RS PRO 1.75 mm Grey PLA 3D Printer Filament 1 kg Spool FDM, Model 174-0005

The RS PRO 174-0005 3D Printer Filament is a premium quality 1.75 mm grey polylactic acid (PLA) filament engineered for precise, high-performance fused deposition modelling (FDM) 3D printing. This filament is designed for use in professional, research, laboratory, and industrial prototyping applications where material consistency and high impact resistance are critical.

Supplied in a 1 kg spool, this filament offers sufficient volume for extended print runs, supporting the production of multiple components or large structures without frequent changeovers. Its 1.75 mm diameter ensures compatibility with the majority of commercial and laboratory 3D printers, making it a practical choice for environments with diverse equipment. The filament's grey colour imparts a clean, semi-matte finish to printed objects, ideal for professional presentations, architectural models, and functional prototypes.

Engineered for speed and reliability, PLA-X3 within this filament permits fast printing rates exceeding 120 mm/s, significantly reducing prototyping time without sacrificing print accuracy or surface detail. The filament’s high impact resistance allows the creation of tough, hardwearing prints that perform well in material testing, fit checks, and pre-manufacture validation. Since this PLA is formulated from renewable resources, it is also an environmentally responsible option for research and commercial use.

The 174-0005 filament is not locked to any specific printer model, ensuring broad compatibility across both desktop and industrial FDM 3D printers. With a maximum recommended printing temperature of 230°C, the filament maintains thermal stability, supports strong layer adhesion, and is able to tolerate post-processing techniques such as annealing for further increasing thermal resistance beyond 95°C.

Typical industrial, laboratory, and educational applications include prototyping mechanical parts, making laboratory test fixtures, industrial component visualization, architectural model fabrication, and custom tooling. Its impact resistance is also well suited for producing jigs, fixtures, and functional prototypes where toughness is important.

Polylactic acid (PLA) filament designed for use with standard FDM 3D printers. 1.75 mm filament diameter provides smooth, consistent extrusion. Grey colour allows for semi-matte, professional-looking printed objects. Packaged as a 1 kg spool, suitable for extended print jobs in laboratories and workshops.

Compatible with all 3D printers supporting 1.75 mm PLA filament, not machine specific. Supports rapid print speeds greater than 120 mm/s for efficient prototyping and production. High impact resistance ensures durable prototypes and functional parts.

Maximum recommended printing temperature of 230°C, suitable for high strength and stable layers. Explore more laboratory 3D printing materials or browse additional RS PRO 3D printer consumables for professional results on EnvMart.
