Customer Ratings & Reviews

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 lable Polymaker filament but no matter what, it works great!

Testing the Insignia Black PLA+ was a great opportunity to see if the "plus" formulation actually justifies the five-dollar price premium over their standard line. While this extra margin pushes it slightly out of the ultra-budget tier, it proved to be a highly capable performer on the Bambu Lab P2S and managed to handle daily printing tasks with ease. Running the default Generic PLA profile in Bambu Studio with absolutely zero manual tuning yielded a finished surface quality that was slightly cleaner and more consistent than standard PLA, though the visual improvement is admittedly a subtle one. The real standout feature of this material is its impressive bridging performance; it handles steep overhangs and wide gaps without any supports remarkably well, leaving clean, tight spans with virtually no sagging or drooping on the underside of the print. Additionally, the finished parts exhibit a nice touch of physical flexibility instead of being completely stiff, giving functional models a much sturdier feel in the hand and a higher resistance to shattering under pressure. For anyone needing a tough black filament that masters difficult geometry and behaves significantly better under mechanical stress, the slight upgrade over the standard version is highly noticeable in the final product.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 met all of the printing capabilities of the Bambu A1 series printer we have for printing berious thing in home and fornuse outside of our home.

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.

The product printed great and there were no tangles or any other issues. Did not test the strength of the layer adhesion, but seems to be good so far. I plan on getting more of this filament in bulk since i've had issues with tangles from the Bambu Lab black PLA that i've been using. The only downside is the cardboard roll that it comes on so I can't use it in my Bambu Lab P1S AMS without adding bumpers to the outer edges of the spool.

Works beautifully, easy to use, simple to install, satisfactory, high quality, well priced

Worked good for my printer. Loaded in with no issues and no issues during the print process.

Just bought a Bambu A1 AMS Lite combo and saw these just came out. For the price I figured I’d give them a try. Bought a red and blue and have printed multiple things without issue. One print was even a 7 hour print as well as 2 models that also move. All printed as expected and didn’t break. Will buy more. I read these are Polymaker just rebranded and they’ve been great. Neither roll has tangled or slipped on the AMS

So glad Best Buy is expanding their filament selection! Works well, I do wish the instructions gave more direction on how to use with the Bambu printers especially because this is my first time owning a 3d printer. They are talking to experts only who know how to use the non-brand versions.

Prints very well in a Bambu Lab P2S. No issues yet. Spool is cardboard/pressboard but is sturdy and has not left any dust yet in my AMS. Will purchase again.

I have a Bamboo P1S and it printed like a charm. The filament didn't need to be dried and spooled perfectly. The print quality is high and can only notice the print lines at the seams. Highly recommend.

This product exceeded expectations from the moment I opened the box. The quality is top‑tier sturdy build, clean finish, and clearly made with care. Everything feels intentional, from the materials to the way it functions. It performs exactly as advertised, and honestly, even better. What stood out most is how reliable it is. No gimmicks, no shortcuts — just a well‑made item that does its job perfectly. You can tell the creators actually care about delivering something solid. If you’re on the fence, don’t be. This is one of those purchases you feel good about the second you try it. Highly recommended.
