PLA and ABS 3D Printer Filament 1.75mm 3mm 1kg Spool Bubble-Free

This 3D printer filament comes in PLA and ABS, each supplied on 1kg spools with a choice of 1.75mm or 3mm diameter. PLA is biodegradable and suits medical, teaching, and food-related settings where environmental protection is a priority. It prints with high gloss, good fluidity, and no smell, and it resists warping on large-area prints. ABS offers higher heat resistance and greater elongation at break. Both materials are 100% bubble-free. PLA gives approximately 340M of line length per 1kg, while ABS gives approximately 400M. This makes the filament suitable for both 3D printers and 3D printing pens.

Features and Construction

These filaments are made from PLA and ABS, with technical data supplied for each. PLA is biodegradable and has a density of 1.25±0.05g/cm³, while ABS has a density of 1.04±0.2g/cm³. The diameter is 1.75mm or 3mm with a tolerance of +0.02mm, and both are 100% bubble-free. PLA prints at 195–230C and ABS at 220–250C.

Material and Build

PLA offers high gloss, good fluidity, low warping on large-area prints, no odour during printing, and resistance to cracking. Its water absorption is 0.50%, tensile strength is ≥60MPa, flexural modulus is ≥60MPa, and elongation at break is ≥3.0%. ABS has higher water absorption at 1%, tensile strength of ≥43MPa, flexural modulus of ≥60MPa, and elongation at break of ≥10.0%. PLA has poor weather resistance and relatively low impact resistance, while ABS has a heat range of 80–120C compared with PLA's 0–60C.

Size and Practical Fit

Each spool has a net weight of 1kg. PLA line length is approximately 340M and ABS line length is approximately 400M. The diameter options of 1.75mm and 3mm with +0.02mm tolerance fit common 3D printers and 3D printing pens. The 1kg spool size is practical for regular printing tasks without needing constant spool changes, and the measured line lengths help you estimate how much filament is available for larger projects.

Uses and Placement

The choice between PLA and ABS depends on the application. PLA is intended for environments where biodegradability and low odour are important, while ABS is suited to parts that may face higher temperatures. Both are supplied in a wide range of colours and can be used in 3D printers or 3D printing pens.

Event or Professional Use

PLA is suitable for medical, teaching, and food-related fields because it is biodegradable and prints without smell. Its high gloss and good fluidity support detailed or large-area printed items, and its low warping helps maintain shape on broad surfaces. ABS is more appropriate where heat resistance up to 80–120C is needed and where higher elongation at break is useful for parts that may flex.

Everyday Home Use

For home 3D printing, PLA offers an easy starting point with no smell and low warping. ABS can be used where greater heat tolerance is required. Both filaments come on 1kg spools with long line lengths, so they suit regular hobby printing. The 1.75mm and 3mm diameter options fit many desktop 3D printers and 3D printing pens, making the filament usable across different setups.

Benefits and Buying Value

The main practical benefits come from the material data. PLA is biodegradable, prints with high gloss, flows well, resists cracking, and resists warping on large prints. ABS provides higher heat resistance and greater elongation at break. Both are 100% bubble-free, which supports consistent feeding. The 1kg spools and measured line lengths help with planning larger or repeated prints.

Reuse and Low Maintenance

PLA's low water absorption of 0.50% means it takes on less moisture than ABS at 1%, so keeping it in a dry place supports reliable printing. ABS should be stored away from moisture because of its higher absorption. PLA's no-smell printing and low warping reduce the need for extra ventilation or reprinting due to shape changes. The 100% bubble-free construction helps avoid feeding issues that can interrupt a print.

Why Choose This Product

This filament offers a straightforward choice between two materials with published technical values. PLA suits projects where biodegradability, high gloss, and low odour matter, and it is aimed at medical, teaching, and food-related uses. ABS suits projects needing heat resistance of 80–120C and higher elongation. With 1.75mm and 3mm diameters, +0.02mm tolerance, 1kg net weight, and long line lengths, it covers a range of 3D printing and 3D printing pen tasks.
