Recycled PLA colors may resemble other colors or appear totally unique depending on the waste source of a given batch. In either case, the color is indeed unique and unknown before we make the filament (this is why we opted for numbers, rather than names). When gone from our shelves, the same color will never be made again. We are mixing 100kg batches and fully compounding our materials to ensure color consistency within the batch. While we are overwriting the color of some PLA to make it black (with glitter still showing through), we are seeking to maintain color whenever possible. So far, we’ve ended up with many beautiful colors!

Fantastic filament

Love this filament. It comes completely dry and prints perfectly right from the sealed package into my AMS. Love so much that it is recycled.

I can't believe the recycled pla they make is better than many alternatives that I've bought before, while being a few dollars less. I wish they did this for all basic pla colors (while keeping the price)

I recommend this product

yeah its good

printed 4 spools of this no issues on bambu p1p printers. Sands easy, prints without fuss using the "generic pla" bambu slicer settings. Set your "Top Z distance" in your support settings to 0.25mm and you're good to go.

Dreamy prints!

This is a FANTASTIC material. Very impressive that this is recycled. I have been using it for structural prints and prototyping, but I could see using this for a production part. Printing using the rear spool holder on a Bambu Labs X1 Carbon.

My go to Filament

This is now to standard for me when printing. Not only is it only 20 per 1kg spool but I love the fact that they aren't just wasting extras!
