FREE 3D Printer Filament - For Printing Useful 3D Prints!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 авг 2024
- I don't know about all of you, but I buy a LOT of 3d printer filament. My entire cabinets here in my office are completely overflowing with 3d printer filament. My Amazon orders list is just roll after roll after roll 3d printer filament. And on any given day, I am putting out one or two empty kilos of 3d printer filament in the recycle bin.
So imagine my surprise and excitement when I discovered that I could get the BEST 3d printer filament completely for FREE, just for printing the useful 3D Prints that I'm already printing... and uploading a few files here and there.
In this video, I'm going to show you my method for getting the BEST 3D Printer filament... and all you have to do is sign up for a website and take pictures of your most useful 3D Prints. Best of all, you'll be contributing to the 3D Printer community as you go!
Enjoy!

So, what do you say? Worth the effort to get that FREE filament? LMK in the comments below.
Worth it, not just for the filament but helping establish another quality platform for the 3D printing community.
Awesome, I'm glad to hear you say that. I was worried others wouldn't see it the way I do!
How are you going through 1-2 spools a day? We have two printers here: A CR-10 Smart with a 0.4 nozzle that runs about 60 mm/s, and an Ender 7 with a 0.8 nozzle with jerk and acceleration cranked way up that runs between 150 and 200 mm/s. I don't think we've ever went through even an entire spool in a day.
I have two printers running mostly full-tilt, all the time. However, I think the reason I'm going through so many spools recently is because I bought like, every color in the rainbow, and had a ton of half-empty spools when I discovered the Gridfinity system (see my other video), and suddenly, I was printing tons of yellow, orange, green, red... whereas I normally print a TON of black. So... I emptied lots of spools. Also, I didn't say EVERY day... just that "on any given day." Not a precise measure by any means, and there are probably a lot of days I don't take out an empty spool. Also, I've been doing some BIG projects (3 kilos of filament for one of them)... so make sure you're subbed ;) Video coming next week.
@@thenextlayer loved the gridfinity video :) so all your prints are for yourself? Or do you also sell prints commercially. Anyway, can't believe the production quality of your videos for a sub-1k subscribers channel. You're gonna grow fast! Best wishes! Oh and I'm switching over to printables too ;)
Thank you for the kind words! We're putting our hearts into making Printables the go-to place for the entire 3D printing community. We just released the Analytics and we have more new features on the way. We're always open to community suggestions for changes/new features, if you ever have any, let us know. :)
Amazing, and I'm honored you guys commented here. Huge fan of Printables, and huge fan of Prusa. Let me know how I can help spread the word about each :)
For whatever reason, some other Verse is not available at my work so I've been looking for an alternative. I like the community that surrounds Prusa and aspire to own one soon. I'm excited to be part of your community and thank you for creating it.
Printables is the best 3d model site
@@crazybird199I Agree 🙂
I've just discovered printables and have really enjoyed it. Thank you for the video and thank you printables for the reward program.
Thank you so much for this video. I've been 3D printing for almost 4 years and had never heards of this. Already have 128 Prusameters just this afternoon!!
I do this cause as you say I'm doing all the requisite work anyway, but the huge shipping costs really undo the "free" filament. It costs as must in shipping alone as a roll of cheap filament on Amazon. Ya you get better filament for that cost, but it's really just get "better" filament for the same price you were going to pay for cheap filament, there's no "free" in there. If I wasn't doing all the stuff already it certainly wouldn't be worth my time over a 3 month time frame to get slightly better filament than I could get driving down the road to Micro Center and have right now.
He was definitely compensated by Prusa for this lol
I agree, to some extent, but $12-20 for 2 rolls is still quite cheap! And yeah. You’re already doing the activities. For me, also, I wanted Prusa orange specifically that matched (the copies on other sites aren’t even close), and their specific color of galaxy black.
