Pastel Green 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 Pastel Green 1.75mm PLA in a generous 1kg spool. Pastel Green is a brilliantly smooth, soft green with a kind of mature, calm feel to it. We think this will be great for plant pots, historic figures, pirates, aliens, classy vase-mode prints and general decorations! Also goes well with our Pastel Pink or Pastel Blue for awesome multi-colour prints.
Not the green you were looking for? We’ve got lots of other green PLA options in the store:
- British Racing Green – Racing heritage on a spool
- Utility Green – For your camo/airsoft props n’ things
- Kiwi – You don’t get more green than this!
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.
Recommended Printing Parameters
- Hot end Temperature: 210-2200°C (start at 210°C and adjust up/down for your printer/scenario)
- Bed Temperature: 40-50°C or unheated (start at 50°C and adjust for your printer/scenario)
- First Layer Speed: 30 mmps or lower (we use 12.5mmps!)
- Print Speed: 50-80mmps (we stick below 50mmps)
- Retraction: 2-4mm
- Fan: 100% from the start
- Filament cleaner: Recommended
- Like all PLA, keep it dry and away from humidity as much as possible
…and always check your levels…then check em’ again!
