When you need a supplier of 3D printer filament in South Africa, 3D Unique has you covered. Our online store features a sensible range. This range covers selections from leading industry brands that include Creality, Flashforge, and Raise3D.
There are several crucial elements that you must keep in mind when shopping for 3D printer filament. You cannot simply buy filament based on the colour or brand but should always consider aspects that would determine whether you are able to use that specific filament with your current 3D printer. Today, we talk about things to consider when buying 3D printer filament for personal and/or professional applications.
How Do I Buy the Correct Filament?
- Consider the Compatibility
With such a wide variety of 3D printer filament to choose from, it can be overwhelming to find a compatible filament that matches your printer. This comes down to the specific printer model and the temperatures at which your printer extrudes filament during a build. It is crucial to match the filament with your printer model, and our website gives you a complete filament chart to allow you to buy a perfect match.
- Consider the Filament Type
3D Unique sells an abundance of different 3D printer filament types. These include TPU, PETG, and PLA to only name a few. Once again, this can be an overwhelming flood of information to consider. However, a little research can get you to a point where you can comprehend the difference between the filaments and make an informed choice about the type of filament that you want to use for your next builds.
- Match Your Filament Brand with Your Printer Brand
Although there are various compatibility matches that span over different brands, it is always a good idea to match your 3D printer filament brand with the brand of your printer. For example, if you have a Creality printer at home, you should consider buying Creality filament to use with your printer. This will give you optimal results and limit the possibility of having to deal with problems or troubleshooting issues along the way.
- Buy the Ideal Colour
This is an optional extra – having a wide range of colours to choose from. When printing engineering parts, the colour does not matter so much. However, when printing figurines, the colour can make or break your design.
