Question 1

What filament diameter does Forgely offer?

Accepted Answer

Forgely manufactures 1.75mm PLA filament — the industry standard compatible with Bambu Lab, Prusa, Creality, Voron, and virtually all open-material FDM 3D printers.

Question 2

What print temperature should I use for Forgely PLA?

Accepted Answer

We recommend 190–230°C nozzle temperature and a 60°C heated bed. Start at 210°C and tune ±10°C based on your printer. For detailed slicer settings, see our Print Settings guide at www.forgely3d.com/print-settings.

Question 3

Do you offer eco-friendly refill spools?

Accepted Answer

Yes — select colors are available as refill spools (no cardboard spool) at $1 less per kilogram. It reduces packaging waste and saves money for high-volume printers.

Question 4

How should I store PLA filament to keep it fresh?

Accepted Answer

Store in a cool, dry place with the included desiccant. PLA absorbs moisture from humid air, which can cause stringing, bubbling, and poor layer adhesion. If moisture absorption is suspected, dry at 45°C for 4–6 hours before printing.

Question 5

Do you have a color chart to visualize filament colors?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Browse all available colors with photos, finishes (standard/translucent), and pricing in the product grid above. For printed color samples, visit our Print Settings page or contact us for sample requests.

Question 6

What is the difference between standard and translucent PLA?

Accepted Answer

Standard PLA is opaque with solid, vibrant color. Translucent PLA allows light to pass through, creating a glass-like effect ideal for lithophanes, light diffusers, and decorative prints. Both share the same ±0.02mm tolerance and print settings.
