So excited about this next chapter in 3DQF and our spool design! All I can say at the moment is We've taken onboard your feedback and are actively addressing your concerns!

I can't tell you the herculean challenge needed for these to be manufactured in the UK at a price point that doesn't affect our retail price !

And all whilst keeping the raw material manufactured in the Northwest of England!

Proudly made in the UK !

Good morning, fellow printers!

I trust you are all happily munching through your plastic spaghetti.

As some of you may already know, the amazing, and I really do mean amazing, SMRRF Show is coming up on 7–8 March.

This event brings together makers and creators from across the world, with major brands on display, exciting new releases, and a huge range of inspiring projects. If you are interested in anything related to 3D printing, CNC, creative builds, or just genuinely cool and interesting tech from within the additive manufacturing space, this is absolutely the place to be.

The show is hosted once again at Manchester Metropolitan University, with the fantastic MMU team opening their doors to the community. With their rich background in digital manufacturing and the incredible work happening at PrintCity, it is hard to imagine a better venue. We may be slightly biased, of course, as it is nice and local for us.

So what are you waiting for?
Come along, enjoy a brilliant day out, stop by our stand, and support the fantastic work being done by the Sanjay Mortimer Foundation to inspire the next generation of makers and engineers.

We hope to see you there and see if you can be the fastest on our Forklift Challenge!

Happy New year to all you lovely 3D printing people !
Hope you all had a merry Christmas and plenty of food and family time ! We certainly embraced how Christmas and the new year fell this year with the factory pretty much closed for two weeks l ! Some much needed down time for our small but growing team of dedicated spaghetti makers!

I had to share this as I love doing this filament, and this never gets boring seeing wood chucker go down so smoothly !

Adding this to our big 4.6kg ABS spools for a custom order. How much wood can a wood chucker Chuck!

13/11/2025

4.6 kg of incredible woodchucker winding! A total of 2885 revolutions, and every single one has to be perfectly inline to produce a roll like this. I can't tell you how important every single production line setting needs to be to get a perfect wind like this.

The smallest upsets causes issues on the spool, even +- 0.5mm on the transverse sweep will stop this from looking like this !

On point production team well done !

Good afternoon, fellow printers!

It’s been a hot minute since our last update, that’s for sure! Apologies for the radio silence; we’ve been busy working on a lot of new things to share with you, which is why we haven’t had much time to post recently.

We’ve added plenty of new products to the website, and several have already sold out before we even had the chance to tell you they were live.

Refills
We’ve started adding some of our PLA colours to our refill spools, including White, Black, Grey, and next week I believeve Pastel Purple. These are all compatible with a certain brand starting with a “B” which is why we call them Panda Food. We’ll also be sharing a link to MakersWorld for all the compatible spool options.

PETG Refills
These have been incredibly popular. Our launch offer ends on Sunday at midnight, so if you want some very affordable PETG refills, now is the time to grab them at just £13.99 each, with free shipping when you order two or more.

New Materials
We’ve added Cork-Filled PLA, also known as Wine Stopper, to the range. This uses a European-manufactured polymer from the same producer as our Woodchucker filament. We’ll be posting more about this soon along with some printed examples.

https://www.3dqf.co.uk/product-page/wine-stopper-1-75mm-cork-filled-pla-uk-made-3d-printer-filament

Large Spools
Many of our materials including ABS, ASA, PETG, and PLA are now available on 4+ kg spools. These are currently offered in the most popular colours that everyone uses regularly.

ASA Refills
These are proving to be a huge success, with black selling out in just one week. This low-temperature ASA prints beautifully at 230°C, giving less shrinkage and better bed adhesion, which can often be a challenge with ABS and ASA. We first tested and developed this material a long time ago, and it remains a pleasure to print with. Black refills will be back in stock next week. Unfortunately, you will need an enclosed printer to print ASA, even with this grade, I am sorry to say.

More updates to follow :-).

Good afternoon, fellow printers!

Got to love that new toy day feeling! I backed this printer on Kickstarter what feels like ages ago though, in fairness, it’s probably only been about five months.

The new Eryone X400 is a bit of a beast! With a build volume of 400 × 400 × 400 mm and a weight of around 65 kg, it certainly has some bulk! I bought it to give us the capacity for larger prints and an actively heated enclosure, great for ABS and ASA, but also for maintaining stability during the colder months in the factory. Once it’s set up, she’ll be placed in the retail area for everyone’s viewing pleasure!

Now it’s time to fit a large 4kg spool and find all the big prints and put her to work!

17/08/2025

Good evening fellow Printer's ! It's feeling hot hot hot 🥵 in the factory !

By the looks of the forecast it looks like it may continue for next week too !

So after a drought of DeFAULT yellow, I can happily say a fresh batch of colouring arrived from our local colouring manufacturer and was promptly loaded into the extruder in the afternoon!

So DeFAULT yellow PETG is back on the website just as Nikita sells out 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️, not to worry though Nikita is due for production Monday morning!

We will keep the combo offer on the website until the end of August so maximum savings, a great way to get either colour at a reduced price or two of the same colour !

14/08/2025

The first half a ton batch of ASA is in the building!

Roll on the 26th of August, our production window opens and we can start cooking !

Large 4.1kg spools and Refill options at first then our new MK20 spool will follow after. Basic range of colours to start with but we will also be adding the power tool range of colours to ASA plus many more !

We want to thank you for the support of us and UK manufacturing as a whole! Your continued support allows us to grow and offer more material, colours and options. Working with retail customers, print farms large and small, Retailers, industrial customers and education would not have all been possible without the support of our UK retail customer base.

To all of you thank you, thank you for the continued support and time allowing us time to develop and making room for a UK option in the 3D filament manufacturing world !

12/08/2025

3DQF Refills ! Starting on PETG which will hit the website later this week at an introductory 3DQF price !

We will also expand this to PLA and ASA, yes that's correct ASA is on the way ! Refill and big spools first as we wait for our new spool :-).

Made to work with the popular Panda food Masterspools ! These now give you a different options away from our card spool ........ Did you know we are also changing our spool ! MK20 is almost complete but we will share more on this over the next couple weeks :-).
