Information about our filaments :-
Our filaments are made for us directly from our supplier. They are what we use for all our Models on our website, they are very high quality and we also offer our complete range for sale, in either multiples of 10 meter lengths or full rolls of 1kg. We can assist any buyer of our filaments with printer settings and trouble shooting advise because we use it ourselves everyday and know our material inside and out.
We offer free samples of these to new customers to try before you buy. Just add up to 5 * 10 meter lengths to your shopping cart and enter the coupon code “samples” at checkout and the cost will be reduced to £0.00. We will also send you a free swatches set that shows our complete range. The colours within this range are pretty constant so if you are a regular printer they will match. With all 3d printing filament there is always a slight change in shading from batch to batch, if you are planning a large print and want the rolls to fully match then please let us know and we will be happy to supply them all from the same batch for you.
Because we are small and family run we offer support you won’t receive from the large commercial companies. We can deliver locally free of charge for larger orders. However although small we carry a large stock of filaments with a rapid re stocking time.
Technical specifications of our Filaments :-
With all filaments and printers these settings may vary, however we have listed the ranges and then what we recommend and use on our printers. We would like to add that all 4 of our printers run at the same heat and flow settings for all of our filaments (other than PVA supports as this is always lower)

Our black plastic spools and our cardboard boxes are 100% recycled and 100% recyclable and can be put into UK home recycle bins or can be re-used. We use our old spools to make items like our spool storage holder, so if you are local and want to return any holders to us then this is not a problem.
