The 1.75mm true black PLA Filament from MakerBot is a bioplastic derived from corn. It’s guaranteed not to have any heavy metals, phthalates, or BPA (Bisphenol A). The small spool provides 0.5 lbs (0.2 kg) 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.

I received this spool and found it to be exactly the color I wanted. 🙂 So I ordered a 1KG roll from MakerBot and it was much lighter green with more yellow. This is not usable to me. So I will not be repeating any more orders due to loss of faith in your ability to repeat your colors.

This material should cost at least half of what it costs now, not much difference with the generic material. There is a no good balance between cost and benefit. Also printers are a real headache. I’ve bought three Replicator 2 and the scanner and is not shown in the ad, I had to sell three printers not been invented yet.

Prints quite well – needs to be tuned in to your printer to achieve best results, but that’s normal for almost all translucent filaments. Will be interested to see how long the red colorant takes before there is any appreciable fading in sunlight – all reds do eventually.

I made some things with de photochromatic filament and the results are not such I expected. It doesnt change color with the sun.
