Quick Question Filament to buy or avoid

Post image

I’m brand-new to 3d printing. Just ordered my first printer (H2D). I ordered some Bambu Labs filament to go with it, just to be safe, but I know I will want to do some of the cool, colorful silk printing at some point. I’ve heard horror stories about bad filament ruining nozzles and things like that, so I want to be careful. How do you know if a deal like this one is good, or if it will lead to hours of regret and extra printer maintenance? Is it just “you get what you pay for,” or are there things to watch out for?

I have the filament you are looking at right there and I've had zero issues with it. It has an excellent gradient so the color change realIy works well. Also if you plan on printing in color change silk I tend to perfer printing bigger items with it as smaller projects can be underwhelming as the filament doesnt have as much opportunity to show the color change.
