Filament Gembird PLA Blue [1,75mm, 1kg]

Gembird PLA 1.75 mm 1 kg – A versatile and reliable filament for high-quality 3D printing

Discover the reliable Gembird PLA filament (1.75 mm, 1 kg), which is the ideal choice for both beginners and advanced 3D printer users. This biodegradable thermoplastic polyester boasts excellent flow, a low melting point and completely odourless printing. Thanks to minimal warping, it does not require a covered print chamber or complex post-processing.

The filament’s precise round cross-section, with a tolerance of ±0.05 mm, ensures smooth feeding into the print head without bubbles or jams. The result is clean prints with vibrant colours, strong layer adhesion and high dimensional accuracy.

Key benefits

• Easy, odourless printing: Low print shrinkage, excellent adhesion to the build plate and printing without unpleasant fumes.
• High filament precision: A tolerance of ±0.05 mm guarantees an even flow of material without bubbles.
• Vibrant colours and a smooth surface: The precise structure of the material ensures high visual quality of prints without the need for post-processing.
• Eco-friendly material: Biodegradable PLA plastic made from renewable resources.
• Universal compatibility: Suitable for the vast majority of FDM/FFF 3D printers with a filament diameter of 1.75 mm.
