My price point for standard PLA filament is $20. I don't think my machine is good enough to benefit from ultra high-end filament, and I don't think I've really had filament issues even trying out the $15 stuff just to see how bad it was. 3D solutech is my latest go-to, and hatchbox is now my 'higher end' material (the price went up!).

Great video except.... The comment about tangled rolls! I have seen spools where you can literally see the tangle beneath the unopened plastic. Why can this happen? Well Tom is right the machine can't do it, however spools are completed by operators in many factories, and if they let go of an end after it's been severed from the winder, boom => tangled spool.
@MadeWithLayers

If the spool is wound slightly loose, it may look like the spool is tangled, but this will pull itself out after a few windings. But you're right, if they actually let go of the end during production it's very possible you could get a pre-tangled spool.

THANK YOU for making a point about stiffness: there seems to be a lot of confusion and misinformation around the point of stiffness vs strength. I have the Young’s modulus of PLA at 3.3 or slightly higher, and ABS at 2.4; also a density of 1.23 for PLA and 1.12 for ABS. That puts the ‘specific stiffness’ (Young’s/density) of PLA around ~2.7 and ABS at ~2.2, but there sems to be a decent amount of variation between spools PETG and HDPE are both substantially lower than either, and Nylon is close to PLA. To put that into perspective, MDF is around 3.5, aluminum/steel/multi-lam hardwood in the mid 20’s, and carbon fiber over 100 (depending on composition). Viscosity / viscoelasticity is another parameter that is important for printing speed, temperature, and flow at smaller nozzle diameters, but that is another can of worms. Hopefully I can get around to running some tests in the near future if I don't find it covered elsewhere.

I always do a 2-wall temperature tower for each new spool. Very little filament yields a ton of useful data. 1. Appearance. I've used a temperature tower to tell me how to "push" a PLA filament from a glossy finish to satin/matte (overcooked, for outer walls only). 2. Layer bonding. Tested by pushing a thumbnail between the layers in the middle of each temperature step. When the data isn't clear, I'll also do a speed tower. 3. Yield strength. See where it breaks due to bending across the layers.

Oh its not because it will be "bigger" but if the nozzle is lets say not 1.75 but 1.85, the extruder does not know this and will extrude too much filament and you will get overextrusion/underextrusion, or uneven extrusion on your parts. Its not like when printing all the plastic laid down is 0.4 mm, the layer lines are half as wide and extrusion width is usually a bit bigger than the nozzle.

Just for the record, I am a CNC machinist in the US and I also study engineering, I know POM as Acetal or more commonly as Delrin. The term POM is not used very often in my country unless by engineers and usually the machinists call it Delrin. I know this, not every viewer in my country will know this. In the future, when mentioning POM, just use a couple of its names otherwise many people might now know what you are holding (and also to save them from a Google Search). Delrin is a great engineering material for machining, needs really sharp tools just like most plastics. I have seen it as a 3D printing filament, have yet to use it. You have a lot of filaments...Is your room humidity controlled? I keep mine in Ziploc Weathershield storage containers, they have a pretty decent seal on them and I throw a few reusable Eva-Dry...well dryer..things in the containers, works pretty well. I am planning on using them as custom filament racks in the future. I love your videos!

A 'hot composter' like the Green Johanna may be a suitable option. Such composers will also handle raw meat & other things that must never be put in a normal one. This is due to the high heat reached inside. However, they're nothing compared to the industrial processes like anaerobic digestion & the like. PLA's biggest selling point is that it's a bioplastic from entirely renewable resources, rather than it being easily compostable.
@Milks808

I'll formalise my results and post an instructables on the PLA digester; likely a couple of weeks from now. I'll post a link here when I do. A hot composter will almost certainly do the job, in fact an ordinary compost heap can see temperatures of around 60C under certain circumstances from biological activity alone. At 60C most pathogens are killed/denatured leaving only thermophilic bacteria which is why hot composters are safe for meat.
