The PLA filament works with a wide variety of common 3D printers, just double check the spool size to ensure compatibility. The filament is specially engineered to reduce jamming, and its spool includes a built-in gauge, which shows both the percentage of material remaining and the approximate length remaining. Details 3D printer filament Made of popular PLA material Designed to fit most common 3D printers Engineered to reduce jamming Spool’s built-in gauge shows remaining amount Resealable storage bag included PLA Material One of the most commonly used 3D printer materials, PLA (Polylactic Acid) makes a great choice for a wide range of printing applications. The popular thermoplastic material is known for its lower melting temperature and ease of use (no heated bed required), plus it’s low-warp, odorless, and offers a glossy type finish for impressive final results. Care Instructions Return any unused filament back to its resealable bag for future use and to ensure secure, optimal containment. Review: Works as good as any other! - No idea why there aren't any UK reviews for this, so here goes. Buying desertcart basics is like buying Tesco's own lager, you're taking a punt. Thankfully this filament is as good as any I have used, didn't even change any heat settings from my other filament which was double the cost. Just whacked it in and away it went. Id recommend this, it's a no brainer. Probably tastes better than Tesco's lager as well.

Every single roll is the same but some did it once the latest roll 3 times ! So far ! Half way though a print it jumps the hole machine and snaps so print bed moves and pls snaps --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/182037847-amazon-basics-pla-3d-printer-filament-2-85mm-black-1](https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/182037847-amazon-basics-pla-3d-printer-filament-2-85mm-black-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kenya* *Store origin: KE* *Last updated: 2026-07-07*
