3D printing material Creality 3D 3301010066 Polylactic acid PLA Grey 1 kg

Creality 3D 3301010066 Polylactic acid (PLA) Grey 1 kg is a 1.75 mm filament spool designed for general-purpose FDM 3D printing. The grey PLA offers consistent extrusion characteristics, dimensional stability and a surface finish suitable for prototypes, household objects and visual models. The filament is compatible with Creality 3D printers and formulated to meet common environmental safety standards, making it suitable for routine printing tasks where easy handling and reliable results are required.

Advantages

The PLA material provides low-warp printing with minimal heated bed requirements, good layer adhesion and predictable flow behavior at typical PLA temperatures. Its grey colour produces neutral, easy-to-post-process prints and masks minor surface imperfections. The 1 kg spool format balances print volume and storage convenience, while the 1.75 mm diameter ensures wide printer compatibility and steady feeding in most consumer FDM machines.

Suitable for

• Rapid prototyping and concept models
• Household items, fixtures and decorative parts
• Educational projects and classroom use
• Visual models and display pieces

Key specifications

• Material: Polylactic acid (PLA)
• Spool weight: 1 kg
• Filament diameter: 1.75 mm
• Colour: Grey
• Compatibility: Consumer FDM printers, including Creality 3D models
• Certification: Conforms to common environmental safety standards (RoHS, REACH)

How to use

Load the 1.75 mm PLA filament into the printer following the manufacturer’s filament loading procedure. Set the recommended nozzle temperature within the common PLA range (typically around 190–220 °C) and use a suitable print speed and layer height for the model complexity. A heated bed is optional for many PLA prints; if used, set the bed temperature to a low value (around 40–60 °C) to assist adhesion. Purge the nozzle after loading to confirm consistent extrusion and monitor the first layer to ensure proper bed adhesion.

Recommendations

Store the filament in a dry environment and use desiccant packs when storing partially used spools. For best surface quality, dial in retraction and cooling settings according to printer and model geometry. When stronger mechanical properties are needed, consider post-processing options such as annealing with manufacturer-approved methods or choosing an alternative material suited to higher temperature or load-bearing applications.
