Customer Ratings & Reviews

So if you do any amount of 3D printing, you know there are tons of options for filament these days, but also not all are equal. Some are better than others, some are amazing, and some are outright horrible. So far, my experience with the Insignia PLA+ filament has been somewhere above average but below high end average. But I think the price is a HUGE factor in filament and the fact that this Insignia filament is so much cheaper and I can grab it in stores (assuming your local best buy has it in stock), is a huge bump in the pro column. So price is great, availability is great, how about quality? The PLA+ filament from Insignia is great in terms of strength and ability to print. The black color in particular is a nice deep, shiny black. Very similar to other filaments I have had in black. I think the black is a good enough color that you could easily use this for visual prints or practical. With proper print settings, you should have no visual issues with the black PLA+. You could use this in test printing or for prints that are more functional than visual, this will work perfectly fine. The actual strength and quality is quite good as well. I printed a basic rectangle shape and tested the flex and scratch wear and it seemed within standards for PLA+. Again, given the price, I am NOT complaining about a little less quality in the comparison. If you use this for testing, you can get a much closer to final print look than you would with other “discount” filaments that will actually cost more than this. But because it’s much cheaper, you can use this filament to test print and work out your plate without feeling like you lost a ton of money. I haven’t even calibrated the filament or dried it and it’s still working great, right out of the box. I assume it will only be better once I dial it in. Overall, I am really happy Insignia is getting in the game and making a quality spool of filament I can buy in person, at a store, for less money than a budget filament. The roll comes neatly packaged in a vacuum sealed bag which is inside a cardboard box. It’s easy to store because it’s the same size and shape of all the other filament boxes I have. The spool is on a cardboard roll BUT surprisingly, I did not have any issues when using it with my bambu AMS2. Something I can not say about other brands with cardboard rolls. Usually I have to use special reel covers to help the AMS not error out, but after doing many hours of printing, I had 0 AMS errors. I actually trust cardboard rolls again, how crazy is that? So if you need a reel of filament quickly, you need it cheap, but you need it to be good quality still, the insignia PLA+ has got you covered.

Insignia is BestBuy's house brand and they've jumped on the 3D Printing train with their own white label filament that you can get delivered or even pick up in-store at your nearest BestBuy. I received 5 spools in white/black PLA, PLA+ and PETG and they arrived in excellent condition, vacuum-sealed individually, super high-quality re-usable box and dry ready to print. I popped two spools into my BambuLabs P2S and they were ready to print. The only major negatives compared to Bambu filament is that these Insignia spools are made of cardboard instead of plastic and they do not include the RFID tag which allows the AMS2 Pro to autodetect your filament type and color. I'll likely use my Bambu RFIDs and transfer them over, or move the Insignia filament to an empty Bambu spool to get this functionality but they work fine otherwise, you can just label and set them in Bambu Studio and everything works fine. In terms of print quality, the prints came out great and had no issues with adhesion or bleeding or stacking with other Bambu lab filament. And at nearly half the price at full price and even a few bucks cheaper on sale than Bambu filament, these are a great alternative especially if you need to pick some filament up locally to finish a print and can't wait. I did a little research and a lot of people seem to think this is OEM/white label Polymaker filament but no matter what, it works great!

Bottom Line: Insignia’s PLA+ 1.75mm Filament prints smoother, more durable prints than regular PLA. Pros: prints better than regular PLA; box and spool shows print parameters for different filaments Cons: none Review: For those who might be newer to 3D printing, PLA and PLA+ are slightly different filaments with PLA+ typically costing a little bit more than regular PLA. Although PLA and PLA+ are the same type of plastic, PLA+ has some additives that make it more durable and heat resistant than PLA. Conveniently, PLA+ uses the same print settings as regular PLA (the only difference is the max print speed on PLA+ is slightly slower), and so it's also easy to use. Out of the box, Insignia’s PLA+ filament printed without hassle on my Elegoo Neptune 4 Max. My first print was a phone stand, which took about 2.5 hours. I used the slicing software’s default PLA settings for nozzle and print bed temperatures with 0.2mm layer height. I printed without adhesion or supports. Overall, the print itself turned out really well. PLA+ prints a little smoother than PLA, and the layer lines are only really noticeable upon close inspection. Frankly, there's no real downside to PLA+ over PLA except that it costs a tiny bit more per roll.

