3D Printer Filament

Here's every 1.75 mm filament we stock, most of it on 1 kg spools. Not sure where to start? Go for PLA: it's the easiest to print and the cheapest. If the part has to take knocks, heat or life outdoors, step up to PETG or our technical filaments. And if you need something that bends, have a look at flexible TPU.

Which filament do I need?

It depends on what you're printing far more than on the printer. Pretty much any current FDM printer handles PLA and PETG without any fuss; for everything else it's worth checking a couple of things first.

Figures, decorations, prototypes, bits for around the house: PLA. It barely warps, doesn't smell and forgives almost anything. Its weak spot is heat: leave it in a car in summer and it goes soft.

Parts that actually get used (brackets, boxes, parts for the printer itself): PETG. It's tougher, takes more heat and prints almost as easily.

Outdoors, sun and heat: ASA. That's what we'd pick for anything that's going to sit outside all year round. You'll find it under technical filaments, along with ABS, polycarbonate and the carbon fibre blends.

Parts that need to flex: TPU. Phone cases, seals, wheels, bumpers.

Something that looks the part: silk, marble, galaxy, metallic, glow in the dark…. Nearly all of them are PLA underneath, so they print just as easily.

If you'd like to go through it properly, we've got a guide to choosing filament and another one covering every type of 3D printer filament.

How much does a spool of filament cost?

A 1 kg spool of standard PLA costs roughly €13 to €16. From there the price goes up with the material: PETG is around €13-15, effect filaments €18-23, ASA and ABS €16-22, carbon fibre blends €21-25 and TPU €23-30. Engineering filaments (fibre-filled nylon, PEI, PEEK) are another league altogether: from about €36 a spool to well over €400 for PEEK and PEKK. The full table is further down the page.

A kilo of PLA goes a long way. A 10 cm figure usually uses between 20 and 50 g depending on the infill, so one spool covers plenty of prints (we work it out with examples in how far 1 kg of filament goes). If you're unsure about a colour or a material, we have 50 g samples so you can try it before buying a full spool.

PLA, PLA+ and PETG: the differences that actually matter

PLA is the classic. Easy, cheap and it gives a nice finish. Push it hard and it breaks before the others do, and it doesn't like heat.

PLA+ is PLA that's been modified to be less brittle. It prints the same, sometimes a bit hotter, and you notice the difference on parts with clips or thin walls. If you're torn between the two and the price is similar, go for PLA+.

PETG is a step up: it copes with more heat, more knocks and moisture. The trade-off is more stringing, and it sticks to the bed like glue (on smooth PEI, use some kind of release agent). For functional parts it's the obvious choice.

If you want the detail, we compare them properly in PLA vs PETG and PLA+ vs PLA. You'll find them all in our PLA and PLA+ and PETG collections.

Do I need a hardened nozzle or an enclosed printer?

For PLA, PETG and TPU, no.

For carbon fibre filaments (PLA-CF, PETG-CF, PA6-CF, PET-CF) you do need a hardened steel nozzle: the fibre will chew through a brass one in a few spools.

ABS, ASA, polycarbonate and nylon come out much better on an enclosed printer. On an open machine you can get away with ASA and ABS for small parts if you're patient; with polycarbonate and nylon, don't even try. We go through it material by material in technical filaments.

Keep your filament dry

Most of the odd problems (stringing, bubbles, popping at the nozzle, parts snapping for no obvious reason) come from filament that has absorbed moisture. PLA copes fairly well; PETG, TPU, nylon and PVA much less so.

The simplest fix: once a spool is open, keep it in an airtight box or bag with its silica gel. If it's already damp, a few hours in a filament dryer and it's as good as new. Every product page lists the drying temperature and time the manufacturer recommends, and here's how to dry filament step by step.

3D printer filament: frequently asked questions

What's the best filament for beginners?

PLA. It gives you the fewest problems and it's the cheapest. Once you've got your printer dialled in, try PETG.

How much does a spool of 3D printer filament cost?

A 1 kg spool of PLA is around €13-16. PETG is about €13-15, effect filaments (silk, marble, metallic) €18-23, TPU €23-30, ASA and ABS around €16-22 and carbon fibre blends around €21-25.

How many prints do you get from a 1 kg spool?

It depends on the size and infill, but a 10 cm figure usually uses between 20 and 50 g. Your slicer tells you the exact weight before you print.

Which filament diameter should I use, 1.75 or 2.85 mm?

Almost every current printer uses 1.75 mm, which is what we sell. 2.85 mm is only used by a few specific machines, such as some Ultimaker models.

Which filament can handle sun and heat?

For outdoor use, ASA: it stands up to sunlight without softening or yellowing. For heat without sun, PETG if it's moderate and polycarbonate if it's a lot.

Will Anycubic filament work in my Bambu Lab, Creality or Prusa?

Yes. It's standard 1.75 mm filament. The only thing you won't use is the RFID chip, which is only read by Anycubic printers with their multicolour system.

How can I tell if my filament has absorbed moisture?

If you hear popping at the nozzle, see bubbles or stringing that wasn't there before, or your parts come out brittle, it's moisture. Dry it before you carry on printing.

What's the difference between PLA and PETG?

PLA is easier to print and gives a better finish; PETG handles knocks, heat and moisture better. PLA for decorative pieces, PETG for parts that are going to be used.

What is a spoolless filament refill?

It's the same filament, wound without the plastic spool. It's a bit cheaper and means less waste; you fit it onto a reusable spool and you're good to go.

What's the difference between filament and resin?

They're different technologies. Filament is for FDM printers, which melt a strand of plastic; resin is for resin printers, which give far more detail but need more cleaning up afterwards. You can't use one in place of the other.
