Yay a new box of CRAYONS!
I see these filament sample packs as akin to boxes of crayons. This is a GREAT box! I bought this pack on Cyber Monday, at the same time I bought my MP Mini v2 as shown in pix, along with a small cat (cuz she said so).The colors are individually wrapped with desiccant packs, though the packaging is not ziplock. This is OK, because they are pretty much single use for small parts anyway . I keep my open filament in a tight closing plastic bin with a lid and throw all of the desiccant I get in there. Each roll (of the ones I've opened) weigh in around 28-34g or so and lay down pretty well at temps of 200-215 on a well leveled buildtak-like surface, when using a raft. Diameter seems nice and consistent (limited length to test against) and I have not noticed any significant popping, spitting, sputtering, or the like, though did notice some steam when I switched to the shiny darker gray silvery one - My fault though, I didn't floss the nozzle as long as I should have.I tried some small parts in the Clear, and WOW is that clear! I am buying a whole roll of that stuff pronto, as it seems very acceptable for windows in custom models as well as crude lightpipes to put LED sourced light to pretty much where you want it to go (nearby, but around curves or corners).My only real critique is that the colors aren't labeled, so it is a bit of a guessing game to match when your crayon is on its last legs and you want a whole box of that specific color crayon. Don't make your customers work to find your products; make em blatantly easy to identify and locate. Even a simple printed list of the colors on a slip of paper (if consistent colors in each box) or individual fortune cookie style slips with the color names in an envelope (if random) - narrow it down a bit, anyway. Lose a star because I'm gonna have to spend time matching colors to product pages. Even better would be QR codes with links back to the Amazon product page for a roll of the individual color.Anyway, will certainly buy more as the need arises.Also, hey Pxmalion how about any of the following? Purdy Pleeeeeease?Clear with flecks/bits/beads of gold, silver, or really, any other color - for printing swirly stained glass and marble type effects/surfaces.Black with same as above, cuz that'd be cool.Clear Red with Clear, silver, gold.Remember, 3D printing is an art toy first and foremost.

Oooow, Pretty Colors
This is actually some very respectable PLA, and the color selection is awesome. If you are looking to print small things, this sample pack is nice. Too bad that you can not easily get full size spools if you like a particular color.***UPDATE 11-23-2017***Looks like they now sell full size reels of this! I've included a picture of a tiny little owl made from the Rosy Brown filament. It was done with 0.04mm layer heights and looks fantastic.

Good filament for 3d pen and 3d printer
I got a 3d pen for Christmas and I've been having fun with this filament. It flows smoothly and has a nice shiny finish. There are lots of colors in this package. I found out I don't have much talent for drawing, but I have been able to trace a few designs successfully. An e-book is available to download that has quite a few designs to get started.I also found that this filament works well on a regular 3d printer. There isn't enough of any color to print any large projects, but small things come out smooth and shiny. My PLA profile uses 205 degrees at at 0.2 layer height. The only issue is that there is no spool available. I found some designs on Thingiverse for small spools, but I found an eSun filament spool that screws together. All i have to do is remove the two screws, load the Pxmalion filament on one half then bolt it back together. I've ran through several of the coils without it tangling. The short length is an advantagehere. If it were much longer, it would probably get tangled.The 3d printers here are a heavily modified original Monoprice Mini and a built from scratch i3 clone (inspired by "Dolly" on Toms3d YouTube channel).

Good deal for a rainbow of PLA
Really a nice deal. I needed some pink PLA for a small project for my daughter, and buying this pack I got a whole rainbow of useful hues. Most of my "utility" printing I've done in black or red from a 1kilo spool, but this gives me easy access to a bunch of colors without buying a kilo. The filament appears to be very good quality. After a recent printer adjustment (for an unrelated reason), with this PLA, I've turned out the nicest prints I've made to date on my hot-rodded Printrbot 1401.

Great quality, fabulous value.
Great product--so many colors for the kids to choose from! They seem to be great quality--they're melting perfectly in the pen, yet dry extremely fast. If you're worried (as I was) that this stuff can get embedded in carpet, don't worry. It seems to dry before it gets to that point and we have yet to see any carpet disasters. Yahoo!

Great sample pack - will definitely be buying more!
Slight issue with Amazon shipping, which the seller corrected immediately, but the product seems to print fantastically! As with any filament change, be sure you adjust your settings to match the new stock. I've had to do very little adjustment from my previous brand, but adjusting retraction and heating on some of the neon colors seems to be necessary - they seem to melt at a slightly lower temperature than the others. Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase! Thanks, Pxmalion, for having real customer service!

Great Color Selection & Performance
Filament works great in handheld "3D" pen. I noticed that I had to turn the pen temperature up a little higher than I did with the filament that came with the pen. Once the temperature is correct it feeds properly and works perfectly. The set includes a great color selection and should last a real long time. Filament was used with a Monoprice brand 3D pen.

Great! with a few manageable cons.
It’s a good fillimant. I use it in my printer instead of a pen, and not one color has clogged on me, and they all stick well to the bed (I use painters tape but it stuck to my magnetic bed as well)There’s a few cons so I’m going to take off a star, it comes TANGLED. However the spools are small enough to untangle without wanting to throw it threw a window.Also I noticed with some colors they changed while being printed (red turned to a dark orange) so if you’re really keen on printing in a specific color, keep that in mind.Other then that it’s been great to me!

I highly recommend this selection pack. The best we have tried to date.
This filament is excellent. It behaves consistently across the colour range where some other mixed packs do not. It runs smoothly and evenly in both of our 3d pens (different brands).Good colour stability and really good selection of coloursThe best selection pack we have purchased to date.

Nice Colour Selection, more filament than normal
For the price this was a bargin.Filament samples normally come in 5M wraps however you recieve a lot more with this pack. Nice mix of colours and really well presented

Length and selection of colours are good
Brill item just what's needed to give a good 3d drawing plenty of colours and length

Great assortment at decent lengths
The short and sweet version:Decent lengths to print out projects you might need to be specific colours, lots of variety and each and every filament is seperated and has a moisture absorbing pack to keep them in the best state.Long version:I buy spools with the intention to prototype items which means colour is usually of no importance, however, I recently decided to decorate my office wall and decided it would be easier to just print coloured tiles but I was not about to buy every filament I needed in 1kg spools--the cost alone wouldnt be worth pursuing this project. I've tried other assorted filament packages and some were seriously poor quality, others lacked the quality of PLA and some sent out lengths that were so small I couldnt even get a single eye the size of my thumb printed.The organization of these filament alone impressed me, I am super excited to get through all the colours but already out of skin tones I need but only because I got a good use out of them. I would highly recommend these to anyone pursuing multicoloured prints. I attached a photo of my project to show some of the colours used to add to my tiles.

Good quaity material
We have three 3D pens bought on Ali Express. This filament is going smoothly and the kids are super happy. The colors are very beautiful and quite diverse. We have used some 10% of the 240 meters total with many color changes. No issues whatsoever.As always with this material we are careful not to bend it too tight, as to ensure the diameter stays unchanged. I bent it once very tight and seemed flattened so I took no chances and removed and tossed the damaged part (1 inch). No problem ever with this.
