ReFuel™ - Recycled filament from out-of-spec materials
Colors Vary - No Color Selection - AS-IS
Please Read:
The ReFuel that we manufacture today is on a clear, AMS-compatible spool that is different than our normal spool stock. We were able to save these spools from going to the landfill so, while it is yet one more spool design variation, it is helping to keep our landfills just a little bit less full.
This is the same material as our regular PLA Product Lines. We've taken our PLA scraps and out of spec material (spools that were rejected during production due to over or under diameter readings), transition material and cut off waste and cut it into pellets that we can use to make filament!
It works great, prints great, and is otherwise almost equal to our normal PLA lineup. We follow the same quality guidelines with a minimum target of ±0.05mm and a best target of ±0.02mm tolerances. In fact, being run through a 2nd time, it often has better tolerances than the first run material. We're just not printing the nice labels and we're putting them in a plain brown box to save money because we just sell it to recover the scrap material. We're basically making filament out of our own Industrial scrap to keep it out of the landfills and to provide a very usable material, especially for prototyping.
Color: Color will vary on this product. It is made of just about every color we make and the darker colors seem to take charge in the process. The first batch is a bit of a dark purple, but depending on what we have reground, it could come in any shade of color in the future. Since we mix ALL colors to make ReFuel, Colors will be mostly darker earth tones with black, brown and red shades, but can vary from grayish-white to nearly black. No color selection is available. There are none that are equal to our standard colors. Most likely, the items you receive in a single order will be all about the same shade and color as they will have been made at the same time. (They are also boxed in plain brown boxes with no windows, so we can't even tell what color we pick when we ship them.)
Packaging: ReFuel comes vacuum-sealed with desiccant in a plain brown box with minimal labeling.
Size: To keep this product simple, we only offer it only in 1.75mm 1kg and 4kg spools.
Compatibility: The Standard and Tough Pro PLA+ versions should work in any printer that uses 1.75mm filament.
Our Tough Pro PLA+ is the best PLA product available for printing your projects.

Standard PLA+ combines standard materials with our excellent quality standards providing you with the best regular PLA available anywhere.

Additional Filament Information
Quality:
All 3D-Fuel ReFuel 3D printer filament is manufactured in Fargo, ND. We have complete control over the manufacturing process and are able to ensure consistent quality for every spool.
Learn more about 3D-Fuel filament quality.
Diameter Tolerance:
Variable diameter can cause big problems in your 3D printer. We use a multi-axis laser measurement system to control our filament diameter and ovality in real time during production. Every spool has the diameter and ovality measurements listed right on the box.
Packing Information:
A full 1kg (2.2 lbs) or 4kg (8.8 lbs) of Re-Fuel Pro PLA+ plastic filament arrives on an easy-to-use plastic reel and is vacuum sealed with a desiccant packet to keep out any moisture.
Test Printing:
The 3D-Fuel test lab features multiple brands of 3D printers including Bambu Lab, Creality3D, Prusa, Raise3D, LulzBot, FlashForge, and more. We 3D print what we manufacture to ensure that our filament provides the absolute best quality possible.
