I use Hatchbox and it works well, but I don’t have experience with any other filaments, yet.

Nice print! I’ve been using some clear PLA from Makergeeks with decent results.
Food Safe FDA PLA 1.75mm / 1KG Spool by Maker Filament 11

I’ve been running it with the WOW code, so whatever the default M3D temp is for that, 215 I believe.
Looks like these printers all have a slight step during the transition from Y+ to Y- or vice versa. I’ve been able to get pretty good circular parts and overall prints are impressive for the machine, but that step remains. Took me a while to dial my machine in.

This is a really helpful thread. I’ve been looking at getting either the M3D Micro or or the UP! Mini. My concern with the M3D is I couldn’t find anything about using non-proprietary filament. Pardon the noob question, but how are you adjusting temps to use other brands of filament?

I use M3D with other filaments from my country Argentina and until now I get good results after adjusting the temperature and speed of impression. This is very easy to adjust after you load a filament and you enter the typical code of M3D for example “PLA” and when you describe the filament loaded top right you will see a configuration wheel. When you set the layer height and fill density you also have this setting wheel to adjust the print speed. Google Translator pardon.
