Filament bundles for CTE 2026-2027 

The Fabreeko Student Filament Bundles make it easy to choose the right materials for every stage of a student's 3D printing journey. Each tier includes three carefully selected 1 kg spools designed to match the student's experience level, from beginner-friendly PLA materials to functional and advanced engineering filaments. The goal is to help students learn not just how to print, but how to choose the right material for each application.

 Novice — For Creators 

Built for students who are new to 3D printing and need reliable, easy-to-print materials while learning the fundamentals.

PLA Basic
A dependable everyday material that is easy to print and ideal for learning CAD, slicing, supports, infill, and basic prototyping.

PLA Matte
Offers the same beginner-friendly experience as standard PLA with a softer, low-gloss finish that works especially well for models, presentations, and design-focused projects.

PLA Silk
Adds a glossy, eye-catching finish that helps students explore how material choice can affect the appearance of a finished part.

Printer Requirements:
Works with nearly any standard FDM 3D printer. No enclosure or hardened nozzle is required. A standard brass nozzle and typical PLA printing temperatures are suitable.

 Intermediate — For Builders

Designed for students who understand the basics and are ready to experiment with materials that introduce strength, flexibility, durability, and more demanding print settings.

PLA-CF
Carbon-fiber reinforced PLA provides increased stiffness, a clean matte appearance, and excellent dimensional stability. It introduces students to reinforced materials while remaining relatively easy to print.

PETG
A durable and versatile material with greater toughness and temperature resistance than PLA. Ideal for brackets, fixtures, functional prototypes, and parts that need to withstand everyday use.

TPU 85A
A flexible material used for parts such as grips, bumpers, feet, protective components, and other projects where elasticity and impact resistance are important.

Printer Requirements:
A printer with a hardened or wear-resistant nozzle is recommended for PLA-CF Enclosed printers are recomended. PETG can be printed on most standard printers. TPU 85A works best with a well-controlled filament path and is generally easier to print on direct-drive systems. An enclosure is not normally required for this tier.

 Advanced — For Engineering

Created for advanced students who are ready to select materials based on real engineering requirements such as strength, temperature resistance, environmental exposure, stiffness, and dimensional stability.

ASA-CF
A carbon-fiber reinforced engineering material that combines stiffness and dimensional stability with ASA's resistance to heat, weather, and UV exposure. Well suited for outdoor components, fixtures, housings, and functional parts.

ABS
A proven engineering plastic with excellent toughness and improved heat resistance compared with basic materials such as PLA. It is commonly used for functional prototypes, mechanical components, enclosures, and parts that need to withstand higher temperatures.

PET-CF (0.5KG)
Carbon-fiber reinforced PET provides excellent stiffness, dimensional stability, and strength for demanding functional applications. It is ideal for students exploring engineering-grade materials and precision mechanical parts.
