Owning a 3D printer without filament is like having a regular printer without paper or ink. Even though many printers come with some filament, you might have used it up and need a new supply. That's why we offer a wide range of 3D printing filaments in various colors! This 1KG spool of 1.75mm black PLA filament is an excellent basic material for 3D printers. With a 1.75mm diameter, it works great with PrintrBot Simples. Before buying, it's always smart to check the diameter and filament type your printer can handle. PLA is a bioplastic made from renewable natural resources. It's biodegradable in commercial compost facilities, so you can feel eco - friendly about your prints. When using PLA, there's less warping, and it extrudes best between 160°C and 220°C. If you want more info on different 3D printing materials, check out our Learn System!


Using this 1KG black 1.75mm diameter PLA filament for your 3D printer is easy. First, make sure your printer can handle 1.75mm diameter PLA filament. Before you start printing, set the extrusion temperature between 160°C and 220°C for the best results. When it comes to storage, keep the filament in a dry place to avoid moisture absorption, which can affect the quality of your prints. As for maintenance, there's not much you need to do for the filament itself. But remember to clean your printer's extruder regularly to ensure smooth printing. And don't forget, this filament is biodegradable in commercial compost facilities, so you can dispose of any unused parts in an environmentally - friendly way.
