Uglymonkey Silk Copper PLA

Uglymonkey Silk Copper PLA filament for 3D Printing. High quality, constant diameter filament. Available in bright constant colours for accurate repeatable prints.  The filament comes on a plastic spool and is vacuum sealed in a plastic bag with dessicants.  Each spool is marked with the type of filament, the recommended printing temperature and the manufacturing batch number.  We have a lot of confidence in the filament we supply, because we use it ourselves.  This filament is manufactured for Uglymonkey 3D Printers under strict quality control.

PLA (Polylactic acid) is very common in the 3D Printers industry.  This is mostly due to its low thermal expansion coefficient.  This means less warping and curling during printing.  PLA is not as tough as other plastics, but delivers prints with very high accuracy, ideal for prototyping and scale models.  It is available in a range of colors and is easy to print with.
