Fillamentum PLA Extrafill – Various Colours

For standard printers that are not high-speed systems, Fillamentum recommends a nozzle temperature of 190–210°C. The recommended build plate temperature is 0–55°C, and the official guide specifies 100% part cooling.

Yes. Fillamentum's current product information includes separate settings for high-speed systems, with values also depending on the desired matt or glossy finish. On these machines, use the manufacturer's current profiles and recommendations rather than automatically applying standard-speed settings.

Stringing is one of the issues users discuss specifically for PLA Extrafill on Reddit, especially when setting up a new spool. A practical approach is to run temperature and retraction tests within the settings permitted for the specific 3D printer, while also checking the filament's condition. Fillamentum explicitly notes that moisture can reduce the quality of finished models.

Some PLA Extrafill users report unstable adhesion or lifting on larger parts in forums, but these reports should not be treated as technical specifications. Fillamentum lists PEI, glass/mirror, Kapton and Blue Tape as suitable surfaces and permits Magigoo, 3Dlac or PVA adhesive. Correct first-layer calibration and a clean build plate remain essential.

Not every newly opened spool needs to be dried automatically, but correct storage matters. Fillamentum warns that filaments can absorb moisture after prolonged storage outside their protective packaging and recommends controlled drying when there are signs of moisture absorption.

The main difference is the amount of filament on the spool. PLA Extrafill's properties are defined by the product range; check the selected variant for its exact colour and net quantity. Fillamentum offers 750 g variants and certain colours in 1 kg packs. For example, the official Orange Orange 1 kg page specifies 1000 g of filament in a 1.75 mm diameter variant.
