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 Cobalt Blue 1.75mm PLA in a generous 1kg spool. Cobalt Blue is an intense blue like no other. It's so intense it's almost purple! It pops and glows as it comes off the production line - a real eye-catcher for your models! 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.

We also stock a blue PETG filament from 3DQF!
