3D printing material Creality 3D 3301010308 PLA Grey 1 kg 1.75 mm

Creality 3D 3301010308 PLA Grey 1 kg 1.75 mm is a polylactic acid (PLA) filament designed for fused filament fabrication (FFF/FDM) 3D printers. This grey, 1.75 mm diameter filament is supplied on a 1 kg spool and is intended to deliver consistent extrusion, good layer adhesion and reliable dimensional results across a wide range of print settings. The material formulation focuses on ease of printing, minimal warping and predictable behaviour when cooling, which makes it suitable for both prototype models and functional parts where PLA properties are acceptable.

Advantages

The PLA Grey filament offers good surface finish and fine detail reproduction with low tendency to warp, allowing for dependable prints on open or heated-bed setups. Its standard 1.75 mm diameter and controlled spool winding reduce feed issues and help maintain steady extrusion. PLA is biodegradable under industrial composting conditions and does not require high-temperature hotends, enabling energy-efficient printing and simpler temperature management.

Suitable for

• Prototyping and concept models
• Decorative items and visual mock-ups
• Educational projects and classroom use
• Non-load-bearing functional parts and fixtures
• Hobbyist prints and detailed miniatures

Key specifications

• Material: Polylactic acid (PLA)
• Colour: Grey
• Filament diameter: 1.75 mm
• Spool weight: 1 kg
• Compatibility: Typical FFF/FDM 3D printers using 1.75 mm filament

How to use

Load the 1.75 mm PLA filament into a compatible Creality or other 1.75 mm FFF/FDM printer following the printer manufacturer's filament loading procedure. Use a nozzle temperature commonly in the range of 190–220°C and a bed temperature of 0–60°C depending on adhesion method; start with manufacturer-recommended settings and adjust for optimal layer bonding and surface finish. Ensure the filament path is free of sharp bends and that the spool rotates smoothly. Store unopened spools in a dry environment; once opened, keep the filament in a resealable bag with desiccant to limit moisture uptake.

Usage recommendations

For best results, print PLA Grey at moderate speeds (40–60 mm/s) and use a cooling fan after the first few layers to improve detail and overhang performance. When printing larger parts, consider using a heated bed at a low temperature or adhesion aids such as blue tape or glue stick to prevent base lifting. Avoid prolonged exposure to high humidity; if prints show stringing or poor layer adhesion, try drying the filament at low temperature before use.
