Prusament PLA Noctua Brown 1kg (NFC)

Co-developed with the quiet cooling experts at Noctua, Prusament PLA Noctua Brown/Beige offers an exact match to their signature color palette. It allows you to create custom PC accessories that blend perfectly with existing hardware, or to visually complement Noctua fans in various other applications outside the PC space. Thanks to its subtle color and unique shade, it is also great for natural-looking home decor and architectural models.

When we started the Printables Brands initiative, we wanted to bridge the gap between the physical products you meet every day and the 3D printer on your desk. With this collaboration, we took that philosophy one step further. The result is something never seen before: A filament manufacturer teaming up with a well-known brand to make a material of exact color available for everyone, and easy to recognize. And promoted by both sides.

About Prusament PLA

PLA, in general, is the easiest material to print and the first choice of most users, thanks to its good looks. It is inexpensive and suitable for beginners and advanced users alike. It is capable of printing both large and detailed models, figures, and quick prototypes that don’t require increased mechanical, chemical, or temperature resistance.

Large color palette

The best-looking models from FFF 3D printers are usually made from PLA. The material has a matte to satin surface, which is valued among most users as it hides imperfections and looks more professional. We offer a large palette of both vivid and subtle colors of Prusament PLA, some of which may be a perfect fit for the Noctua colors.

Print in all sizes

The Prusament PLA has low shrinkage, which makes it possible to print large objects with little to no warping. This is especially useful for printing large models, such as parts of computer cases, pieces of furniture, and other components fitting Noctua’s fans.

Furthermore, the low melting temperature in combination with fast cooling enables easy printing of detailed parts, bridges, and overhangs.

Noctua offers a wide range of official models at Printables. From fan ducts, spacers and mounting adaptors to high-efficiency fan grills, custom case side panels and Noctua’s signature airflow amplifier: Printing these official fan accessories in Noctua Brown and Noctua Beige Prusament is a perfect match!

Printing Setup

Basic Attributes

New spools equipped with OpenPrintTag

Prusament filaments are wound on a redesigned spool that introduces several improvements for an even better printing experience, starting in October 2025. The new spool features a simple locking mechanism that makes disassembly quick and easy, allowing effortless refills. It also stays secure during filament drying, even at higher temperatures. And with its slimmer dimensions, the spool ensures compatibility with a wide range of multi-color and multi-material printing systems.

Every new Prusament spool now comes with a fully rewritable NFC tag powered by the OpenPrintTag standard. It’s designed to work across brands and ecosystems. It is free to use, free to extend, and open for anyone to build upon. Most importantly, it works entirely offline. All essential data is stored directly on the tag. Your printer can recognize the spool instantly, with no dependence on cloud services or vendor lock-ins. The OpenPrintTag attached to your Prusament spool contains essential data about the material and can be read with the Prusa mobile app.

Beginners tips & tricks

Popular among both beginners and advanced users

PLA is the easiest-to-print filament we make. It’s reliable and it doesn’t require any print preparations or difficult post-processing methods. If you’re new to 3D printing, it’s best to start with PLA before using other materials.

Sanding

When post-processing PLA, it’s better to use wet sanding. Without water you’ll quickly start heating the plastic by friction, it will melt locally and deform. Also, without water, the sanding material would clog easily.

Gluing

PLA can be glued with many types of glue. We recommend using superglue for most of the parts. Certain PLA filaments may be also glued using acetone, however, it strongly depends on the various additives and colors used.

Notes

This PLA is made in-house by Prusa Research and colored to match Noctua brand components.

1.75 mm filament is manufactured with precision of ± 0.02 mm (±0.03 for blends)

Before printing, make sure the surface of the heatbed is clean as described in the 3D Printing Handbook.
