3D Printer Filament

Achieve superior results in your 3D printing project using our high quality 3D printer filaments as materials. At Winkle we create our own 3D printer filaments in Spain with the latest technology and a management based on quality control.

3D printer filaments are available in two sizes:

  • 1.75mm coils: this is the most common thickness.
  • 2.85mm coils: is often used in industrial 3D printers and to provide greater resistance to 3D printing.

3D printing filaments

3D printing is becoming a revolution and filament is its most powerful weapon.

Filament is used as a material for modeling models in 3D printing. Essentially, filaments for 3D printing are plastic yarns in rolls. The 3D printer melts these yarns using chemical and physical processes.

These filaments are thermoplastic, which means that they change their state when exposed to heat, from a solid to a liquid or viscous consistency.

Thread for 3D printer

Winkle 3D printer filaments are manufactured in Spain following the highest quality standards. ➡︎ All our filaments come packaged in a heat-sealed doypack with a silica bag inside to protect them from moisture. The doypack also has a zip closure so you can store your filaments once opened.

In 3D printing, a multitude of materials can be used. To know the best filament or thread for your 3D printer, it is essential to understand the properties and applications of the different types of filaments or threads for 3D printing.

Which filament to choose for my 3D printer?

The choice of the type of filament in 3D printing is a crucial decision that will directly impact the quality and functionality of your prints.

It is very important to know the properties of each filament or yarn in order to choose the one that best suits us according to the type of application we have in mind.

At Winkle we have a team of experts who can help you better understand which type of 3D printing filament is best suited to your specific needs. ➡︎No feel free to contact us for personalized advice.

What is the strongest 3D printer filament?

The strength of the models we 3D print depends on many things: such as what material we use, how the part is designed, how we print it and the orientation of each part.

We must distinguish between two types of resistance, which are the main ones:

  • Mechanical resistance: in this case, we would choose materials such as ABS, ASA, PETG Carbon Fiber, Polypropylene, and our innovative PLA Tough which is even more mechanically resistant than other more technical materials.
  • Thermal resistance: this is the temperature that the material withstands before it starts to deform. For this, we would choose PLA 850, PLA 870, Polypropylene, ABS, and ASA.

The best filaments for 3D printers

Everything will depend on the applications for each 3D filament.
Now, to know which is the best filament, it is essential to know the properties and applications of the different types of filaments for 3D printing.

PLA filament

It is perfect for beginners, since it is easy to use for printing and it is not usually modified.

It is an ideal material for the production of non-functional parts, whether models and prototypes.

ABS filament

It is robust, resistant and durable, which means that it resists very well to high temperatures and can be perforated. It is preferably used for industrial applications.

PETG Filament

PETG is a combination of the best characteristics of PLA and ASA filaments. It is strong, elastic, durable, and has good resistance to high temperatures and UV rays.

TPE/TPU filaments

Also known as flexible filaments because it has high elasticity, abrasion resistance, and durability and does not shrink upon cooling. It is ideal for making phone cases, seals, and other objects that require bending, stretching, or compressing. Perfect combination of strength and flexibility, very suitable for shock absorption.
