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 Hickory Brown 1.75mm PLA in a generous 1kg spool. Hickory Brown is a dark chocolate brown which will contrast very nicely with the Caramel PLA we also stock. This will look awesomesauce for earthy, natural models or as a great base for terrain pieces. We also have many other colours available in the store!
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.

Like all PLA, keep it dry and away from humidity as much as possible
...and always check your levels...then check em' again!
