it out Thank you!
Yes, high speed! Amazing stuff!
@@LoyalMoses My Neptune 4 Pro should like it!
OK. You sold me. Like many who've gone through many kgs of filament over the years, I've settled into my preferred brands. While Polymaker was on my radar, I've yet to get a spool of different types to try. Based on your enthusiasm and Polymaker's attention to users, on my next filament order, I'll drop in some Polymaker as well and see if it'll work for me.
I think you'll love it!
Im in South Australia downunder and use and love Polymaker
Awesome!
I still need to try polymaker, I use a ton of protopasta since it has always been consistent for me. How are Polymakers ABS and ASA filaments?
Protopasta makes AMAZING filament! I've always referred to them as a boutique filament company, and Blood of My Enemies is my favorite!
Don't get their PETG it's so bad
same issue with SUNLU PETG Orange and Red...now, neon orange and soft pink instead of dark cherry red.
Oh no, just inconsistent color batching?
@@LoyalMoses the red they changed "officially" after my request if they changed the color...red was amazing...i´m not to red...but that almost bloody elegant red...now a "creamy rose" but the orange i got and asked, they denied the changes. the orange is also grat like there (neon)green pet g but i used the old orange a lot, really a slightly transluscent fruity orange! my favorite petg color. Really not great, especally if you have to provide colors to customers............
G'day to you, Loyal Moses. Ive only joined your little corner of the internet recently, and im finding it a quite informative. This vid on polymaker has been the hundredth time ive heard of them from all my U.S. Makers, but ive tried to get some locally and its in small amounts with a hefty price too. So ill stick with my no-name brands and maybe on day i can get some. From A M8 Downunder
Welcome and thank you!!!
When I bought my X1 Carbon I bought 5 rolls of Polyterra and I love it, what I don't like is the cardboard spools and having to print rims for them.
My go to filament before the X1 Carbon was Ziro, you get a quality mylar coated re-sealale bag, a card to write print notes on and a sample of their more exotic filaments, the windings are the best I have ever seen and it prints amazingly, I have much less trouble with their spool than the Polymaker one.
I’ve not printed rims for mine at all!
Total newbie here!! Just waiting on my new Bambu combo..I would love to enter for a free sample...
Congratulations!!! Get over to our discord and hang out with us when we are live on twitch!!!
