Basic PLA is the go-to filament for everyday 3D printing — easy to print, low warping, and available in 28 colours. Whether you’re printing prototypes, decorative pieces, functional parts, or just getting started with 3D printing, Basic PLA delivers consistent, reliable results on virtually any FDM printer without the need for an enclosure or heated bed.
At $16.99 per KG with consistent pigments across batches, it’s one of the best value filaments in our range without compromising on quality. When you reorder a colour, it matches.
Choose from a huge range including core colours like Black, White, and Grey, natural tones like Ivory, Skin/Beige, Coffee Brown, and Brown, blues from Baby Blue through to Dark Blue, greens from Pastel Green to Military Green, pinks including Baby Pink and Pink, warm tones like Orange, Dark Orange, Red, China Red, Yellow, and Dark Yellow, and metallic-effect shades like Pearl White, Pearl Golden, Gold, and Silver.
This range means you can match nearly any project requirement without blending or painting.
PLA is the most widely used 3D printing filament for good reason. It prints at low temperatures (190–220°C), doesn’t require a heated bed or enclosed printer, produces minimal odour, and warps far less than ABS or ASA. It’s the recommended starting material for anyone new to 3D printing, and remains the daily workhorse filament for experienced makers who want reliable, hassle-free results.
PLA is also 100% biodegradable using commercial composting, making it one of the more environmentally conscious filament choices available.
Nozzle temperature: 190–220°C
Bed temperature: 0–60°C (heated bed optional)
Print speed: 50–200 mm/s
Enclosure: not required
Drying: 50°C for 6+ hours if moisture issues appear
Basic PLA ships on a lightweight 185g cardboard spool that is compatible with the Bambu Lab AMS and AMS Lite systems. The cardboard construction also makes it easier to recycle when the spool is empty.

Easy to print and brilliant colours even for dark yellow. Good bed adhesion and releases nicely off the PEI plates. Colours are slightly thin. With 3 walls, I was not expecting to see my infill. Just need to increase the settings. Over all, would definitely use these again.

I can’t complain about the service at all. I haven’t tried the filament as yet, but it was recommended to me by a friend that has a print farm and she is very particular.
