Frequently Asked Questions

What is FILABOX?

Filabox is a monthly subscription box for 3D printer filament. Every month we automatically ship you a box with 3D filaments based on your subscription package. Purchasing filament through a Filabox subscription gives you one of the lowest prices per spool compared to other online retailers.

What's included in the Filabox?

You will receive filament spools based on your selection of material and size (See below) combinations at time of purchase. We also may sometimes include extra goodies such as STL files, stickers, snack, discount codes and more. We give you the flexibility of changing your subscription options at anytime.

Material variant options:

PLA = Easy to print, non-toxic and food safe.

PETG = Tough and heat resistant. Non-toxic and food safe.

Size variant options:

1 KG SPOOL = 1 KG of filament on our standard cardboard spool. Ready to use.

0.5 KG COIL = This is a 0.5kg filament coil without a spool. To use this coil you will need to 3D print our mini spool which can be downloaded for free from the links below. The spool is only 148mm in diameter and can easily fit even small 3D printers.

COLOURS... Can I choose the colours I want in the unique colour subscription?

In short, no... We're always playing with colours and no two spool are alike. The colours you will receive can include rainbow/gradient, glitter, silk/satin, marble etc. We strive to include only the more unique and non basic colours in this subscription package. This means that each filament batch is produced specifically for Filabox and the colour combinations used are usually one of a kind and cannot be replicated or purchased anywhere else. Many spools will show a colour transition (rainbow/gradient) between 2 or more colours while others will be more solid but yet unique/non-standard colours.
