British Racing 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 British Racing Green 1.75mm PLA in a generous 1kg spool. British Racing Green is an iconic British colour. This filament gives off a deep luxurious green with a huge nod to our strong racing heritage. 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.
Printable Spool Adaptors
As the spool is cardboard, you may want to print an adapter for your setup (please note that future batches of this filament may include a printed spool inner already within the reel):
- Bambu Labs AMS users - Print this spool adaptor for the best performance (we also found that squishing a big ball of blu-tack inside the adapter can help keep the AMS happy as the extra weight helps to keep the spool in place)
- Bambu AMS Lite users - Print these low-friction spool rings
- Using a roller-type spool holder? Print one of these spool edge protectors (Not AMS-friendly, use the AMS version above)
- Using a traditional spool holder? Print these low-friction inserts for smooth, stable unloading
Recommended Printing Parameters
- Hot end Temperature: 210-225°C (start at 210°C and adjust for your printer/scenario)
- Bed Temperature: 30-50°C (start at 50°C and adjust for your printer/scenario)
- First Layer Speed: 30 mmps
- Print Speed: 50-80mmps
- 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!
