Printing big? We got big spools! :-D
5kg rPLA pro 3D printing filament, 1.75 mm (±0.05 mm tolerance).
The same high quality rPLA pro as our 1kg and 250g spools, but on 5kg spools instead.
IMPORTANT: Contact us to check what colours we have in stock before you order; these spools are typically made to order. If you don't check first, you may not get the colour you want, or there may be a lead time.
NOTE: The price includes a $10 spool deposit. The $10 will be refunded when the empty spool is returned. We don't want these spools to end up in a landfill - they can and should be re-used for many years to come.
Made in New Zealand. The plastic spool is also made right here in Auckland, New Zealand. The approximate dimensions of the spool are: diameter 250mm, length 192mm, core diameter 104mm, and inner diameter of hole 97mm.
Recommended settings: Nozzle: 210-220°C. Bed: 50-60°C.
Price is in New Zealand Dollars (NZD) and includes 15 % GST (Goods and Services Tax).
P.S. We can supply spools with up to 20kg of filament, just contact us.

Because this filament is made from 100 % recycled plastics, the colour and properties can vary slightly from batch to batch. The filament diameter is controlled twice - both in the extruding process and in the re-spooling process. We are also doing extensive test printing and mechanical testing to ensure this recycled plastic filament is as good as the virgin material.
However, if this filament doesn't work well in your printer, let us know and we will refund you, no matter how little is left on your spool.
>> Recycled plastic FAQ <<<
Why is the recycled PLA filament more expensive than the regular PLA filament?
Recycling of plastic is very labour intensive. The material has to be sourced, picked up, sorted, cleaned, shredded, and remelted. Products made from virgin material tend not to include these "end of life costs." However, closing the loop and minimizing our use of resources is important for a future on this planet, so we hope you are OK with paying a bit more for this recycled filament.
Can I send my discarded 3D prints back for recycling? How about the spools, do you take those backs as well?
Yes, absolutely! We currently recycle prints made from KiwiFil PLA pro, KiwiFil rPLA pro and KiwiFil PETG. It is very important that PLA and PETG is separated and labelled. You can find the detailed sorting instructions here: https://www.kiwifil.shop/pages/recycling
We take back all the KiwiFil packaging for re-use: boxes, spools, bags, desiccant packages, instruction cards, and any other packing material. The packing material will be re-used for new products, or recycled if the condition doesn't allow for re-use. We also happily take empty 1 kg plastic and fibreboard/cardboard spools from other brands for re-use.
