Superior Print Quality & Consistency
Every metre of MakerBot True Colour PLA filament is rigorously quality tested to ensure consistent diameter tolerance and smooth, reliable flow through your extruder. Each colour undergoes long-duration testing with large 3D models requiring 18-24 hours of print time, guaranteeing no deviances in print quality even on extended jobs. The consistently round diameter ensures the highest print quality and predictable results every time.
Safe, Non-Toxic, and Environmentally Friendly
MakerBot PLA filament is a polylactic acid bioplastic derived from renewable corn sources. It doesn't emit toxic fumes when melted, making it safe for use in domestic environments, classrooms, offices, and around children. This filament is free from heavy metals, phthalates, and BPA, providing peace of mind for makers of all ages.
Perfect for MakerBot Replicator Z18 & Other Printers
This XXL spool is specifically designed for the MakerBot Replicator Z18, though it's compatible with any MakerBot PLA-compatible printer using 1.75mm filament. The large spool format requires an external spool holder or rail system for proper feeding. Ideal for makers who need extended print runs without changing spools.
Printing Tips for Best Results
- Store filament in a cool, dry place when not in use, as PLA absorbs moisture from humid air over time
- Ensure your build plate is level, clean, and oil-free for optimal first-layer adhesion
- Use rafts for prints with large bottom surfaces to prevent curling
- The filament adheres well to acrylic and blue painter's tape
- Use in a well-ventilated area for best results
