The MakerBot True Black PLA Filament XXL Spool is a professional-grade 1.75mm 3D printing filament designed specifically for MakerBot Replicator Z18 printers. This 4.5kg (10 lb) XXL spool provides extended print runs for large-scale projects, prototyping, and production work. Made from corn-based bioplastic (PLA), this filament is environmentally friendly, non-toxic, and produces no harmful fumes during printing, making it ideal for educational, office, and home environments.
Why Choose MakerBot PLA Filament?
MakerBot True Colour PLA is manufactured in the USA and quality tested at both 100-micron and 200-micron layer resolutions to ensure consistent performance across all print types. The filament features a consistently round diameter that ensures smooth flow through the extruder nozzle and even, high-quality layers. Each colour undergoes rigorous long-duration testing using 18-24 hour print jobs to verify there are no variances in quality or performance.

Perfect for Professional 3D Printing
This XXL spool is designed for use with the MakerBot Replicator Z18 printer and requires an external spool system such as the MakerBot Filament Cart (MP06133) or a rack rail. The large spool size reduces the need for frequent filament changes during multi-hour prints, making it perfect for production environments, educational institutions, and professional design studios.
Environmentally Friendly & Safe
PLA (polylactic acid) is a renewable bioplastic derived from corn starch. Unlike ABS and other petroleum-based filaments, PLA doesn't emit toxic fumes when melted, making it safe for use in classrooms, offices, and home workshops. It's also biodegradable under industrial composting conditions, reducing environmental impact.
