If you want to create a huge project or print the same thing over and over, you need a lot of filament. Elegoo's bulk discount makes each roll cost just $11, a fantastic bargain. It's only black PLA, but it's good enough if you're postprocessing it anyway.
Ten rolls of filament for $110 is amazing, and if you can afford the initial outlay, you'll save yourself a bunch of money.
Hyper PLA is designed for the new generation of fast 3D printers. It has a higher viscosity than other PLA, meaning it flows better at high speed. If you have a Bambu P1P or the Creality K1, this is the type of material you should be using when printing at full speed.
Burnt Titanium PLA is the only filament I have on a subscription from Amazon. I get a fresh roll every month. So when it's on sale, even if it's only a few dollars off, I end up saving a ton. Right now, you can save an extra 10% if you clip the coupon as well.
The mix of purple, blue, black and silver flecks makes layer lines vanish and gives one of the nicest finishes you can get on a 3D print that you haven't sanded and painted yourself.
More experienced printers may want to grab this spool of Overture PETG filament while it's on sale at Amazon. It's one of our favorite filaments on the market right now, and while it's a little harder to work with than PLA filament, it offers the heat resistance of ABS filaments without the toxic fumes. It's compatible with most FDM printers, as long as the nozzle can get hot enough.
Rainbow filament is a great look on models like vases as it has an interesting transition to an otherwise uniform design. Creality's rainbow PLA has a fairly short transition through the colors, so you can see a lot of the rainbow effect on smaller models as well as larger ones.
