Description
For 3D printing enthusiasts who find themselves printing regularly or tackling larger projects, Spool3D offers our high-quality PLA in a practical 2kg size.
Free shipping in Canada for qualifying orders over $140 before tax.
Some of these colours are available on cardboard spools, reSpool3D refills, 4.5kg rolls, and 10kg rolls.
Print it right with Spool3D PLA 3D printer filament. Our PLA thermoplastic filament is manufactured with tight tolerances from premium grade material.
This larger format provides better value per kilogram compared to standard 1kg spools, allowing you to complete bigger builds and enjoy extended printing sessions with fewer interruptions for spool changes.
Our 2kg PLA maintains the same excellent printability, strong layer adhesion, and minimal warping that you've come to expect from Spool3D PLA. It's a smart choice for makers, hobbyists with larger printers, and those looking to optimize their filament costs without committing to a massive 10kg spool. Choose from a selection of our popular colours and keep your creative flow uninterrupted with this economical option.
-
- Black: Achieve rich, opaque black prints with a smooth surface. Perfect for designs that require a strong and elegant look.
- Blue - A deep, cool blue. It evokes the feeling of a deep ocean or a twilight sky.
- Grey: A balanced grey that works well for a wide variety of applications, offering good visibility of details.
- Dark Grey: A deeper grey that provides contrast and a more industrial feel.
- Dark Orange - A highly saturated and luminous orange. It's not quite a fluorescent "neon" in the traditional sense, but it possesses a brightness that makes it stand out significantly.
- Red - A classic, true red. It's not leaning towards orange or blue; it's a clean and direct red hue. Think of the quintessential "fire engine red" but perhaps with a touch more depth and richness.
- Translucent - Unlike clear materials like glass, translucent PLA allows light to pass through but diffuses it, so objects viewed through it will appear blurred or indistinct. Think of frosted glass or a sheer fabric.
- White: Create clean, vibrant white prints with excellent clarity. Ideal for prototypes and designs where a bright, neutral base is needed.

PLA filament is an excellent material for a beginner to start with and has the added benefit of being a bio-plastic, typically derived from corn. Low odour and consistently round diameters make this material very easy to work with.
Tips for Printing with PLA:
-
- Ensure your bed is level for optimal first layer adhesion.
- Experiment with printing temperatures to find the best results for your printer.
- Consider using a cooling fan for intricate details and bridging.
- Store your PLA filament in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight when not in use. Please use the resealable plastic bag with the desiccant pack provided.
Tips for Using 2kg Spools:
-
- Ensure a Strong Spool Holder: A 2kg spool is significantly heavier than standard spools. Use a robust spool holder that can handle the weight safely and ensure smooth unwinding.
- Consider a Filament Guide System: Due to the larger size, a well-designed filament guide system can help prevent tangling and ensure consistent feeding to your printer, especially over long print jobs.

Great PLA for large prints
I'm on my fourth spool of Spool3D PLA 2kg filament, and have been happy with the results. Note, the 2kg spool does not come with an extra resealable bag as it currently says in the description.
