What can you expect?
Prusament rPLA Natural Pigments is our in-house made PLA filament with ±0.03mm manufacturing tolerance and natural pigments. The filament is made of recycled PLA from industrial waste. No artificial pigments are added; the coloring of this Prusament comes from processed organic waste, resulting in a unique shade for every batch. You can inspect the parameters of every spool we made at prusament.com. Check the sample spool!
Manufactured In-House By Josef Prusa
We were not satisfied with the quality of filaments on the market. So we decided to make our own! Prusa Research is the only 3D printer manufacturer with its own filament production.
Smart spool design to save material
We are constantly improving our filament spools. The latest iteration features a core from recycled cardboard and lightweight sides from recycled polycarbonate.
± 0.03 mm Manufacturing Guaranteed Precision
We believe the industry standard of 0.05 mm isn’t sufficient for perfect 3D printing. Instead, we guarantee ±0.03mm precision.
High Quality You Can Check Yourself
With every spool, you have the unique option to inspect its manufacturing parameters yourself. Scan a QR code on the spool to see all details online (check the sample spool).
For our recycled filaments, we had our carbon footprint calculated. You can find more about our sustainability activities in our sustainability report.

About rPLA
Prusament rPLA Natural Pigments is our in-house made PLA filament with ±0.03mm manufacturing tolerance and natural pigments. The filament is made of recycled PLA from industrial waste. No artificial pigment is added, the coloring of this Prusament comes from processed organic waste, such as red algae. The organic additives create a noticeable scent during printing.
The Prusament rPLA Natural Pigments has mechanical properties similar to regular PLA, but it is slightly more brittle and hygroscopic. In general, PLA is used for various aesthetic models, prototypes, and other visual parts. With Prusament rPLA Natural Pigments, these parts can be made with significantly lower ecological impact. Last but not least, the natural pigments give rPLA pleasant subtle colors, perfectly suitable for various home decor and other aesthetic purposes.
