Best Buy is selling their own Insignia branded 3d Printer Filaments now? Cool, it's nice to know there are physical locations I can go to pick up a few spools when needed rather than always have to order online. Eagle eyed among you may recognize the cardboard spools that these new filaments come on. That's because the manufacturer behind BestBuy's Insignia branded 3D printer filaments is none other than Polymaker, a well-known filament producer, so there's a somewhat known element behind this already. Following the description and cross referencing, I suspect it may be a custom blend for BestBuy but seems like Insignia PLA may be similar enough to "Polysonic", as Playmaker's polysonic advertises up to 300mm/s print speeds, while insignia says up to 350mm/s. While the PLA+ I think is polymaker PLA Pro, and the Insignia PETG is likely just Polymakers standard PETG. This part is all speculation on my part beyond the fact that I know for certain these are produced by Polymaker, beyond that if they are the same plastic formulations as the above-mentioned comparisons I cannot be sure, but those seem to be the closest matches to my eye. Now onto the filament itself as I have it, it's packed like most brands that come spooled like this, individually boxed and vacuum sealed with a desiccant packet to stave off moisture. As anyone who has been printing a while can tell you, moisture and humidity are the enemy. I was able to get away with unwrapping and immediately using the filament I was sent, and suspect that you could probably getting away with that in most areas, but for best results get a filament dryer and dry boxes to store your filament. If I was making parts for sale, I'd run each roll through my dryer before use. But most new hobbyists will likely not take these extra steps. My printer is a Bambu Labs A1 Mini, so my review is going to be from printing through this printer specifically. And not through a range of printers, as I only have the one printer to play with. Now while the vacuum sealing of the spools does cause the outer rim of the cardboard spool to get deformed a bit, this doesn't really cause me any issues as my spools hand through their center hole as opposed to running on rollers on the outer rim. If you use spools on rollers or through something like the bambu labs AMS pro/AMS2 consider printing those rings that snap onto the outer edge of the spool to help it feed. You can find the settings for each filament type Insignia has right on the back of the box. Depending on the speeds your printing at, you may need to dial in specific temps up or down within it's range for the best outcome based on the temp in the room you print in, and weather you have an open air printer like the A1 mini, or an enclosed printer. I'm no expert, for me, I'm just happy if printer go brrr and doesn't catch fire or waste my plastic by failing to adhere to the print bed or itself. For the most part the filament I have been using is Bambu Labs own selection, as I bought a lot when originally bought the printer. So comparing to the filament I have been using I am getting just as good of results out of Insignia's material as I have been getting from Bambu Labs own filament. Which is great for me, as it's hard to beat the pricing Best Buy has on the basic PETGs and PLAs and not needing to buy in bulk to get good pricing is great. I'm not sure what the deal behind it all is that lets BestBuy really give us such a great deal, but it really takes the edge off of buying materials for someone just starting out or doesn't print enough to justify bulk ordering to get these kinds of prices. Benchies aside, No issues printing with this right out of the box, Printed a somewhat large (for the printbed of my A1 mini at least) storage box, was a bit of a pain to get off the print bed, but I think that was more the fact that I just cleaned the bed, and the large surface area in contact with the bed, paired with my own impatience not letting the part cool completely before trying to take it off the print bed. When printing the lid I didn't have the issue, but I also let it set for a few minutes before trying to remove it. All kind of moot though, I broke it when assembling the hinge because the holes for the m2 machine screws were a bit too small, and I didn't drill them out any to better the fitment, and it split the hinges at the layerlines, mistakes happen, but not the fault of the filiment. My own fault for trying to rush. Big recommend from me. As long as the colors you need/want are available in the material you need/want to use, I can't see a specific reason to pay more for a different brand. 3D printers aren't like desktop paper/ink printers, they aren't engineering it to force you to buy your printer filament from a single source, and the ONE 3d printer that did do that that I am aware of wasn't around for long. I'm going to recommend my colleges Makerspace Club consider this when it's time to replenish inventory.

Worked without a hitch. Worked better than some sunbu i was trying to use.

Very happy with this filament. Good for the price aswell!!

A great product that works very well and at a great price

PLA prints well, great price. My only gripe and the reason why it's not 5 stars is because of the cardboard spool. Really wish it came as a refill or with a better spool.
