PETg sits in a useful middle ground: tougher and more impact resistant than PLA, but still straightforward enough for everyday printing without moving into specialist engineering polymers. It’s the material most people reach for once a printed part needs to...
As of August 2026, there are a small number of genuine UK filament manufacturers actually extruding material on British soil — among them Altec3D, 3DQF, and 3DTomorrow. Alongside them sits Filamentive: not a manufacturer, but the UK’s leading sustainable...
Why we launched ReFill 3D Printing Filament in the UK Most kerbside recycling in the UK isn’t set up to handle the plastics filament spools are made from, so a lot of it ends up as landfill or general waste, regardless of good intentions. Filamentive opted for...
If you’ve ordered 0.75kg (750g) PLA or PETG filament from us in 1.75mm before, here’s what’s changing, why, and what to use instead. We’re phasing out the 0.75kg PLA and PETG reels in 1.75mm diameter. The 0.75kg reels in 2.85mm will stay...
2.85 mm filament may no longer be mainstream for most 3D printers, but for industries, universities, and large-format print users in the UK, it remains mission‑critical. Whether you’re using Ultimaker, BigRep, or other professional-grade 3D printing systems, you need...
