Why Choose Black Filament?

Black hides layer lines, blemishes and print imperfections better than any other colour, and it's the default choice for functional, mechanical and engineering parts.

  • Hides layer lines and minor print defects for a clean, finished look
  • The widest material range we stock, including every carbon-fibre and flame-retardant blend
  • Matches most electronics, tools and automotive interiors without any post-processing
  • Reads as "premium" and professional straight off the printer

Black Filament Across Every Material

From everyday desktop printing to demanding engineering jobs, black covers more of our range than any other colour:

Best Uses for Black Filament

Black filament is ideal for:

  • Enclosures, brackets and mechanical parts where looks and strength both matter
  • Automotive trim, RC parts and cosplay armour
  • Camera mounts, tool housings and workshop fixtures
  • Cases, remotes and accessories that need to blend in with electronics
  • Functional prototypes and end-use engineering parts

Choosing the Right Black Filament for Your Project

Before choosing a material, think about what the part needs to do:

  • Everyday or decorative prints: PLA Pro or PLA Matte
  • Stronger functional parts: PETG Pro or ABS Pro
  • Outdoor or UV-exposed parts: ASA Black
  • High-strength engineering parts: PA, PC or a carbon-fibre blend
  • Flexible or wearable parts: TPU 95A, STTPU or ShoeFlex

Frequently Asked Questions

What is black filament used for?

Black is the most versatile colour for functional parts, enclosures, automotive trim and any print where hiding layer lines matters. It's also our widest range for engineering and carbon-fibre blends.

Which materials come in black?

Almost everything: PLA Pro, PLA Matte, PLA Aero, PLA HT, PLA Starlight, ABS Pro, ABS Matte, ABS FR, PETG Pro, PETG Matte, PETG Hyper Speed, ASA, Nylon (PA), Polycarbonate (PC), PC-PBT, PET-CF, PET-HTCF, TPU 95A, TPU 95A-CF, STTPU, ShoeFlex 9075A, InsoleFlex 9585A, and every carbon-fibre (CF) blend we stock.

Is black filament good for hiding layer lines?

Yes, black is the best colour for hiding layer lines and minor surface imperfections, which is why it's a popular default for functional and mechanical prints.

Which black filament should I choose for strength?

For strong functional parts, PETG Pro, ABS Pro or a carbon-fibre blend (PLA-CF, PETG-CF, ASA-CF) are great choices. For maximum strength and heat resistance, Nylon (PA) or Polycarbonate (PC) black is recommended.
