The 1.75mm true black PLA Filament (Large Spool) from MakerBot is a bioplastic derived from corn. It’s guaranteed not to have any heavy metals, phthalates, or BPA (Bisphenol A). The large spool provides 2 lbs (0.9kg) of PLA plastic filament.
The MakerBot PLA Filament is comprehensively quality tested at both 100-micron and 200-micron layer resolutions on the MakerBot Replicator 2 to verify that the filament will perform every feature that the MakerBot MakerWare software offers and will reliably slice and print every type of 3D printing available.
If you’re new to 3D printing, the MakerBot PLA Filament is a good material to start with. The MakerBot PLA Filament also adheres well to acrylic and to blue painter’s tape. Prints with a large bottom may have a tendency to curl. To prevent curling, use rafts.
To ensure high filament quality and performance, store the MakerBot PLA Filament in a cool, dry place when not in use. This is because the MakerBot PLA Filament will absorb moisture from the air if exposed to humidity for long periods of time. Also, your build-plate must be level, clean, and oil-free to ensure the highest quality 3D printing. It is also recommended that you use the MakerBot PLA Filament and your MakerBot 3D Printer in a well-ventilated area.

The filament is MakerBot filament and I get great prints out of it every time. But more about B&H, they’re turning into my goto source for printing supplies. I needed this color of filament for a project but it was being sold by 3rd party sellers for up to $70 per roll on a competing vendor site. Here it was regular price with a great shipping deal. They’ve had everything I’ve needed every time when the competition didn’t. I’ll be coming here first from now on.

The natural filament has the best print results by far. I set the makerbot 2 replicator to 224C and it prints perfectly.

We use this in our 3D printer. We make 3 high samples of the wood mouldings are customers want before we manufacture. The white filament works great.

The filament is the same whether you buy it here or from MakerBot directly – the difference is free shipping at B&H and it arrived immediately. We’ve waited close to 2 weeks to receive a shipment from MakerBot AND we paid for the shipping. Could not be happier with this purchase.
