# What is the best filament brand?

There is no best brand in these comments or in this catalog. One comment names SUNLU PLA Plus for durability, print quality, and price. Another uses black Overture PETG most of the time and keeps orange Prusament for special prints. A third says ELEGOO, Creality, and Flashforge have worked so far. Those are reports, not a ranking.

Best is a comment. A specification is a nozzle, a bed, and a sheet. [Filament quality](/answers/filament_quality) is how to tell a bad spool without a brand trophy. [SUNLU](/answers/brand_sunlu), [Prusament](/answers/brand_prusament), and [Polymaker](/answers/brand_polymaker) already have pages. [Budget filament](/answers/cheap) is the price question, and none of these rows stores a price per kilogram.
## Rows a comment actually named

[Overture PETG](/brand/overture/petg) stores 220–250 °C (428–482 °F) and a bed of 70–90 °C (158–194 °F) from the Open Filament Database. [Prusament PLA](/brand/prusament/pla) stores 205–225 °C (401–437 °F) and 40–60 °C (104–140 °F) from the same database. The comment says Prusament, not PLA.
