US available close to prusament?

I love love prusament. It’s quality is obvious and lovely. But lately, it’s been out of stock a lot. Also, their color selection is sometimes not plentiful. My question is this, does anyone know of a US accessible product close in quality to prusament AND have an amazing spooling of the filament? I’m absolutely in love with how well the prusament is wound up.

RE: US available close to prusament?

I know that the silver-gray sold by the US FilamentPM outlet is the same as the Prusa stuff that comes with the printer kits.  It says "Made in the Czech Republic" but does not use the Prusa brand.

I suspect that some of their others may be of Prusa origin as well.  YMMV of course.

It is an independent company where Prusa sourced their filament before they started making their own, so none of it is "prusa origin". But it is the same stuff that (used to? some kits are reporting different spools now, possibly due to world events) comes with kits that is not true "prusament".

I would echo the filamentPM recommendation.

I would also add a US Company called Paramount.  Great filament with a lot of filament options.  

The above links are Amazon.  They also have a US warehouse: Filament PM.
