Best PLA - Colorfabb, Formfutura, 3DOM, Polymaker or ...?

Hey 3D Printlife, your filaments may be superior but most people go for affordability so it will be better to besides having a premium filament also have a 'housebrand' filament. There is definitely still room to differentiate regarding visual and mechanical properties.

I am testing all the filaments from 3dfilamenten.nl and so far so good, it prints very nicely with good flow and visual quality - only it's more brittle and clogs up the nozzle a bit when staying heated for too long - but that's normal. This is great quality filament!

I agree. My company isn't really a B2C type of business. We're more B2B. Our customers are Universities who are looking for quality instead of the cheapest option out there. I think our price is very good for what we offer, but for someone looking for a $15 filament, you're not going to find it with us.

There is a guy selling a stock of 500 1kg rolls of 3mm PLA and ABS from 3dfilamenten.nl in the Netherlands, at less than $7 a roll.
I bought 24 rolls.

Here is my comparison to Colorfabb and 3DOM filaments:
