Best selling 3D printer filaments from Ultimaker
On this page you'll find a ranking of the best Ultimaker products in this category. To give you a quick overview, we've already ranked the most important information about the products for you.
1. Ultimaker Filament
The Ultimaker PLA filament is made from biodegradable raw materials. Additionally, the material, specifically developed for Ultimaker devices, can be printed easily and reliably. Alongside the launch of the filament, Ultimaker released a new version of Cura, which provides custom material profiles for various requirements. The Ultimaker PLA can also be processed effortlessly by other FDM printers. Furthermore, the PLA filament works perfectly with the Ultimaker PVA material. PVA is a water-soluble support material that can be completely removed after printing in a water bath. This combination allows you to design and print your 3D model without geometric limitations.
2. Ultimaker 3 Breakaway
Ultimaker Breakaway is a support material for 3D printing using the multi-layer extrusion method. Breakaway supports can be quickly removed and do not require further processing. They provide a smooth surface finish to your 3D print. Breakaway is designed for an optimal 3D printing experience and ensures good adhesion to most materials in the Ultimaker range, including ABS, Nylon, PLA, CPE, and CPE+.
It offers good adhesion to a variety of materials, is stable yet sufficiently soft and malleable to be removed from the model. Additionally, it has a longer shelf life and is less susceptible to moisture compared to water-soluble support materials.
3. Ultimaker Pla
The Ultimaker PLA filament is made from biodegradable raw materials. Additionally, the material, specifically developed for Ultimaker devices, is easy and reliable to print. Ultimaker released a new version of Cura simultaneously with the launch of the filament, which provides custom material profiles for various requirements. The Ultimaker PLA can also be easily processed by other FDM printers. Furthermore, the PLA filament works perfectly with Ultimaker PVA material. PVA is a water-soluble support material that can be completely removed after printing in a water bath. This combination allows you to design and print your 3D model without geometric limitations.
4. Ultimaker cleaning filament
The Ultimaker 3 Cleaning Filament eliminates clogs and keeps the print cores in optimal condition. This material, specifically designed for cleaning the hotend of your 3D printer, is manually inserted into the hotend to remove burnt material residues. The length of the filament strand is ideally suited for a cleaning process. The Ultimaker Cleaning Filament is particularly effective when used with the BB Printcore of your Ultimaker 3: Pull the still warm filament from the hotend to remove large pieces of carbonized PVA material. Pull the cold filament (around 90°C) from the hotend to eliminate fine deposits inside the nozzle.
Processing note: This filament is manually inserted into the hotend by hand. You may need a small flat pliers for gripping.
5. Ultimaker PETG - Red Translucent - 2.85mm
Ultimaker PETG Red Translucent is a high-quality 3D printing material specifically designed for industrial use. This filament combines the printability of PLA with the robust properties required for technical applications. It is available in a translucent red variant that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also allows for a wide range of practical applications. Ultimaker PETG is characterized by its toughness, chemical resistance, and temperature resistance, making it ideal for producing prototypes, tools, and industrial parts. The easy handling and excellent layer adhesion ensure that both beginners and experienced users can quickly achieve precise results. With NFC recognition and specific print profiles, the 3D printing process is further optimized, enabling users to fully leverage the advantages of this versatile material.
- High toughness and chemical resistance
- Excellent adhesion and reliable layer bonding
- Compatible with PVA and Breakaway materials
- NFC recognition for optimized print profiles
- Versatile for technical applications and prototypes.
6. Ultimaker Filament (Polycarbonate)
With the Ultimaker PC (Polycarbonate) filament, strong and durable parts can be created that maintain their shape even at temperatures of 110 °C. The filament is particularly suitable for manufacturing tools, functional prototypes, and parts for small series production. The simultaneously released Cura version provides useful material profiles, allowing complex models to be printed easily and reliably.
7. Ultimaker Pva
The new Ultimaker PVA material is a water-soluble filament specifically designed as support material for the Ultimaker 3. PVA is used solely as support material, which completely disappears after the printing process once it has spent some time in a water bath. Consequently, the filament can only be used with dual extruder FDM printers. The great advantage of PVA is that a designer does not have to consider geometric limitations when creating a 3D model. The material works exceptionally well with Ultimaker PLA and Nylon filaments. In Cura, there are specific material profiles for these combinations. In our opinion, the Ultimaker 3 is currently the best option in desktop FDM printing for producing highly complex 3D models.
8. Ultimaker Tpu 95a
The original TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) filament from Ultimaker has been specifically designed for your Ultimaker 2, Ultimaker 2+, Ultimaker 2 Extended, Ultimaker 2 Extended +, and of course, for all Ultimaker Classic models. The tear-resistant TPU filament has a Shore hardness of 95 and is stretchable by 580%. This filament is particularly suitable for manufacturing projects that require the quality and properties of rubber and plastic. This semi-flexible and chemical-resistant filament features strong layer adhesion. Furthermore, it is easier and faster to print than conventional TPU filaments. Ultimaker has also released a new version of Cura alongside this filament, which provides Ultimaker material profiles for various requirements. Of course, you can also easily process Ultimaker PLA with other FDM printers.
9. Ultimaker PETG - Transparent - 2.85mm
Ultimaker PETG Transparent is a high-quality 3D printing material specifically designed for industrial use. With a diameter of 2.85 mm, this filament offers excellent printability and is ideal for a wide range of applications, from prototypes to functional parts. The transparent variant allows for the creation of clear prints that are both aesthetically pleasing and functional. Ultimaker PETG is characterized by its toughness, chemical resistance, and temperature resistance, making it an excellent choice for demanding projects. Its ease of handling and reliable adhesion ensure that both beginners and experienced users can quickly achieve impressive results. The NFC recognition and provided print profiles facilitate the entry into 3D printing with Ultimaker PETG, allowing users to fully leverage the benefits of this versatile material.
- High toughness and chemical resistance
- Excellent adhesion and reliable layer bonding
- Compatible with PVA and Breakaway materials
- Easy handling for beginners and experts
- Ideal for a variety of industrial applications.
10. Ultimaker Tough PLA Grey 2.85 mm 750 g
Ultimaker Tough PLA is a technical PLA (polylactic acid) material with toughness similar to ABS. It is ideally suited for printing functional prototypes and tools in larger formats—without the risk of warping or delamination. Ultimaker Tough PLA allows for the same safe and easy use as regular PLA.
Ultimaker Tough PLA filament is designed to be an easy-to-use technical plastic:
- Better machinability than PLA allows for more post-processing techniques
- Similar strength and higher stiffness compared to ABS
- No delamination or deformation for reliable printing of larger parts
- Compatible with PVA and Breakaway support materials for full geometric freedom
Create robust plastic parts. The impact resistance of Tough PLA is closer to that of ABS than regular PLA. This means that your 3D-printed parts can be used for more functional applications such as fixtures, manufacturing aids, and tools.
Optimized for large prints. When you need toughness for large models, Tough PLA is an easy-to-print and reliable material—ideal for 3D printing with the larger build volume of the Ultimaker S5.
Realize complex geometries. Designs with intricate curves, fine details, and overhangs can be easily printed with Tough PLA, especially in combination with Breakaway or water-soluble PVA support material.
