I have always used the Bambu pla profile. The only issue I have had is I have an old spool of pink PLA+ that seems to have brittle spots, and my girls complain that the rainbow filament changes colors too slow.\" r/BambuLab 1ls9faf, score 61: \"if you think amazon basic pla is cheap, wait till you see jayo and kingroon 10 packs on aliexpress. They work fine. PLA is quite forgiving.\" Score 37: \"Any generic filament is fine. I don’t recommend buying bamboo at full price.\" No excerpt was supplied for r/FixMyPrint un6als, r/BambuLab 18odzs3, or r/3Dprinting 1x2n1kp.",
