Bulk PLA filament is a high-quality 3D printing filament produced in the European Union. Bulk PLA was developed for high-volume, cost-efficient production, guaranteeing consistent quality and durability even on a large scale.
Bulk PLA filament is the ideal choice for manufacturers, production facilities, prototyping labs and makers who require reliable results without sacrificing convenience. Each 1 kg reel is made of certified second-life polypropylene (PP) from post-consumer recycled materials. The packaging is made from FSC-certified recycled cardboard, offering an environmentally responsible solution that supports a more sustainable production cycle. To maximise usability, the 1 kg rolls are fully compatible with AMS systems, ensuring seamless integration with various 3D printing systems.

* The above settings are provided as a guide for optimal printing parameters. These ranges should work with most printers, but feel free to experiment outside these values if you feel it suits your machine. In fact, there are many types of printers, hot-end and offset, making it very difficult to define a universal setting that applies to everyone.
* In case of high-speed printing, the above settings may require specific adjustments.

Storage and Handling
The filament should be stored at room temperature, in a dry and dark place, with a humidity of less than 15%. The recommended storage temperature is approx. 18-25°C (64.4-77.0°F). Keep away from moisture, sunlight and direct heat sources.
If stored correctly, the product has a shelf life of 24 months. For best printing results, we recommend drying the material before use and 3D printing directly from a dry box.
Package contains: 1 x Bulk PLA 1.75mm / 1kg / Spool - Formfutura
