Plan your material supply

Filament engineered for print farms

Why FilamentBay

Built for farms, priced like a factory

Bulk pricing

Per-kg ladders from $10.99 for PLA. No middleman: you buy from the plant that extrudes it.

Batch consistency

Request lot traceability and discuss a reserved batch for repeat colors. Confirm measurable acceptance limits and the actual lot record in writing.

Calibration support

Starting settings, evidence status and controlled test workflows help prepare your own fleet validation. No published multi-printer validation is implied.

US warehouse

Confirm available stock and the dispatch estimate before payment. Pallet freight and preorder dates are quoted separately.

What filament really costs your farm

Enter your fleet. The estimate uses continuous extrusion during printing hours and our launch price ladder.

Assumes 30 days and continuous extrusion during printing hours. Real usage is 10–25 % lower because of travel moves and idle time.

Build a qualification and replenishment record

Before the first production order

  • Record grade/color, nozzle, slicer, part orientation and the sample lot.
  • Set a practical acceptance check for fit, appearance and performance.
  • Confirm which TDS or batch records are available.
  • Agree a written quote, shipment plan and handling of rejected material.

Before a repeat order

  • Use the accepted specification rather than only a material name.
  • Confirm whether the same lot or a new lot is supplied.
  • Recheck color and critical dimensions after any lot or process change.
  • Order against actual measured consumption and lead time; this calculator is only an estimate.

Print Farm FAQ

What is the minimum?
50 spools a month, any mix of materials and colours, unlocks per-kg pricing and a farm account. Below that, the automatic 12% discount at 4+ spools applies with no account.
Do you offer net terms?
Net 30 from the second order for registered US businesses at 50+ spools a month. Payment methods and timing are confirmed in your written quote.
Can I lock a colour batch?
Batch reservation can be discussed from the listed 200-spool monthly band. Agree the lot, reservation period, quantity and measured color acceptance criteria in the quote; a shared lot alone does not guarantee identical printed appearance.
Do 3 kg and 5 kg spools work in an AMS?
No, they exceed the AMS diameter. Farms running AMS units order 1 kg spools; farms on external holders take 3 kg or 5 kg for fewer changeovers.
Where do orders ship from?
For confirmed US stock, request the handling and carrier estimate before payment. Pallet, custom and preorder requests receive a separate shipment plan.
