PLA; the staple of desktop 3D printing. Short for polylactic acid, PLA is a bioplastic derived from plant-based sources, meaning it is more environmentally friendly compared to ABS, for example. However, PLA production is depleting natural resources faster that they can be replenished. To address this issue, we have pioneered rPLA 3D printer filament, still boasting the same great PLA features such as; low warping, limited smell and premium print quality – but with the added benefit of being produced from factory waste streams as opposed to virgin pellets. All users of rPLA can feel good about reducing the demand for natural resources and therefore saving the environment, whilst being confident that the print quality will still be one of the best on the market! The go-to filament for all 3D printer owners, perfect consumer products, toys and general prototypes.

Just used up the sample that I got at the TCT show – Real quality filament – nice finish dialled in at 215c extrusion and 60c on the heated bed – printed some upgrades for my printer.Will be ordering soon.

I’ve tried various filaments from different companies and have to say I’m very impressed.
It’s cheaper than my previous go to brand who’s prices have been steadily rising and prints with the same quality and finish I’ve come to expect. On my Prusa MK3 I print at 215 first layer and 210 onwards with 60 for the bed and haven’t had a failed print yet.
I hate the plastic spools you end up accumulating but love the fact these are cardboard thus making it more environmentally friendly.
Looking forward to try the new matte filament when it’s out!

This is my absolute favorite silver PLA! I’ve compaired it to lots of other brands out there in the wild. But this one I really like best.

I’m very impressed with my first reel. I’ve been printing for 5 yrs and now do this as a small business.
This is as good as Ultimaker (UM) material which I view as the best 3D Printing PLA filament available just now. However it’s 1/2 the price!
Like the UM material it produces nice fine layers (0.4mm nozzle) with minimal visible layers and no ooze or surface artefacts. Surface sanding and finishing is also easier as this material (again like UM brand) seems harder than other comparably priced PLA when it is printed.
The colour (Silver) is also good
