This stuff works great. Also it's the only filament I know of that isn't made in China, so that's a bonus.

IIIdmax are made in US (they used to share inventory with gst3D)
gst3D might also be, they used to say that. I could now only find they have 4 factories in the world but not where
Some people hate their products but so far I've been fine with them (some minor incidenrs)

There are a lot of filament brand made in the USA:

I have personally used and have only experienced quality from:
Atomic Filament: https://atomicfilament.com
Printed Solid (owned by Prusa): https://www.printedsolid.com
Filacube: https://atomicfilament.com

But there are a lot more:
Push Plastic: https://www.pushplastic.com/
3D Fuel: https://www.3dfuel.com
MatterHackers: https://www.matterhackers.com
3DXTech: https://www.3dxtech.com
COEX: https://coex3d.com/

I find it is similar to Overture/Hatchbox in quality, fairly consistent diameter and no clogs.

I bought a 10 or 12 rolls from gst3d last year and haven't had any issues with it. Used two rolls of it so far.

There were some decent deals on Overture TPU last week on Amazon. I'm just now trying to figure out how to print without it stringing... It shouldn't be wet, I just opened the sealed bag of black last night and it strung worse than the white or red that have been open for a couple weeks to a few months.

I didn't have any major problems with this filament, but it wasn't my favorite.
Was a bit stringier than other brands I've used, no matter temps/settings. Odd size rolls too, don't fit on some custom filament holders.
I like overture better.

The box in the Amazon page says made in the Netherlands.

But the product page says:
Country of Origin ‎USA

Some of the three spool packs on this link are also $36. It's a nice option if you don't want all black. Note that it's a lesser amount though.

The website logo has Made in USA in it and also various places.
If you have some insider info, might be you can share and we can have a class suit on them.

Your link is for 0.5 Kg spools totaling to 1.5kg. The Amazon Basics link is for 3kg total. It's a way better deal.

Who cares where it is made or comes from. You sound pretty racist with your post. All of your electronics are from China. Do you have issues with that? If you do then give them all away to those of us that don't care what country a product comes from.

How does it make him racists, lol. The person is trying to avoid crap from china and actually supports us businesses.

I got some of the overture tpu also. Last roll was 3D solutech flexible and I had that dialed in with no blobs and very minimal stringing. With the overture tpu I think I'm making progress at 215 nozzle temp, auto fan enabled, slightly faster retraction speed and bumping up my linear advance k value.

Might just order another roll of 3D solutech tpu.
