Back-to-basics Natural PLA

4043D PLA Filament

$3.00 USD $4.00 USD

PLA1170-NAT

No sparkles or fancy finishes here, just natural, unmodified Natureworks Ingeo 4043D PLA resin extruded into filament and spooled onto cardboard spools to minimize environmental impact and maximize value. Many filaments are wound onto wasteful plastic spools because it's cheap and easy, but cardboard is sturdy enough for single use, saves shipping weight, and is easily recycled when done! Proto-pasta filament is first dried, then extruded without moisture using air cooling for exceptional quality. Minimal waste, no water use, and no additives because less is more when meeting basic needs.

Bog Standard?

I personally love this stuff, works excellent, has the lowest odor of any filament I've ever worked with, and is a highly consistent diameter.

Good to hear! We don't like plastic fumes, either. :-)

Best PLA Filament

The PLA is easy to use. There is no having to dial in temperature settings for the odd PLA mixes, nor having to waste filament due to impurities. Great stuff.
