Kiwi PLA Filament (1.75mm, 1kg)
3DQF PLA is made in Greater Manchester right here in the UK, with tight tolerances, the highest quality material and a fully recyclable custom cardboard spool. We’re big fans of 3DQF filament and it’s great to support a fellow small UK business in the maker scene.
This is 3DQF Kiwi 1.75mm PLA in a generous 1kg spool. Time for a more exciting Green! A fun and fruity summer colour that has an incredible pop. A really energetic, bright colour that you need to have on your shelf ready for that next vibrant print. We also have many other colours available in the store!
The custom laser-cut cardboard is fully recyclable and includes a filament indicator to help you keep an eye on your remaining PLA. You can also 3D print a roller-style edge protection rim or axle-style low-friction spool rings for your spool holder.
3DQF PLA holds a tight tolerance of 0.06mm – and that’s over a 21-kilometre run (a human hair is .04!)! This 3D Printing filament enjoys higher temperatures than others on the market (200-225°C), so we suggest starting at 210°C and adjusting to suit your printer/results.
