Tecbears sent me several PLA filament types for testing, so I decided to compare them side-by-side. In this video I test Classic PLA, PLA+, Matte PLA, Silk PLA+, and High-Speed PLA in multiple colors to see how they differ in print quality, weight, and layer adhesion. Are the differences significant, or is it mostly marketing? Let's find out.
