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 Sky Blue 1.75mm PLA in a generous 1kg spool. Sky Blue is a bright, happy almost Smurf-like colour for your 3D prints, great for making toys, models and more. If you'd rather something a bit more subtle, you might prefer Kingfisher Blue. 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.