PLA filament is the easiest to use and serves as one of the most popular for those just getting into 3D Printing. This Insignia brand filament prints very well at the Bamboo branded temperatures with ease. It does not come on a plastic spool, instead on a cardboard spool. This roll can be easily transitioned to a reusable plastic spool if needed. This is the ideal filament type if you are looking to make quick projects and prototypes. The filament size is the same as others sitting around 1.75mm, it passed the flex testing to make sure it was not too brittle before use. Initial setup is the same as your Bamboo setup for install, cleaning when changing colors, and coil bleed offs during use. Overall print quality is the same as others that I have tried and all prints have been successful with your standard shrinkage and slight changes that would normally need to be accounted for. Overall the Insignia filament provided great reproduction details and layer adhesion while it did not stick heavily to the print bed making it easily removed from the print bed. The selection of colors available makes it a good buy at the price Best Buy has it listed for everyday printing projects.

PLA-Plus is very similar in nature to standard PLA, with improved characteristics to aide in overcoming limiting factors to PLA. This is a stronger durability while being more heat-resistant. Knowing this, found the prints to come out cleaner on the surface of very detailed prints; dragon and special detail-oriented prints. Typically, these colors are brighter while be less prominent to shrinkage. Using this to print out some of the clamps we use to hold cables and boards together proved its durability to other filaments used at a higher cost. Definitely worth a switch to cut your printing costs down. I did try printing outside of the Bamboo standard settings to see if there were any changes and while most other options worked, there were some issues to note. I did find the profiles of Polymaker worked just as well as the Bamboo profiles in printing. This worked great in test prints for clips to hold filament in place when having to chnage spools to another filament format to meet printing needs.

Bottom Line: Insignia’s PLA 1.75mm Filament is reliable and delivers hassle free 3D printing. Pros: prints reliably out the of the box; box and spool show print parameters for different filament types Cons: none Review: For those new to 3D printing, PLA is generally the widely-used "all-purpose" filament for 3D printing, striking the perfect balance of cost, reliability/ease of use, and durability. In this regard, Insignia has delivered on all three categories. Out of the box, Insignia’s PLA filament printed with no major issues on my Elegoo Neptune 4 Max using default PLA settings and default "fast" (0.2mm layer height) printing. My first print was a stand to display small toy cars, which involves printing multiple pieces and assembling them together. The pieces turned out perfectly and the stand fit together without any issues. I then printed a fidget toy for my daughter, which included two pieces that fit together well. As a more minor point, I do like that Insignia provides a table on the back of the box listing the different print settings used for different filament types. I also like that the spool is well labeled with the type of filament and printer settings, which is more convenient than trying to look things up if you're switching spools while at the printer.

This review is for the white and black Insignia PLA+ filament. I've been a big fan of PLA+ filament since the first started coming out. They tend to be far more reliable and refined than regular PLA and this Insignia brand did not disappoint. In fact, I may have to switch to this over my usual brand - if for no other reason than its cost and availability. This filament comes vacuum sealed on a basic (but pretty sturdy) cardboard spool, wound properly so there's no worry of snags. Suggested temps are labelled clearly (which I appreciate). I tried printing the standard "benchy" and a calibration cube. The only settings on my printer were for "Generic PLA" and I made sure the temperature range was correct. Otherwise I performed no other configuration or calibration. The results were REALLY good - so much so that I could immediately tell the difference over the standard Insignia PLA. The lines were narrower, creating better details in the prints. I'm actually pleasantly surprised how good this filament it. Plus it's a little less expensive than similar PLA+ I usually stock my workshop with. All in all, this is really good filament and it has surpassed my expectations. A special note about the white PLA+: I noticed its quality of white isn't as "purely" white as its PLA counterpart. This is a minor thing and didn't seem to affect the overall better quality of the PLA+ filament over the PLA.

