The new Monsterfil 5lbs and 10lbs spools were designed to ensure longer print time with less frequent reel changes. The filament has been developed to the highest specification to ensure great 3D printing results. The PLA is sourced from the most reputable chemical manufacturer certified world-wide, NatureWorks Ingeo™ Biopolymer 4032D and is extruded in high flow industrial monofilament plastic extrusion machines. The lengthy extrusion process keeps the filament at a constant tension of 6N that guarantees near perfect thickness with a maximum measured thickness variation of 3%. A small amount of oil was added to the filament surface to prevent accumulation of static electricity and to avoid absorption of moisture.
Extrusion temperature: 210º C / 410 F Active cooling: ON Available spool sizes: 1 kg (2.20 lbs), 2.27 kg (5 lbs), 4.54 kg (10 lbs) Filament diameter 1.75mm
Monsterfil filament will work on any PLA 3D printer that uses non-proprietary spool technology. Monsterfil filament has been tested on various printers, including Makerbot Replicator 2, Makerbot Replicator 5th Gen, Makerbot Z18, Ultimaker 2, SeeMeCnc Orion Delta, BeeTheFirst, Flashforge CreatorPro, Printrbot and many others.
Monsterfil filament has a thin layer of lubricant on the filament to allow easy feeding through the tubes and also to help lubricate your extruder. This minimizes the friction between the filament and any surfaces that it touches before entering the nozzle.
No, the amount of lubricant used is so low that it does not affect layer adhesion, does not accumulate along the passage of the filament or any other adverse effect on your printed part.
Yes, more colors will be available soon. Please enquire for custom colors.
The base PLA and flexible additive compound comes from USA. The master batch color additive and oil are sourced in Europe.
