-
Professional Results: Trusted by leading companies and institutions worldwide for state-of-the-art material manufacturing standards
-
Large XL Spool: 2.27kg (5 lb) capacity provides extended print time and better value for frequent users and large projects

Optimized for MakerBot Printers
This 1.75mm filament is specifically engineered for use with the MakerBot Replicator Z18, Replicator 2, Replicator 5th Generation, and Replicator+ 3D printers. The consistently round diameter ensures smooth, even flow through the extruder nozzle and uniform layer deposition. MakerBot PLA adheres excellently to acrylic and blue painter's tape build surfaces.
Easy to Print
If you're new to 3D printing, MakerBot PLA Filament is the perfect material to start with because it's easy to use and performs well on most prints. It prints best at nozzle temperatures between 210-230°C, with a glass transition temperature of 60-65°C and melting temperature of 150-160°C. Details such as sharp corners and edges print cleanly, and finished objects have a glossy appearance.
Storage & Best Practices
Store MakerBot PLA Filament in a cool, dry place as it can absorb moisture from air. Long-term exposure to humidity can compromise filament quality and performance. Always ensure your build plate is level, clean, and oil-free before printing. For prints with large bottom layers that may curl, enable the raft option in your slicing software.
