Lot of mixed reviews. Company based in Florida (can get them at $9.99 a kg if you pick up in person), also has a footprint in Argentina.
Reddit seems to hate it. Lots of bad reviews. Slickdeals seems to not mind it. Mid line reviews. Edit: Seems newish as well. Only 1 single tweet on Twitter with "GST3D" in it. Reviews on their Facebook are mid line as well. |

If that is how the winding looked out of the box, I have to agree it is nasty.

But tagged. If it is even just mid line, at that price, might be worth a couple rolls for less important prints and tests/prototypes.

That cheap for US made seems... questionable.
If it is badly spooled its worse than useless. Interested to hear your results, but I've bought many "lightning deals" on Amazon from random sellers that were so bad a print couldn't complete. |

It was tightly wound on the spool, when i freed the end, it un spooled a revolution and stacked up on one side

First layer adhesion looks good
i'm sending a 10 hour print it looked a tad stringy so I bumped the temp from 215 to 219 looking good |

It is unreeling fine, this gold filament is partially translucent
I think this will be cool for lithopanes |

It works fine at first, then as you get farther into the spools they start jamming and killing prints. |

You must play the game. You can't win. You can't break even. You can't quit the game.

You can't let it unwind and let loops get under loops
it gets spooled on warm and sets with a curve you have to strip off a few feet of coils and wind it back on correctly if it gets tangled |

Printed at 200/60, worked great, consistent feed, great adhesion, did really well on the overhangs. Zero complaints. Would gladly buy more, especially at below $15 a kilo. |

I do want to be careful of too many pics and comments that are not posting deals; the direction of the thread would get lost as being a tacked resource thread.

Stuff has been printing so smoothly for me (almost 2kg in the last week and a half), and with the number of projects lined up for me to do, figured I might as well keep buying it while it is cheap. |

Two weeks ago when I was looking for my first 3D printer the CR-10 V2 was one of my top choices. This seller, ToAuto / FASTTOBUY (Big Chinese Reseller) on Amazon had the CR-10 V2 with a $60 off coupon, making it $439 so I bought it.
The coupon deal I bought from ended a couple days later, but I noticed this morning that the coupon is back up again in case anyone is looking for one of these for $439. Failed To Load Product Data ETA: And the coupon ended again sometime today and is gone. I've seen it twice now starting on a Monday morning, so keep checking if you're interested. This one didn't seem to last quite as long as the last coupon did. |

View Quote I don't have that problem, thankfully. I did use this code and the previous Geeetech one posted by David_ESM, so thanks to him for helping me stock up on some cheap PLA to play around with! It seems this Anycubic code can only be applied to one roll and that's it. I had two rolls in my cart and on checkout it only applied it to the least expensive roll, so I removed that roll and bought the more expensive roll with the 40% off code and the stacked $3 off discount. Then I tried buying the second roll and got the $3 off for it, but it wouldn't let me use the coupon again, so I backed out of the order. Seems to be limit one roll for the 40% off. |

If you just want cheap PLA and don't care about much else... 3D-Fuel recycled PLA. Scraps and mistakes remelted down to remake a roll.

This is kind of a strange deal. The more you buy the cheaper it becomes. Might work for someone out there who wants all this stuff together. Or even most of it together.
If you buy: Ender 3 Enclosure 1M Capricorn Bowden Tubing Hotend Glass Bed Ender 3 Silent Board All together (don't forget to hit the couple 20% off coupons), when you go to checkout, you all of a sudden get a huge list of discounts. Takes the total from $167 to $48.57 before tax. |
