Premium Quality for Professional Results
MakerBot True Colour PLA filament is comprehensively quality tested at both 100-micron and 200-micron layer resolutions to ensure optimal performance with MakerBot software and hardware. Each spool undergoes long-duration testing using large 3D models requiring 18-24 hours of print time to verify there are no deviations in print quality. The consistently round diameter ensures smooth, even layers and minimizes filament problems and printer downtime.
Easy to Use and Reliable
If you're new to 3D printing, MakerBot PLA filament is an excellent material to start with because it's simple to use and performs well on most prints. PLA material doesn't emit toxic fumes when melted, making it safe for domestic environments and around children. The Cool Gray colour provides a sleek, professional finish perfect for concept models, functional prototypes, classroom projects, and engineering applications.
Optimal Printing Performance
This filament prints best at temperatures between 210°C and 220°C and adheres well to acrylic and blue painter's tape or MakerBot Build Plate Tape. The material is engineered to cool rapidly after extrusion, helping prints retain their shape with minimal warping. For best results, store the filament in a cool, dry place as PLA can absorb moisture from the air.
