This is a decidedly positive Push Plastic filament review. Push Plastic is an Arkansas-based company that makes high-quality filaments for a relatively cheap price. The company sells 100% USA-made products and has been around for a long time. This is a brand you can trust.<\/p>\n

Push Plastic makes\u00a0fantastic PLA and ABS, but it is sometimes overshadowed by Chinese importers like Hatchbox. But the quality of Push Plastic filament is more consistent from one spool to the next. This makes their slightly higher prices worth it.<\/p>\n

Push Plastic Filament Review: Introduction<\/h2>\n

Push Plastic is a relatively old player in the filament industry. With over 20 years of experience in plastics manufacturing, the owners of the company know what they are doing. <\/span><\/p>\n

Push Plastic offers high quality plastic filament for a price similar to other leading value brands, like Hatchbox. And the company is clearly positioning itself to compete with the cheaper filament brands because they have sensed customer demand for quality and consistency. <\/span><\/p>\n

While in the past there have been some issues with Push Plastic clogging and jamming, Push Plastic quality control has radically improved. The quality of their PLA and ABS has improved to the point where they are basically indistinguishable from other leading brands.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In fact, we feel confident in saying that Push Plastic is one of the more underrated filament brands in the industry.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Push Plastic: All Around Excellence<\/h3>\n

Push Plastic is 100% virgin material, meaning that they don’t use any recycled plastic in their filament.\u00a0 It has no impurities.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the other more compelling aspects of Push Plastic is that they are a completely homegrown 100% USA company. This allows them to offer unique deals on shipping and sales on a daily basis. <\/span><\/p>\n

They have a fantastic website and you can check there for these deals any time. Also, Push Plastic is known for offering fun competitions and holiday sales. <\/span><\/p>\n

But by far the most interesting product they sell are massive 10 kg, 25 kg, and even 50 kg filament spools. That means you don\u2019t have to swap out a new spool every time you print a kilogram of filament. <\/span><\/p>\n

Nice huh? This company is clearly growing aggressively and will likely continue to improve in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n

Who Owns Push Plastic?<\/span><\/h2>\n

The owners of Push Plastic have decades of experience in the Plastics industry. Specifically, the owners ran a plastic injection molding plant for 20 years. <\/span><\/p>\n

Due to this extensive background in plastics, the owners decided to give extrusion and 3D filament productions try. So far, their extruders have been successful and their filament has gained them a significant following.<\/span><\/p>\n

Push Plastic Filament Review: Where Does Push Plastic 3D Filament Come From?<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"SpringfieldPush Plastic is produced in Springfield Arkansas. You can find Push Plastic filament on Amazon and on the PushPlastic.com website. <\/span><\/p>\n

A note about Ebay: While there is a limited selection of Push Plastic filaments available on eBay, the price tends to be much higher on eBay than on the website or amazon.com. <\/span><\/p>\n

Also, the deals and sales that Push Plastic frequently offers are not usually available on Amazon or Ebay. One other thing to keep in mind is that if you happen to live near Springfield, Arkansas, you can visit their headquarters and pick up filament at a discounted price in house. <\/span><\/p>\n

Push Plastic Filament Review: Price, Quality, and Color Range<\/span><\/h2>\n

**These numbers are for general reference and comparative purposes only. For specific material data see the data sheets here<\/a>**<\/p>\n

The thing about Push Plastic that you need to know is that they are not trying to sell you anything cheap. You can trust that, unlike other filament companies out there. They are trying to produce a reliable, consistent quality plastic filament for a reasonable price that doesn’t break the bank. <\/span><\/p>\n

This means that their product is priced in the middle between high end filaments and cheaper brands. So for instance, Push Plastic tends to be cheaper than other high-end filament companies like ColorFabb. But at the same time, the quality and consistency of their products combined with a good range of colors will give you a similar experience as these higher end filament companies. <\/span><\/p>\n

Moreover, because Push Plastic is not simply importing cheap filament from China, the company has much more control over the quality and consistency of their product over time than companies like Hatchbox and Inland.<\/span><\/p>\n

Push Plastic Filament Review: Price<\/span><\/h2>\n

Push Plastic used to sell products around $30 and $40. But recent price drops bring that down under $25 per spool<\/span><\/p>\n

The best place to find their products for the lowest price is on Amazon and their website. You can often find sales on these filaments around holidays and major events. <\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes Push Plastic will offer discounts on orders over $60 and free spools as prizes for contests. They are very active on social media and have a great online presence, so look out for these offers on Twitter and Facebook.<\/span><\/p>\n

Push Plastic Filament Review: Color Range<\/span>\"Push<\/h2>\n

The range of colors that Push Plastic offers is great, at around 30 colors for PLA and \u00a0ABS. They offer multiple shades of yellows, blues, greens, reds and whites. <\/span><\/p>\n

The company also offers an interesting selection of 9 PETG colors, but has a limited range of shades and colors for other specialty filaments such as wood, carbon fiber and HIPS. <\/span><\/p>\n

The one thing that really helps their PLA line up stand out from other brands is the range of specialty colors, such as metallic, fluorescent, and earth tone colors. The colors are consistent from one spool to the next and have a deep quality to them that translates well into prints.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can also purchase these awesome printed color tags. With these, you can examine the colors and materials before you buy an entire spool so that you know what you are getting.<\/p>\n

Push Plastic Filament Review: Print Strength and Texture<\/span><\/h2>\n

Here’s the main reason that this Push Plastic filament review is so positive: Push Plastic prints beautifully. They are very easy to work with. <\/span><\/p>\n

The PLA doesn\u2019t even require a heated bed. If you see negative reviews online about texture, that issue has been fixed. <\/span><\/p>\n

In the past, Push Plastic filaments sometimes had a strange texture out of the box. It was very rough and almost felt like sandpaper. <\/span><\/p>\n

But this isn’t much of a problem anymore, and if you do happen to get a spool like this, Push Plastic is more than happy to replace it for you. Make sure you take advantage of their awesome customer service because that rough finish can ruin your prints. <\/span><\/p>\n

Again, most of the time, the texture is great and Push Plastic tends to have a very smooth finish on the prints. The brittleness and strength of prints is very much in line with what you would expect from other brands. No problems there. <\/span><\/p>\n

Same with color saturation. The printed parts are exactly the color that you expect them to be from the pictures online.<\/span><\/p>\n

Push Plastic Filament Review: Quality and Materials<\/span><\/h2>\n

The great thing about Push Plastic is that they have focussed on a core business of PLA and ABS plastic filaments. They do an amazing job producing these two types of plastic at consistently high quality. <\/span><\/p>\n

At the same time, Push Plastic does fill out their product line up with a few other specialty filaments such as the following:<\/span><\/p>\n
