What quality PLA filament brand have you standardized on? - eviltoast

Typically I would just buy whatever brand had the cheapest white color PLA (I like to paint my print) and quality wasn’t always top of mind. Now I have several prints that I want to do in all kids of different colors and quality matters. Given the new color and quality requirements, it no longer makes sense to get the cheapest.

What brand is of good to excellent quality that also offers a decent range of colors?

I mostly run my prints through Ender 3 Pros

Edit: Thank you for everyone’s suggestions! Certain brands are being recommended often so I’m going to start experimenting with those! Keep being awesome!

    I’ve really like the Overture PLA Plus that I’ve used so far. Makes nice prints with fine details. Threads on a support stand screw came out much better I expected. Using an Ender 3 S1 Pro with the 0.4mm tip. Just got a roll of Polymaker PLA Pro in the mail today actually, hoping I have time to try it this weekend. Expecting good things from it.

      I’m a huge fan of Overture 3D matte PLA. It’s inexpensive, and just prints really well with few problems.
