Top-class European Product
As a USA-based 3D printing supplier, we're excited to offer colorFabb 3D printing filaments. This wonderful product is sourced from the Netherlands. We offer PLA Economy in a few colors, on XL spools to keep it very affordable. Ideally suited for users who print serious volumes.
Recommended Print Settings
Printing temperature: 195C-220C
Bed temperature: 50-60C
Printing speed: 40 - 100 mm/s
Cooling: 100% fan cooling for best aesthetics (this gives the best performance on overhangs and small details). For best mechanical performance, try printing with the least amount of cooling needed, for optimal layer adhesion.
Works well with Ultimaker 3D Printers
colorFabb has tested and verified their 2.85mm filament on all models of Ultimaker 3D Printers. Due to the large spool size of the economy spools, you may want to 3D print a custom spool holder, like the one found here.
Packaging Quality
Each spool of colorFabb 3D printing filament comes sealed airtight in a double barrier foil, which protects it from the elements as it makes its trip to your 3D printer.

If you have a question about proper usage of any of their products, drop us a line: support@3duniverse.org. As one of their US-based distribution partners, we're happy to help you get the best results.
