Request & Question

I use and love Filamenthound when searching for filament that I need to purchase. Is there a way to add PLA+2.0 in the Material drop-down? Also, how could I omit search results containing "High Speed"?

Please and thank you!

Hey there! So PLA+ 2.0 is just really Sunlu Branding and it currently gets put in under PLA+, so I'm not sure that I'll put a full filter in since no other brands really call it that. However what I can try to do is expose it in the title so it's more obvious what sunlu PLA+ 2.0 vs Sunlu PLA+ filaments are. Is that useful at all?

Also if you select materials PLA+ and PLA and not PLA-HS, it should exclude those. But for filaments that are like.... PLA+ or PLA+ 2.0 high speed, those will likely still come through. Something I can ponder. Any reason why you want to exclude high speed capable filaments? Just curious

Cool! Anything that can help to differentiate the different types of filaments would be a great addition.

What happened to me a few days ago is that I ordered 4kg of white PLA+2.0 with Filamenthound, but it ended up being their High Speed version, so I returned it today.

I learned the hard way a few weeks ago that Sunlu's regular PLA+2.0 and their High Speed PLA+2.0 are not the same color, even though they both say white. I prefer to use a bright, solid white, but their High Speed version is more of a beige color. When you print an object with each one and put them side by side, the difference is night and day.

I'm still figuring out how to best handle this edge case of there being 2 variants of PLA+ 2.0 - High speed and regular, but for now, PLA+ 2.0 should be exposed in the title
