Prusament PLA

Mid-range per kilogram, and the most expensive PLA in most comparisons

The only filament here that tells you what your own spool measured. Every roll carries a QR code linking to its own report: diameter along the whole length, ovality, weight. Owners who pay the premium name that consistency as the reason, and no other brand checked offers anything like it.

It is the most expensive PLA in almost any comparison, and Prusa sells it direct rather than through the marketplaces most people buy from. Prusa also states a single 215 °C nozzle figure rather than a range, which is less helpful than it sounds when you are tuning.

Prusament PLA

Best at: Knowing what you actually bought, roll after roll.

Worst at: Price, and buying it anywhere other than Prusa.
