AI Help

It's generally recommended to buy filament from a trusted source with good reviews, even if you're purchasing your printer from a different vendor. This ensures you receive high-quality filament that is compatible with your printer.

As for the difference between basic PLA and PLA matte, the main distinction is the finish. Basic PLA has a glossy finish, while PLA matte has a more subdued, matte appearance. Both types of filament are PLA and have similar printing characteristics, so your choice will depend on the aesthetic finish you prefer for your prints.

I just buy bulk from them whenever I get a new printer but aside from that I just go on amazon and look for good deals
