Ordered my first 3d printer (ender 3 v3). What filaments should I buy why they're on sale for black Friday? - programming.dev

I already ordered 1kg hyper pla white from creality ($8). What else I can buy during black Friday? I’m not sure what I’ll be printing other than trinkets and household items. These are the ones I currently have in my cart. Please let me know your thoughts and advice. White petg 1kg from creality $6 Anycubic: petg texture gray, pla+ black, Pla strawberry pink - $26 Please let me know if I should get something else instead.

Creality and Anycubic are fine. If you’re looking for a general low-cost manufacturer try “TINMORRY” if they’re available in your region, I’ve good experiences with those.

For really high quality take a look at extrudr.

Do yourself a favour though, don’t buy bulks of filament from those cheap AliExpress brands (like Tecbears, Geeetech and such). They’re cheap and really bad.

Eryone and Jayo are pretty good (and cheap) too

Jayo is literally SUNLU,btw.

I am aware of that, but usually Jayo branded filament is cheaper ;)

I had issues with both SUNLU and Jayo. Jayo spools came tangled, smelly like hell (it was just PLA) and with “white” being a really dirty one (more light very bright grey), and SUNLU devices are total shit with their customer support not working at all. I’d never recommend those products.

I have a sunlu printer (S9+), it was a very good price, it works well enough, and I consider it was worth it for me, BUT I 100% agree about support. It came with a flex plate with a kink in it, so I couldn’t use the full build area. Reached out to support about it. Just never replied, at all. As far as I can tell the support does not actually exist. Since it was only the removable magnetic plate, I could replace it myself cheaply enough, but if I’d had a bigger issue, it could’ve been a nightmare…

I had a SUNLU filament dryer (never buy them, they’re cheap garbage). The power supply broke and I requested a new one. They replied once in broken english, but when I specified the issue in more detail and requested replacement they ghosted me as well.

I replaced the power supply myself. Shortly after the control board for the heater broke too. The whole thing is so bad it could be on temu.
