No extra pricing. We stock and use them at every location, so your product is made the same way wherever your buyer is.
In theory
The most widely used 3D printing plastic. Rigid, dimensionally accurate, and able to hold crisp detail.
In practice
In theory
A tougher, slightly flexible plastic with better heat and impact resistance than PLA.
In practice
| PLA vs PETG | PLA | PETG |
|---|---|---|
| Detail and finish | Excellent | Very good, glossier |
| Toughness | Rigid, can snap | Tougher, bends before breaking |
| Heat resistance | Low | Moderate |
| Typical use | Decor and display | Functional and everyday use |
Specify the color, and optionally the brand, of the filament you need. Custom materials are generally charged a bit more, and some specialty filaments need the first roll bought up front for each location that will produce your product.
Not every brand is available in every country. When that is the case we will tell you, and work with you to find an alternative.
How to add one
In your product, set the file material to Add Custom and type the material name, including the brand if you need a specific one.

Recommended for consistent color between batches and continents. Internationally available almost without issues.
Recommended for a wide color range and PLA with extra features like Granite or Sparkle. Has seen shortages in some regions recently.
Recommended for tough, durable parts. Has seen shortages in some regions recently.
Recommendations based on our own experience and what we see in the wider 3D printing community.
PLA and PETG, each in translucent or clear, black, white, gray, blue, green, orange, yellow, red, purple, and pink, plus brown in PLA. Standard materials cost nothing extra, because we stock and use them at every location.
Yes, as a custom material. Set your product file material to "Add Custom" and type the material name, including the brand if you need a specific one. Custom materials are generally charged a bit more.
For some specialty filaments, the first roll has to be bought for each location that will produce your product. After that, the material is ready whenever your orders come in.
Most often Polymaker, eSun, and Bambu, depending on availability. Some production centers also use local filament brands, as long as they meet our quality standards.
Polymaker, for color stability between batches and continents and reliable international availability. Bambu is great for color choice and special finishes, and eSun for toughness, but both have seen regional shortages recently.
Yes. An eco-friendly or recycled filament brand can be used as a custom material.
