The popularity of 3D printing has continued to rise substantially in recent years, allowing professionals, amateurs, hobbyists and everyone in between the opportunity to create complex designs that previously would have been much more difficult to make. From toys to jewelry to phone accessories and beyond, the use of 3D printing in crafts has exploded. With so many budget-friendly 3D printers, some under $200, it’s now a more accessible hobby than ever before.
If you want to create a huge project or print the same thing over and over, you need a lot of filament. Elegoo’s bulk discount makes each roll cost just $11, a fantastic bargain. It’s only black PLA, but it’s good enough if you’re postprocessing it anyway.
Ten rolls of filament for $110 is amazing, and if you can afford the initial outlay, you’ll save yourself a bunch of money.
Flashforge is one of the most recognizable names in the world of 3D printing, and it’s currently got a decent offer up at Amazon. A 1KG spool of Flashforge ABS Pro filament in black is down to $17, the lowest price we’ve seen from the company. It’s a limited-time deal, so be aware that it’s set to end soon.
A handy 2-kilogram pack of white printer filament from Creality is one worth considering, especially when you take into account that it’s only about $1 away from its lowest-ever price. This limited-time deal at Amazon is set to expire in the coming days, so jump on it if you’re interested.
More experienced printers might want to grab this spool of Overture PETG filament while it’s marked down to $19 at Amazon. It’s one of our favorite filaments on the market right now, and while it’s a little harder to work with than PLA filaments, it offers the heat resistance of ABS filaments without toxic fumes. It’s compatible with most FDM printers, as long as the nozzle can get hot enough.
This flexible filament gets high marks for being bouncy, making it possible to create wearable items without the danger of cracking. Read more about it in this review. Right now it’s $8 off at Amazon.
