First Blog post for, just wanted to introduce us to our customers, friends and supporters. We have many new exciting plans in store for the end of the year 2023 and next year 2024. New Colors, filaments, loyaty program, are some of the plans, if you have any suggestions please leave it in the comments below.
We are a woman and minority owned company based in the USA. Our office/warehouse is in Bensenville, IL. Started P3D in 2016, we saw the filament market was pretty basic in the color selection and wanted to offer makers and creators a more nuanced pallete to select and express a more personal tone with their prints. Feedback from customers lead to the development of our grey and skin tones which have been very popular.
Paramount 3D is proud and thankful to be a part of this wonderful community of makers, creators and designers, till next post, Mahalo.
I've been having some problems printing the roll of black cherry PLA filament that I bought. I followed the recommendations on the label but this PLA will not do right. It just seems very melty, like I tried to print with fruit Roll-Ups. Any suggestions? Is this PLA tricky or what?
I love your colors, you guys offer some colors that are very unique. I print in your PETG specifically and I have some products I sell that I depend on your colors. Thank you for that! Keep up the good work there.
I do have to agree about the website design. It is quite rough and could use a full makeover. I prefer to buy from shops directly instead of Amazon, but the experience here is hard to work through. For example, I just placed an order and muscle memory looks to the top right of the site for the cart, but its an odd shopping bag design, and its on the top left! Took me too long to find…
I have been using your filaments nearly exclusively for a few years now. I find them to have some of the best flow characteristics and color uniformity at least while using PLA. I did have a situation where I had two rolls of black ABS and while the clear spool printed great, the black spool you use more now printed TERRIBLY. I cannot say if it was a formula change or just bad luck, but I nearly had to toss the roll out because I couldn't spend weeks dialing it in all over again. That said, I completely agree with the comment below me. Your website feels very clunky, and it does hinder the user experience. I'm always recommending your brand…
I do 💜 your colors. I bought your Full Spectrum Sample Pack when I got a 3D printer in 2018. I printed swatches from every color, and Benchies from many of them. I followed up with a few spools of my favorites. I printed a bathroom accessory in Iron Red PLA yesterday.
I had a discussion with Polymaker on Discord after ERRF while back and they were bragging that they had more colors than anyone. I pointed to your 48 (or so) colors, and they stopped bragging.
I have some thoughts on your website. This may not be appropriate for a blog comment, but your contact form is broken, so I decided to post it here. Please view the following…
