# Is Polymaker filament good?

These PLA rows list 190–230 °C (374–446 °F).

The threads print Polymaker on a Bambu and a Prusa and then argue about speed, a profile, and extrusion. PolyLite PLA lists 190–230 °C (374–446 °F) and a 25–60 °C (77–140 °F) bed. PolyTerra is a name in the comments and is not its own catalog row.

Judge the spool you loaded. PolyLite PLA has a printed temperature range. PolyTerra, in these threads, is a profile name and a surface argument. [Prusament](/answers/brand_prusament), [matte PLA](/answers/matte), [profiles](/answers/profiles), [P1S filament](/answers/p1s_filament), and [marble and metal fills](/answers/metal_fill) are the neighbors.

## The rows

[PolyLite PLA](/brand/polymaker/polylite-pla) lists 190–230 °C (374–446 °F), a bed of 25–60 °C (77–140 °F), and 40–60 mm/s on the [Polymaker page](https://shop.polymaker.com/products/polylite-pla), with the fan on. The same page says the spool edges are hardened so they roll in an AMS. That is a spool edge, not a nozzle. [PLA Pro](/brand/polymaker/polymaker-pla-pro) lists 210–230 °C (410–446 °F) and a bed of 30–60 °C (86–140 °F) from the Open Filament Database, and the row links a data sheet. [Polymaker PLA](/brand/polymaker/pla) lists 190–230 °C (374–446 °F) and a bed of 50–70 °C (122–158 °F) from the Open Filament Database. [Polymaker](/brand/polymaker) is the brand index. [PLA](/material/pla) is the material hub.

## Finish, profile, and extrusion

[r/BambuLab 11nz8q3](https://www.reddit.com/r/BambuLab/comments/11nz8q3/) is PolyLite PLA Pro on an X1C. The lower part is glossy and the rest is matte. The score-9 comment says keep the outer wall one speed, slow for gloss and faster for matte, and writes 50–100ms. A score-4 comment says the steeper lower section prints slower. The [X1 Carbon](/printer/bambu-lab-x1-carbon) page is the printer.

[r/BambuLab 1kdorkc](https://www.reddit.com/r/BambuLab/comments/1kdorkc/) is a first PolyTerra spool on an A1 after Bambu PLA. The score-7 comment says use the PolyTerra profile in Bambu Studio. One score-5 comment says PolyTerra is the same family as Bambu Matte. Another score-5 comment says it is softer and is not 100% PLA. The [A1](/printer/bambu-lab-a1) page is the printer. [Profiles](/answers/profiles) is the settings page.

[r/prusa3d 10dalhw](https://www.reddit.com/r/prusa3d/comments/10dalhw/) puts PolyTerra matte next to grey Prusament PLA. The score-10 comment sees inconsistent extrusion on both and has cleared that with a cold pull and a nozzle change. A score-7 comment blames thickness tolerance. The catalog does not store a PolyTerra tolerance to confirm that.

[r/prusa3d 1107u40](https://www.reddit.com/r/prusa3d/comments/1107u40/) asks what fails if enclosure parts specified in PETG are printed in Polymaker PLA Pro. The score-27 comment printed the parts in black PLA, kept them three years, and was not above 100f. A score-15 comment says the "PLA breaks easier" line is too simple and links a video. 100f is the comment.

[r/BambuLab 1cu7jlc](https://www.reddit.com/r/BambuLab/comments/1cu7jlc/) is the marble pair, same slicer settings, 0.3 mm layers, 0.6 mm nozzle, on a P1S. The poster prefers Polymaker. The score-37 comment would rather print that shape in white matte PLA. [Marble and metal](/answers/metal_fill) keeps that comparison.

## What the community says

r/BambuLab 1cu7jlc prints Bambu marble and Polymaker marble at 0.3 mm layers with a 0.6 mm nozzle on a P1S. The poster prefers Polymaker's fewer dark fragments and matte surface. The score-37 comment prefers white matte PLA. r/prusa3d 1107u40 asks about Polymaker PLA Pro for an enclosure the instructions specify in PETG. The score-27 comment used black PLA for three years under 100f. r/BambuLab 1kdorkc is a first PolyTerra spool on an A1. Comments say use the included profile, and they disagree on whether PolyTerra is Bambu Matte. r/prusa3d 10dalhw is a rough PolyTerra surface beside Prusament. The score-10 comment blames extrusion. r/BambuLab 11nz8q3 is gloss on the lower half of PolyLite PLA Pro. Comments blame outer-wall speed.
