The ones I’ve come to really like for their consistent quality results are:
- Prusament (PETG)
- Fiberlogy (ASA)
- eSun (ABS)
- Addnorth (Various)

I’ve honestly only had one bad roll ever.
I’ve bought a ton of cheap 3djhor filament with no issues.
I’ve tried at least 20 brands.
I can say my ender was way more finicky than my Bambu is. The Bambu rarely has issues even with filament my ender struggled with.
Also the only filament I have had to be choosey with is silks.
And brand is just one factor. I’ve had good rolls of one color from a brand and not so great of a different color. Same brand.
Basically poor overhangs. But otherwise they all print well. Just some do worse on overhangs.
Maybe fixed by slowing the print speed down but not usually a big deal on whatever I was printing.
What kind of printer do you have ?

For PLA, any brand that has the blue you seek. PLA is not that complicated.

Anything by Spectrum, but especially their Caribbean blue PLA.

Prusament. Stopped getting anything else, unless I need something super specific that they don’t have
synapse1278@lemmy.world 5 days ago
Prusament has been consistently top quality for many years by now, however they are a bit too expensive in my opinion.
SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 5 days ago
They are a bit more pricey, but not by that much, compared to other name brands, tbh. At least if you buy in Europe
Munkisquisher@lemmy.nz 5 days ago
Don’t have a lot of choices here in NZ, esun is a decent quality cheap option we can get in store. Otherwise it’s Bambu which can be variable, some print great and some are a nightmare. Or a limited selection of prusament at a big markup over buying it directly

Before my last printer died 5 years ago, I was getting good results with Hatchbox filament. Not sure about their current state, but they were the most reliable I had found at that time. Looks like they currently have one I would call navy blue.
My new printer is supposed to arrive today, so I’ll be going through the filament evaluation grind again soon.

- Prusament: always top quality, at a price (PLA, PETG and ASA)
- dasfilament.de: I bought a few spools and it has been good so far (PLA and PETG)

Late to the game,but imho best navy blue is black forest Filaments Navy Blue - but of course these are hard to get outside of Europe.

I love Hatchbox. They have excellent filaments and rich colors. Can’t say enough love of them. particularly like their matte ones. They were really easy to dial in to perfect.
cymplecy@fosstodon.org 5 days ago @terabyterex I use Elegoo PLA+ or ASA+ (I have Elegoo printers)
Bitswap@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 days ago
I pretty much only use prusament. Literally today I bought some overture for the first time. Read a bunch of posts and decided to give it a try.
ascendings@fedia.io 5 days ago
I tend to stick Elegoo PLA/PLA+ and that usually works well for me - their dark blue looks fantastic IMO. Overture's PLA seems to print well too, so did the roll of eSun I got.
Just avoid Creality Ender PLA at all costs. That stuff was awful!
cmnybo@discuss.tchncs.de 5 days ago
The Elegoo Rapid PETG works great too. There aren’t as many color choices as their PLA though.
CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.works 5 days ago
I use Polyterra Army Blue for all my Navy Blue needs. Technically it’s a matte filament but I honestly can’t tell.
Inland, the microcenter house brand, is surprisingly good for the price point and comes in basically every color imaginable.
Polymaker is also very good with lots of colors. They used to be very expensive but the price is competitive today.

Ditto, these are my go to brands as well
