MakerBot 375-0018A True Red PLA Precision Filament for Method 3D Printer
The MakerBot 375-0018A PLA Precision Filament in True Red is designed for professional prototyping and concept modeling on the MakerBot Method 3D printer. This 1.75mm PLA filament produces rigid, glossy parts with exceptional dimensional accuracy, making it perfect for early-stage design work, form studies, and office-friendly 3D printing. Made from biodegradable corn-based plastic, this environmentally conscious material prints at low temperatures to minimize warping while delivering high-quality results every time.

Biodegradable: Corn-based PLA thermoplastic is environmentally friendly and sustainable
-
Vacuum-Sealed Packaging: Shipped in metalized polyester bag to preserve material quality until opening
Superior Print Quality & Accuracy
MakerBot PLA Precision Material delivers high reliability and dimensional accuracy with a finished part tolerance of ±0.2mm (0.007 inches). The material features a 3,600 MPa tensile modulus and 62 MPa tensile strength, ensuring your prototypes are both rigid and durable. With a heat deflection temperature of 120-125°F (49-52°C), PLA parts maintain their shape under moderate thermal conditions. The glossy finish gives printed objects a professional appearance ideal for client presentations and design reviews.
Smart Spool & Storage
The integrated Smart Spool communicates directly with MakerBot Print via RFID technology, automatically detecting material type, color, and remaining filament. A built-in desiccant absorbs moisture during the loading process, while the vacuum-sealed packaging ensures quality is preserved until you're ready to print. For best results, store the filament in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture absorption.