Bottom Line: Insignia’s PLA+ 1.75mm Filament works well and delivers more durable, smoother prints than regular PLA. Pros: prints well out the of the box; box and spool show print parameters for different filaments Cons: none Review: For those who might be newer to 3D printing, PLA and PLA+ are different filament options. PLA is generally considered "all-purpose" filament for balancing cost and ease of use, making it ideal for most typical print projects. PLA+ is, as the name implies, is the same chemical plastic as PLA but with additives to enhance heat resistance and durability. One of the additional benefits of PLA+ is that prints tend to be smoother than regular PLA. Out of the box, Insignia’s PLA+ filament printed without hassle on my Elegoo Neptune 4 Max. My first print was a gaming controller holder. I used the slicing software’s default PLA settings for nozzle and print bed temperatures with 0.2mm layer height. I didn't adjust any other settings other than adding an adhesion layer. The print itself turned out perfectly. The only minor issue was that I added the adhesion layer, and, with PLA is a bit easier to remove. With PLA+, the adhesion border printed pretty smoothly and adhered, perhaps, too well to the final print.

I’ll admit, when I first saw this Insignia Black PLA, I expected it to be just okay. When you buy budget filament, you usually brace yourself for a fight with clogs, weird diameter swings, or brittle plastic. Instead, this stuff turned out to be the quiet, unassuming hero of my workshop—the kind of reliable performer that just shows up and gets the job done without complaining. I ran this spool through my Bambu Lab P2S using the absolute default "Generic PLA" profile in Bambu Studio. I didn't spend a single second tuning settings or calibrating flow rates. I just threw it on the spool holder, hit print on a standard Benchy, and watched it go. The results were flawless. The Benchy came out incredibly clean with no stringing, perfect layer lines, and excellent bed adhesion on my textured plate. It handled the high speeds of the P2S without a single hiccup. This filament easily rivals Bambu’s own Basic PLA in print quality, but at a fraction of the cost. It gives you that exact same set-it-and-forget-it convenience, delivering a deep, clean black finish that looks great on functional parts. If you are tired of overpaying for daily prototyping filament, this is a total budget bargain that punches way above its weight class.

This review is for the white and black Insignia PLA+ filament. I've been a big fan of PLA+ filament since the first started coming out. They tend to be far more reliable and refined than regular PLA and this Insignia brand did not disappoint. In fact, I may have to switch to this over my usual brand - if for no other reason than its cost and availability.

The lines were narrower, creating better details in the prints. I'm actually pleasantly surprised how good this filament it. Plus it's a little less expensive than similar PLA+ I usually stock my workshop with. All in all, this is really good filament and it has surpassed my expectations.

Testing the Insignia White PLA+ offered a direct comparison to see if the five-dollar price difference compared to their baseline white translates to better overhangs and cleaner details. It sits at a slightly higher price point, but it proved to be a highly reliable and low-maintenance material on the Bambu Lab P2S that handles complex models with ease. Using standard Bambu Studio settings with zero manual calibration, the resulting print quality was slightly sharper and less chalky than the standard white, though the overall visual upgrade is fairly subtle. The most impressive aspect of the print was how cleanly the material behaves when running without supports; the bridging over open gaps is incredibly tidy and tight, avoiding the drooping, messy stringing, and clumping that often plague heavily pigmented white filaments. Furthermore, the finished parts possess a much higher level of durability, offering a bit of bend and structural flexibility rather than snapping instantly under pressure. For projects that require a bright white finish, beautiful bridging over difficult gaps, and a bit of extra toughness to survive daily handling, this upgraded formula delivers a clear functional advantage.

