Elevate Your Prints with Premium 1.75mm PLA 3D Printer Filament - Shades of Black, White & Grey

Free shipping in Canada for qualifying orders over $140 before tax. 

Some of these colours are available on cardboard spools, reSpool3D refills, 2kg 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. 

For those tackling larger 3D printing projects or who find themselves printing frequently, Spool3D offers our high-quality PLA in a practical 4.5kg size. This mid-sized format provides a cost-effective solution compared to purchasing multiple 1kg spools, allowing you to complete bigger builds and enjoy extended printing sessions with fewer spool changes.

Our 4.5kg PLA maintains the same excellent printability and strong layer adhesion that you trust from Spool3D PLA. It's a great balance between bulk savings and manageable spool size, perfect for makerspaces, enthusiasts with larger printers, and small-scale production. Choose from a selection of our popular colours and keep your projects running smoothly with this value-packed option.

    • Black: Achieve rich, opaque black prints with a smooth surface. Perfect for designs that require a strong and elegant look.
    • White: Create clean, vibrant white prints with excellent clarity. Ideal for prototypes and designs where a bright, neutral base is needed.
    • Grey: A balanced grey that works well for a wide variety of applications, offering good visibility of details.

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 4.5kg Spools:

    • Ensure a Strong Spool Holder: A 4.5kg 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.
