What quality PLA filament brand have you standardized on?

What quality PLA filament brand have you standardized on? - Lemmy.world

Typically I would just buy whatever brand had the cheapest white color PLA (I like to paint my print) and quality wasn’t always top of mind. Now I have several prints that I want to do in all kids of different colors and quality matters. Given the new color and quality requirements, it no longer makes sense to get the cheapest. What brand is of good to excellent quality that also offers a decent range of colors? I mostly run my prints through Ender 3 Pros

Primaselect PLA.
It is said to be 12 times stronger than regular PLA. I can confirm that it is strong. Maybe not “12 times”.
It’s fluid and easy to print, it tends to warp a little. More than regular PLA, much less than ABS. I print it on a non heatable bed, so it’s not that bad.
Why I love it : the colors are vivid ! The magenta is really magenta.
