PLA Filament Renkforce RF-5167482 1.75 mm Black Matte 1 kg spool

Renkforce PLA Filament RF-5167482 is a 1 kg spool of 1.75 mm black matte PLA designed for FDM 3D printers. The filament provides consistent diameter and flow for everyday printing tasks, delivering a matte black finish that reduces glare and highlights surface detail. It is formulated for low warping and easy extrusion, making it suitable for prototypes, models and many functional parts when stored dry and used with standard 1.75 mm hotend setups.

Advantages

This PLA filament offers smooth extrusion and stable layer adhesion with minimal odor during printing. The matte black surface gives printed parts a uniform, non-reflective appearance and hides minor layer imperfections. Low shrinkage characteristics reduce the risk of warping on common build plates, while compatibility with standard 1.75 mm hotends simplifies use across a wide range of FDM printers. The 1 kg spool supports extended print jobs without frequent filament changes.

Suitable for

• Prototyping and concept models
• Cosmetic parts and display models with matte finish
• Educational projects and classroom printing
• Functional parts with moderate mechanical demands
• Small-batch production and iterative design testing

How to use

Load the 1.75 mm filament into a compatible FDM printer following the printer manufacturer's loading procedure. Set nozzle temperature according to typical PLA ranges for your printer and nozzle size; begin with a moderate temperature and adjust in small increments to optimise flow and surface finish. Use a build plate prepared for PLA—such as blue tape, glue stick or a heated bed at low temperature—to improve first-layer adhesion. Keep the spool on an unobstructed holder to ensure smooth filament feed.

Usage recommendations

Store the filament in a dry environment or in sealed packaging with desiccant to maintain print quality. For best results, perform a temperature tower or small test print when changing printers or nozzles to determine the optimal print temperature and cooling settings. If stringing or poor layer adhesion occurs, reduce nozzle temperature slightly or increase cooling as appropriate for your printer and model design.
