<b>Filament Diameter</b><br>There are two common diameters of 3D printing filament, 1.75 mm and 3.0 mm. Most commercial printers today are designed to work with one diameter filament and not the other. Always check your printer manufacturers specifications to determine which diameter is compatible with your printer.<br><br><b>Precision / Diameter Accuracy</b><br>Always look for filament manufacturers who publish their diameter tolerances.
The tighter the tolerance, the more consistent and accurate the printed results will be. Verbatim 3D printing filaments are manufactured to a tolerance of +0.05 mm – to ensure stable, accurate prints with consistent feeding.<br><br><b>Spool vs. Coil and Design</b><br>Spools are easier to work with than coils.
They are easily stored, mount conveniently and distribute the material in an even, consistent manner. However, not all spools are created equal. Verbatim 3D filament spools are custom designed for both strength and to ensure even feeding of filam This part is cataloged in the Federal Logistics Information System (FLIS) under NSN 5330-00-291-1619, indicating validated use in U.S.
