SainSmart Official via Amazon has 2.2-lbs SainSmart GT-3 1.75mm Matte PLA 3D Printer Filament (Mint or Teal) for $13.99. Shipping is free with Prime or on orders $35+.

Thanks to Community Members UniqueMeerkat and Jayh99 for finding this deal.

Available Colors:Product Description:
  • The SainSmart GT-3 PLA filament is designed to balance high printing speeds of up to 500mm/s with printing quality. Its excellent fluidity and viscosity factors reduce stringing and sagging, taking your printing to the next level. For optimal results, we recommend a printing speed of around 300 mm/s.
  • Easy-to-Remove Support: Detaching supports is a quick and easy process when using this filament. They can be taken off without damaging the model underneath, keeping all of its fine details intact.
  • Matte Finish & Durable: The model made from this material will have a matte finish, which will help hide the layer lines from view. It is also stronger than models printed with regular PLA.
  • No Clogging or Jamming: This PLA filament has a softening temperature of 140°C, making it resistant to the cooling effects from the nozzle. This solves the obstruction issue.
  • Compatibility: This filament, with its 1.75mm diameter, will work on a variety of 3D printers like Prusa, Creality, AnkerMake M5, QI DI, ANYCUBIC, Flashforge, Monoprice, SCRIB3D, MYNT3D, etc.
  • For using the glass printing platform, it is recommended to apply more glue when printing, or use masking paper, and increase the temperature of the hotbed to about 65°C. Bamboo studio setting for GT-3 PLA-HF Matte Filaments

And yet when you search slickdeals, 13-14$ is what shows up consistently for "matte PLA". Apparently you've found much better deals but have never backed them up
What is a deal in this space then?
I can see these colors being useful. Got Mint and Teal.

The point he's making is that it's mint. No one wants mint filament. Also, $12/kg spool for pla or petg is a dime a dozen these days.

Teal is the same price. Though it does look suspiciously like Mint.

It's both high speed and matte, which may appeal to some users. So not your average cheap PLA, in theory. Haven't used this brand before, but seen them around plenty.

It's one of the very best PLA's I have ever used FWIW in terms of looks. (Don't mean color, just how good the filament generally looks, I have used black and grey in this). It also prints exceptionally well at high speed too.

It's more of a powder baby blue. The mint is very clearly a pale green.

I bought the grey last time and it works well. However I don't print at high speeds, I just wanted the matte. Their math is SUS AF though. 3hours at 300mm/s vs 7hours at 50mm/s 🤣

I bought the Grey last time and I use a Bambu X1C and use the default "Generic PLA high speed" profile and this prints amazing!

Thanks, grabbed both of those colors. Not a bad price for high speed and matte. Plus I enjoy those colors for making minis.
