Genuine MakerBot Translucent PLA Filament is Optimized for the MakerBot Replicator, Replicator Z18, & Replicator 2 3D Printer. It rates as one of the highest quality filaments on the market today and is available in a huge selection of vibrant colours. We have found MakerBot PLA filament to have excellent colour consistency between rolls, high manufacturing quality and dimensional accuracy and lower print failures. We have also found that Genuine MakerBot PLA filament has a  higher vicat softening temperature than other inferior brand filament making it less prone to heat creep and blocked extruders. MakerBot Translucent PLA Filament Colour Range

Genuine MakerBot PLA filament is recommended for Makerbot 3D Printers such as the MakerBot Replicator 5th Generation series (MakerBot Mini, MakerBot Replicator, MakerBot Z18), the MakerBot Replicator 2. It is also compatible with other brand 3d printers that use 1.75mm PLA filament.

MakerBot Transulcent Red PLA FIlament Sample Print

Tested extensively, the MakerBot PLA filament is manufactured to high tolerances with strong colours, and prints best between 210 - 220 Celsius. 

Tips from the 3D Printing Experts-

If you’re new to 3D printing, MakerBot PLA Filament is a good material to start with because it’s easy to use and performs well on most prints.

MakerBot PLA Filament adheres well to acrylic and to blue painter’s tape. Prints with a large bottom layer may have a tendency to curl.

To prevent curling, turn on the raft option in MakerBot Desktop.

Store MakerBot PLA Filament in a cool, dry place as it can absorb moisture from air and long-term exposure to humidity can compromise filament quality and performance.
   

Be sure your build plate is level, clean, and oil-free before printing.
