How we pick lookalikes
We start from Polymaker's own Amazon UK listing for this colour and compare every in-stock reel of the same polymer and finish from other brands. Each one gets a colour difference score (ΔE, CIEDE2000), and the list is grouped by how close it is, cheapest per kilogram first within each group.
The original costs £24.77 per kilogram on Amazon UK right now; savings are worked out against that live price.
Colours come from listing data and product photos, and screens differ. If the colour has to match an existing part exactly, compare the photos or print a small sample first.
Common questions
Is there a cheaper alternative to Polymaker PLA HT Black?
We haven't found a close match in stock right now. Set a price alert on the original and we'll email you when it drops.
How is the colour match measured?
We compare each listing's colour with the original using CIEDE2000 (ΔE), the industry measure of how different two colours look. Under 2 reads as the same colour to most people, under 5 is very close, and over 10 is a different colour. Colours come from listing data and photos, so check the photos for an exact match.
Will a lookalike print like Polymaker?
We only match the same polymer and finish (matte with matte, silk with silk), but print settings vary between brands. Start from the temperatures on the reel and print a small test first.

Measured against our own history
A deal only counts when the price is below what that reel has actually sold for over the last 90 days, not a seller's “was” price.
