Made for Sketch and Sketch Large

This five-spool pack is built for MakerBot Sketch and Sketch Large 3D printers. It suits classrooms, makerspaces and hobbyists who want a ready-to-print set of metallic colours without mixing brands or diameters. Buyers who need flexible or high-temperature materials will not find them here.

Consistent 1.75 mm extrusion

Each spool delivers 1 kg of PLA at a uniform 1.75 mm diameter, giving steady flow through the Sketch hot end. The material prints at standard PLA temperatures, keeping nozzle wear low and power draw predictable. No heated enclosure or specialised cooling is required for reliable results.

Five metallic shades in one box

The collection includes Patina Bronze, Sunset Copper, Shimmering Silver, Crown Gold and Midnight Metal, each formulated for a shiny metallic finish. Spools are sized for the Sketch series spool holder, so they mount directly without adapters. The pack simplifies colour changes during multi-part projects.

Questions about this item

How do I load the 1.75 mm PLA spools into my Sketch printer without jamming?

Place each 1 kg spool on the holder, feed the end through the guide tube, and preheat the nozzle before inserting filament; the step users skip is waiting for the full target temperature so the drive gear grips cleanly.

What upkeep will the metallic PLA need after months of printing?

Wipe the drive gear and nozzle tip when changing colors to prevent metallic pigment buildup, and store unused spools sealed with desiccant to stop moisture from making the filament brittle.

Which limitation appears first during long prints with these metallic colors?

The metallic pigments increase nozzle wear, so the brass tip degrades faster than with standard PLA and will need replacement sooner during high-volume runs.
