Lately I’ve been using inland brand natural Pla. It prints so nice and I find that it adheres to the print bed really well. My go to filament brand used to be Amolen but some of these cheaper filaments have gotten so good in recent years.

I didn’t know that they worked with polymaker for their ASA. I knew that Esun is their PLA/+ manufacturer though. I do miss those esun masterspools since they have switched to the cardboard spools. I’m glad that the spooless filament refills are still available. So far I’ve heard great things about atomic and I’ll have to give them a try. I also like overture a lot for their PLA and their PETG.

The Inland ASA is listed as Inland PolyLite ASA, and PolyLite is a PolyMaker trademark. I read this text on their site like 30 times before I made the connection.

Stay away from Esun's matte PLA. It is almost impossible to get it to adhere to a PEI sheet, and it STINKS while printing. I love their PLA+, so I was quite disappointed with the matte.

Overture's matte is great though, and not smelly.
