Pros and cons
Pros
- A 4 kg quantity suits buyers who regularly print with black PLA.
- The refill format avoids buying a new spool and is intended to reduce plastic spool waste.

What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Confirm that your reusable spool fits the cardboard-core refill. The listing calls the colour “4kg Noir,” which appears inconsistent with the black colour in the title, and lists both “4 Pack” and 4 kg without clearly stating the amount per refill. The advertised diameter accuracy and print-performance claims are manufacturer claims, not independent measurements.
Who is it for?
A good fit for
- Frequent 3D printer users seeking a larger supply of black PLA.
- Buyers who already use a compatible reusable spool system.
- Users who want spool-free filament and are willing to check mounting compatibility.
Less suited to
- Buyers who need filament supplied on a conventional spool with no setup.
- Users whose printer or reusable spool system requires a different filament diameter.

Customer feedback describes good print quality, colour and overall quality, and says the filament fits well. Buyers also report mixed experiences with adhesion and tangling. The 4.6 out of 5 rating from 1,652 ratings is positive overall, but the aggregate score does not show why individual customers rated it as they did. The reported mixed experiences matter for users relying on consistent adhesion or feed behaviour, despite the listing's claims about layer adhesion and reduced tangling.