I usually dread buying cheap white filament because the heavy pigment they use to make it opaque often makes it print rough, clumpy, or brittle. However, Insignia White PLA completely shattered those expectations. It is the ultimate low-maintenance workhorse that sits quietly in your dry box until you need a painless, high-quality print. I loaded the spool onto my Bambu Lab P2S and ran my test Benchies and calibration blocks using the standard "Generic PLA" profile in Bambu Studio. I skipped the manual calibrations entirely to see if it would fail at high speeds, but the printer chewed right through it. The surface finish is surprisingly smooth, with crisp overhangs and fantastic layer cohesion on the PEI bed. It easily gives Bambu's proprietary Basic PLA a run for its money. You get that same seamless, plug-and-play experience without the premium price tag, resulting in a bright, clean white that doesn't look cheap or translucent. If you need a reliable, budget-friendly white PLA for everyday printing, this spool is an absolute no-brainer.

Bottom Line: Insignia's PLA 1.75mm Filament offers reliable, hassle free printing. Pros: works as it should; well-labeled; cardboard spool Cons: none Review: Out of the box, Insignia's white PLA filament delivered a flawless print on my Elegoo Neptune 4 Max. My first print was a shelf stand (my bookcase is also white), which uses a honeycomb design for the top, four legs, and a brace on each leg. Using default PLA settings for nozzle and print bed temperatures and default speed settings (e.g., 0.2mm layer height, 15% infill, etc.), the print took about 6 hours to complete. One of the other things I really like about Insignia's filament is that both the box and spool are well-labeled. The back of the box provides a comparison table of different types of filaments and the settings that should be used for each type. The spool itself is also well-labeled, which also indicates what filament it is and the print settings. Additionally, the spool is made of cardboard, which is more environmentally friendly to dispose of than plastic ones.

I have been running the green Insignia PLA+ 1.75mm filament through my setup over the last week, and it has consistently exceeded my expectations. Finding a reliable, everyday filament that requires minimal tweaking can be a challenge, but this spool delivers straight out of the box. What Stands Out Exceptional Print Quality: The extrusion is remarkably smooth and consistent. I experienced zero issues with clogging or under-extrusion, even during longer, multi-hour print jobs. The dimensional accuracy seems spot on, resulting in clean layers and sharp details. Vibrant, True-to-Life Color: The green is bright, solid, and completely opaque. It maintains its vibrant finish post-print without looking dull or washed out, making it perfect for functional parts that need high visibility or decorative models. Reliable Bed Adhesion: The PLA+ adheres perfectly to the build plate with a standard heated bed. I had no warping or lifting on the corners, and the finished pieces popped off effortlessly once the plate cooled down. Tangle-Free Spooling: The filament is neatly wound. I did not encounter a single bind or tangle, which provides great peace of mind when leaving the printer unattended. The Verdict This Insignia PLA+ offers outstanding performance at a highly competitive price point. It strikes the perfect balance between strength and ease of use. Whether you are prototyping functional parts or running off quick models, this filament provides reliable, high-quality results. Highly recommended for anyone looking to stock up on a dependable, bright green PLA+.

