3D printer filament spool dimensions


3D Printer Filament - Spool Comparison Guide

3D printer filament spools come in many different styles and sizes. Most 3D printers will accept spools that fall within a set of industry accepted standards. Our spools are designed to fit most 3D printers that accept a standard spool size.

Why You May Need a Larger 3D Printer Filament Spool

Larger filament spools allow for continuous 3D printing without having to change out the spool and interrupt prints. A bigger spool is ideal for a larger build that required more 3D printer filament. This may even be ideal for smaller prints if you are tired of having to change out spools so often.

MakeShaper Spools for 3D Printing

We have small 220g filament spools and large filament spools that contain 5kg all the way up to 25kg depending on the material and diameter. Browse our products online or reach out to us today if you are unsure which filament spool would be right for your 3D printer application.

3D printer filament spool sizes

Whilst filament spool dimensions appear to be converging on a standard, there is still not complete uniformity so please take a look at the below table to ensure that the filament brand will work with your 3D printer.

 

We often get contacted by people looking to find filament that can be used with their 3D printer, the common issues are filament diameter and spool size. So as a result we have started to put together a list of different manufacturers filament specifications. Filament print settings are usually listed on a filaments product listing page so we are not going to repeat those here.
