ColorFabb Filament Review: Introduction<\/h2>\n

ColorFabb is a high quality filament producer from the Netherlands. The company was launched in 2012 when the filament market at the time was dominated by cheap filament companies. <\/span><\/p>\n

The founders of ColorFabb recognized the need for high-end, premium quality filament in the filament market, and created ColorFabb to meet the demand. They produce all of their filaments in house on six production lines. <\/span><\/p>\n

They also package, store and ship their filaments from their factory and warehouse. ColorFabb\u2019s operations are state-of-the-art and all of their filaments are high quality with very little variance in diameter. <\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, as a producer of premium quality filaments, ColorFabb filaments are more expensive than other filament brands. You can expect to pay double or triple what you would pay for filaments from other popular filaments.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"ColorFabb<\/span><\/p>\n

Why is ColorFabb popular?<\/h3>\n

ColorFabb has massive customer loyalty. Once customers find it they almost always come back for more. <\/span><\/p>\n

ColorFabb has achieved this level of popularity because ColorFabb filaments are so high quality that printing with them is a dream. Paying a few extra dollars for a spool is well worth it when it saves time and energy that would otherwise be spent unclogging your extruder or finding printer settings. <\/span><\/p>\n

A lot of serious ColorFabb customers order higher volumes of their filaments for wholesale prices that reduce the individual spool. <\/span><\/p>\n

For instance, ColorFabb from offers a customizable 16 pack of their filament spools. These can be shipped to the US in under a week. <\/span><\/p>\n

This brings the entire cost of each of these fantastic spools down by 25% or more.<\/span><\/p>\n

For serious 3D printer enthusiasts, ColorFabb is one of the best filament brands available. While not necessarily great for large prints given the steeper price, ColorFabb is easily one of the best filament brands to print with and everyone should try it at least once.<\/span><\/p>\n

ColorFabb Filament Review: Quality and Color Range<\/span><\/h2>\n

As a premium filament producer and distributor, ColorFabb filaments are top of the line. <\/span><\/p>\n

Appropriately, the price is not as cheap as other brands, but the quality that you get for spending a little bit extra is undoubtedly worth it. <\/span><\/p>\n

Color On Demand<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"ColorFabb<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Color<\/p>\n

ColorFabb offers all of the standard primary colors and different shades of many colors, such as 3 shades of red, 2 shades of orange, 4 shades of green, and several shades of blue, purple, yellow, and brown. <\/span><\/p>\n

ColorFabb offers a similarly impressive range of colors for other specialty filaments such as nGen and ColorFabb XT. <\/span><\/p>\n

For other types of specialty filaments such as wood and metal filled filaments, ColorFabb offers one of the best ranges of colors and tones available today. From cork, bamboo, and regular wood filament to bronze, brass, copper, and gold, ColorFabb easily blows the competition out of the water in terms of the number of different types of wood and metal filaments available.<\/span><\/p>\n

But perhaps the most interesting thing that ColorFabb offers is a service called Color On Demand. With this service, you can order any color filament you want.<\/p>\n

Prints: Strength and Texture<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"ColorFabb<\/span><\/p>\n

Prints using ColorFabb filament are always excellent. There are almost no problems except for some occasional clogs depending on how fast you are printing. <\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes when printing at very high speed filament can become compressed inside the extruder and block the flow of filament through your machine. This only happens rarely with ColorFabb but it’s worth considering as a possible cause for any blockages you might experience if you’re printing fast and at high temperatures. <\/span><\/p>\n

The prints tend to have a matte finish with not so much shine as other filaments. But the overall texture is very nice and pleasing to the touch. The prints are also fairly strong. <\/span><\/p>\n

ColorFabb mixes in PHA with their PLA, which improves the strength and durability of the filament.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Materials<\/span><\/h2>\n

ColorFabb produces some of the highest quality filament available on the market today. All of its filaments have exceptional quality standards and print extremely well. <\/span><\/p>\n

They are also consistent from one spool to the next so you don’t have to worry about whether or not the next spool you use will be a dud. The diameter is in general fantastic and there are very few reports of any clogging with any filament. <\/span><\/p>\n

When there is clogging, it’s usually user error and not a result of problems with the filament.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s a run-down of the filaments ColorFabb\u00a0offers:<\/span><\/p>\n
