Customer Ratings & Reviews

Insignia’s PLA+ like their other filaments is produced by Polymaker, not sure if it’s the same formulation of PLA+ or pro, that polymaker sells themselves directly or not, but if you need to print something and want to overall ease of printing in PLA, but need the additional strength, this is a good option. Print setting like with all their filaments are right on the box, and each spool comes vacuum sealed with a desiccant pack to fight moisture. I was able to print right from the package with no moisture related issues, but I recommend storing in an airtight container with desiccant when not in use or buying making a drybox specifically. Moisture is the enemy. In my A1 mini I didn’t have any issues printing with this, It fed well without and problems, I’m not exactly a guru with 3d printing so as long as the printer goes brrr and doesn’t burn down the house when making the latest doodad I decided to print, I’m happy. At the end of the day it’s not going to change your life, this isn’t a miracle new filament, but it’s a good price and works just as well as the plastic I’ve already got that’s priced 30% or more above it. Beyond buying in large bulk orders you’re not really going to get a per spool deal better than this, so great for newcomers dipping their toes in as well as those who print a lot.

I'm not surprised that Insignia has jumped on the filament bandwagon. It seems like any tech and craft store now carries filament, either their own brand or another commercially made variety. 3d printing is a prime market right now and users go through spools and spools of the stuff. And for better or worse, filament in any chemical type (asa, abs, pla, petg, pla+, etc) should all be the same performance as long as colors stay accurate in the spool and between spools. And that was my experience here with Insignia. The PLA had a decent moisture content out of it's packaging (25%), but I'm an old school printer and almost always throw filament in a dryer to bring it down to 20% or under. Once there, I put it in my printer and it performed exactly as expected. Good adhesion and color accuracy with no see through issues like you get with some cheaper white filament. I will say that I don't like using cardboard spools in any printer where the spools roll instead of are hung, but this spool is the standard 200mm and there are plenty of spool guards that users can print to protect their printer. Other than that, if you need some spools to finish a job, you'll like be able to use this.

The white Insignia PLA+ has been another pleasant surprise. After years of printing primarily with Hatchbox branded PLA on our Ender 3 Pro, I was looking for a locally available alternative that didn't sacrifice quality. This filament printed exactly as expected with reliable first layers, consistent extrusion, and clean, crisp finished parts. The recyclable cardboard spool also worked flawlessly throughout the print and is a nice environmentally conscious improvement over plastic spools. Some reviews did call out this as a negative but in our experience have not yet noticed any difference from previous plastic spools. For only a few dollars more than standard PLA, PLA+ is a worthwhile option when your prints need a little extra toughness without moving to more demanding materials. I still reach for standard PLA for simple display pieces and prototypes, but PLA+ has become my preferred choice for organizers, shop accessories, and parts that may get bumped or handled frequently. Between the print quality, competitive pricing, and the ability to pick it up the same day at Best Buy, Insignia has earned a spot alongside Hatchbox as one of my go-to filament brands.

After years of printing almost exclusively with Hatchbox PLA on our Ender 3 Pro, I was interested to see how Best Buy's new Insignia PLA would compare. The white filament has printed exactly as expected with no surprises. Layer adhesion has been consistent, extrusion has been smooth, and dimensional accuracy has been right in line with what we've come to expect from Hatchbox. There was minimal fine tuning on the printer settings when changing PLA brands. The recyclable cardboard spool is a nice touch, feeding smoothly without any issues while also reducing plastic waste compared to traditional spools. This Insignia spool for standard PLA is right in line with others, plus it's a very competitive option, especially when you can pick it up locally instead of waiting for an Amazon delivery. If you don't need the additional strength or impact resistance that PLA+ offers, this standard PLA handles everyday prints, prototypes, organizers, and display models perfectly. So far, it's become an easy recommendation and gives us another reliable filament option whenever we need a roll the same day.

I've been extremely impressed with this Insignia 1.75mm White PLA Filament. From the first print, it delivered consistent extrusion, smooth layer lines, and excellent overall print quality. The filament is wound neatly on the spool, feeds smoothly, and has been completely hassle-free with no tangles or clogging issues. It is designed to be tangle-free, easy to print, and compatible with standard 1.75mm FDM printers. The white color is bright, clean, and very consistent from start to finish, making it perfect for prototypes, decorative prints, and functional parts. Print surfaces come out looking smooth with sharp details, and I’ve had great results using standard PLA settings. Other customers have also praised the material quality and color consistency, which mirrors my experience. I also appreciate the eco-friendly cardboard spool and the clear labeling that makes setup easy. For the price, this filament offers excellent value and performance that rivals more expensive brands. Pros: - Consistent white color - Smooth, reliable extrusion - Great print quality and detail - Tangle-free spool - Excellent value for the price Cons: - Packaging could include a resealable storage bag. - White filament may need slight tuning for the best opacity on thin prints. - Sometimes difficult to find in stock locally. Overall, these are minor drawbacks. For the price, this is an excellent PLA filament that performs as well as many premium brands, and I would definitely buy it again. I would definitely recommend this filament to anyone looking for a dependable PLA option for everyday 3D printing.

And for better or worse, filament in any chemical type (asa, abs, pla, petg, pla+, etc) should all be the same performance as long as colors stay accurate in the spool and between spools. And that was my experience here with Insignia. The PLA had a higher moisture content than I like working with out of it's packaging (28%), but I'm an old school printer and almost always throw filament in a dryer to bring it down to 20% or under. Once there, I put it in my printer and it performed exactly as expected. Good adhesion and color accuracy and when I used it on a holographic plate, the reflectiveness really shown. I will say that I don't like using cardboard spools in any printer where the spools roll instead of are hung, but this spool is the standard 200mm and there are plenty of spool guards that users can print to protect their printer.

Once there, I put it in my printer and that's when I started having some issues. The default filament settings in my slicer where not playing well with this and I had to do a couple of test prints to really get it dialed in. I ended up needing to raise the nozzle temp up to 223C to keep the printer from under flowing and it definitely liked having the vents of my print enclosure closed instead of open. Beyond that, it did good results, but I think your average user will get better results from PETG if you need something more impact resistance than PLA. The white had very little translucency, which you sometimes get from cheaper manufacturers who don't put enough pigment in to their batches.

First off I usually only use materials that come from OEM. However, when this was online and I needed some fast, I grabbed it. I was surprised by the quality and ease of use this has. 1. nice tight wind on roll 2. thick cardboard spool gives it a nice solid, smooth feed when I used it 3. no issues with feeding in to AMS on my machine 4. consistent thickness and I did not see any bubbles when using Things to consider 1. cardboard spools suck up the moisture and will get out of "round" as they are being used. 2. I had to dry the filament when I got it. I do this anyway, but this package was not sealed all the way. 3. had to adjust temp on print profile as this does not have a section for this brand. So make sure you test it out and adjust to your needs 4. retraction will need to be changed as this will slightly creep with temp at normal settings on printer. So far, I have used it and will keep this in mind for quick print needs. I might keep some on hand for when I run out of a color later. Get it and enoy your printing.