I've gone through quite a few rolls of PLA over the years, and this Insignia Black PLA stands out as one of the better values I've found. From the moment I loaded it into my printer, everything worked smoothly. The filament fed consistently, produced clean extrusion, and delivered excellent print quality without requiring any special tuning. It is designed for reliable, everyday 3D printing with tangle-free winding and broad printer compatibility, which matched my experience. What I liked most was the appearance of the finished prints. The black color is rich and uniform, helping hide layer lines and giving parts a polished, professional look. Small text, sharp corners, and fine details came out crisp, while larger prints maintained good dimensional accuracy throughout the build. The filament is also designed to provide smooth surfaces and consistent results, making it suitable for everything from prototypes to decorative models. One of my favorite prints with this filament was a detailed Batman figure. The deep black color was perfect for the character, and the filament captured fine details in the cape, cowl, and armor while producing a clean, professional-looking finish. Another bonus is that it prints with very little odor, making long print sessions much more pleasant. The spool arrived neatly wound, and I never experienced any tangles or feeding issues during testing. Features listed for this filament include low odor, color consistency, and clog-resistant performance. Pros: - Consistent extrusion from start to finish - Deep black color with a professional appearance - Smooth surfaces and good detail reproduction - Low odor during printing - Neatly wound, tangle-free spool - Excellent value for a 1kg roll Cons: - Cardboard spool may not be ideal for every filament storage setup - Not as impact-resistant as specialty materials like PLA+ or PETG - Additional color options would be welcome Overall, this filament delivers exactly what most makers want: reliable performance, attractive prints, and great value. It's an easy recommendation for anyone looking for a dependable black PLA for everyday 3D printing.

After using standard PLA for years, I decided to try this Insignia PLA+ White filament, and the upgrade was immediately noticeable. The filament prints just as easily as regular PLA but produces parts that feel stronger and more durable. Insignia describes this PLA+ as a toughened filament with improved impact resistance and stronger layer adhesion, and that definitely shows in the finished prints. I used it for several functional prints, including brackets and workshop organizers, and the results were excellent. The white color is clean and uniform, surfaces came out smooth, and the dimensional accuracy was spot on. The filament handled long print jobs without any issues and produced strong parts that inspired more confidence than typical PLA. One of the biggest advantages of PLA+ over standard PLA is the added toughness. While regular PLA is great for display models, PLA+ offers better impact resistance, stronger layer bonding, and improved durability while still maintaining the low-warp, low-odor, easy-printing characteristics that make PLA so popular. This filament is also designed for reliable high-speed printing and compatibility with a wide range of 1.75mm FDM printers. Pros: - Stronger and more durable than standard PLA - Excellent layer adhesion - Bright, consistent white color - Smooth surface finish - Low odor and easy to print - Great for functional parts and prototypes Cons: - Slightly more expensive than basic PLA - White filament can show dirt and print residue more easily - May require a little tuning to get the absolute best finish on high-speed prints Overall, this is an outstanding PLA+ filament that combines the simplicity of PLA with the added strength needed for real-world projects. I'll definitely be reaching for this instead of standard PLA whenever durability matters.

I purchased the Insignia PLA+ Black filament specifically for printing functional parts, and it has quickly become one of my favorite materials. The deep black color gives prints a clean, professional look, while the enhanced strength of PLA+ makes finished parts feel noticeably more durable than those printed with standard PLA. Insignia's PLA+ is designed with improved impact resistance and stronger layer adhesion while maintaining the ease of printing associated with regular PLA. What impressed me most was how easy it was to use. I didn't have to make major adjustments to my printer settings, and the filament produced smooth layers, crisp details, and consistent results throughout multiple prints. It's also designed for high-speed printing, low odor, and low warping, making it a great choice for both beginners and experienced makers. Compared to standard PLA, PLA+ offers several advantages. Parts are tougher, less brittle, and better able to withstand everyday handling. The stronger layer bonding also means printed components feel more solid and dependable, especially for brackets, tool holders, and other functional projects. Pros: - Rich, consistent black color - Stronger and less brittle than standard PLA - Excellent layer adhesion - Smooth finish with sharp details - Easy to print with minimal tuning - Low warping and low odor Cons: - Costs a little more than standard PLA - Premium performance may be unnecessary for simple display models - Limited long-term color options compared to some specialty filament brands Overall, this is an excellent PLA+ filament that delivers the perfect balance of printability, strength, and appearance. If you like the simplicity of PLA but want tougher, more durable prints, this filament is well worth the extra cost.
