    I've been using Hatchbox filament for almost a year, and luv it. I recently ordered a second R1+ and going to do a bunch of mods to it, and want to print them all in neon yellow (or flourescent). My only problem is Hatchbox doesn't make either of those colors that I have found. So...if anyone knows about a Hatchbox filament that color, let me know. Otherwise is there another brand filament that is comparable to Hatchbox that is out there? I am looking for PLA, 1.75.

    Honestly I feel like most PLA all works the same.

    Just look on amazon for some neon stuff and try a spool out.

    I think Robo Sells some bright yellow stuff themselves too.

    I've tried a couple of the cheaper brands and the Robo, and it was wound all tangled on the spool

    Yea thats the problem I end up having ( with hatchbox as well ).

    Colorfab's stuff is wound VERY well on the spool, but its expensive. Not sure if they have yellow but I saw neon green on printed solids webpage.

    Check for Inland brand on amazon (or MicroCenter if you have one locally)
    under $20 a spool and just as good as HatchBox
