Easy to print and brilliant colours even for dark yellow. Good bed adhesion and releases nicely off the PEI plates. Colours are slightly thin. With 3 walls, I was not expecting to see my infill. Just need to increase the settings. Over all, would definitely use these again.

I can’t complain about the service at all. I haven’t tried the filament as yet, but it was recommended to me by a friend that has a print farm and she is very particular.
