Okay, so I've been printing with this ATARAXIA flexible PLA for about 3 months now, and here's the tea ☕

First off - that 500-600% stretch claim? LEGIT. Made some phone cases that survived my toddler's 'destructive testing phase'. That's saying something.

The matte black finish on my first spool was *chef's kiss* perfect for stealthy-looking prints. But heads up - recent batches got shinier (added comparison pics). Not a dealbreaker but worth noting if you're after that matte aesthetic.

Printing is STUPID easy compared to TPU. My Ender 3 with Bowden setup handled it like a champ at 200°C. Only needed minimal retraction tuning (4mm @25mm/s did the trick).

The included vacuum bag is clutch - keeps my spare spool fresh in humid Florida weather. Though I wish they'd add those handy 'filament remaining' markers to the spool like some competitors do.

Downside? Customer service ghosted me when I asked about the finish change. Also had one spool arrive slightly damp (fixed with overnight drying).

Final verdict: At <$20/kg it's my go-to flexible filament despite the quirks. Just don't expect that original matte finish anymore.