But I hear you. I mostly print overture because Amazon ships free to israel
Lol no, just with a silver award on Reddit. I will disclose if I ever get sponsored content :)
This was interesting. I never uploaded my designs to any of the sites simply because I think it would be a waste. I mean, most of my designs are practical prints made in Blendr, which I am sure others can do better, but they help me. Like making cane attachments or an ant-bait holder to protect my cats from eating them, again.
You’d be surprised! I have people making stuff I upload a lot. Nichey stuff too. Btw I switched from blender to onshape recently for functional parts and WOW what a difference… blender makes it so hard to adjust. Check out onshape
@@thenextlayer Thank you, I will look into it. I was learning Blender because I had Fusion but then with the changes and student license expiring needed something else.
@@thenextlayer ive been using fusion360 for now but am looking for an alternative. never heard of onshape though, thanks for sharing
3d printing shines in the niche department. you have no idea who else would want a cane attachment or an ant-bait holder but cant print it because its not uploaded. try it out!
I'm already using Printables but I had no clue what that roll up in the top meant. Thanks for this video!
I have yet to get point for my created models, but I have the upload award at least.
They did change the points for posted makes, now it's 100 points a month, but it rewards you better for prints of models without as many makes, or larger models. By strategizing, you can do it in 10 makes, but more likely in 12 or so.
I have had my printer for just about a year now, I have redeemed my points for two rolls, and by the end of next month will have points for another 2 rolls. The points don't seem to expire, so wait until you have enough points for 2 rolls at a time and save shipping. Yes, the shipping is as expensive as a cheap roll, but the filament is good.
Hi there. I just came across this video. I love the little tips on maximizing points on Printables. I hadn't realized that you were based in Israel. I just recently returned to the U.S. from my first ever trip. Such a wonderful experience. My wife and I are already talking about when we can go back.
It's a good idea, but the entire program is really only for 3D designers. If you're not a designer, there just aren't many ways to get points. If you're just a maker, you're going to be looking at, realistically, one spool for every 70 makes you share. If you're not just printing junk for the free filament (you'd have to be really bad at math to try that), and you don't do this for a living/have a big print farm, you're looking at seven or eight *months* of work for one free spool.
And that's only if you're exclusive to Printables for your projects. If you do what most do and jump between Thingiverse, Printables, MakerWorld, and even retail files that you've paid for from Kickstarters, etc. it'll be far slower.
All that hassle, for what, after shipping, probably turns into $15 worth of product per *year*.
For non-creators, this is a dead promotion.
Just thought I'd say hey, I ended up watching your channel after seeing a video link you have up with a model on Printables.
oh, another Israeli 3d printing enthusiast!
thanks for the tips!
You bet! I made a Telegram group, if you wanna join, and also a Reddit community: www.reddit.com/r/3dprintingisrael/ t.me/+wkrysZWWzNk3NWM0
This is fairly cool. If I can get one free spool every 3/4 months by doing basically nothing more than what I’m already doing it’s worth it even tough I imagine that you still have to pay for shipping :)
When you say "it's Free, no strings attached", that means you literally don't need to do or pay anything to get it for free. So in this instance you really mean "It's kinda free" which means there are something you will need to do or pay before getting it. For someone who's just gotten my very first 3D printer 2 days ago (23 Sept, 2022) and whose only income is less than $5000 per year or less than $400 per month, it was awesome when a youtuber offered to send me the said 3D printer I got. Now figuring out how to pay for filament isn't easy for me and when I saw this video at first I was excited then as soon as you said "it's free, No strings attached, except you'll need to upload your models and hope lots of other people will like and download it." (Which again is at least 1 string attached....) I hope to find a way to learn how to make models and design my own stuff but since I have barely any money to use it's going to be forever.
I don’t consider contributing to the community a string, I consider it behavior you’ll already be doing. But if you don’t have money to buy filament, why don’t I send you a roll on Amazon? It’s $20…
@@thenextlayer If you're giving it out I'll take it.
@@thenextlayer thanks! You'd really do that? If so, I really appreciate it and I understand what you're saying about it being something you'll already be doing. I just wanted to point out how it can be really difficult for some.
Definitely upload your prints to get free prusament over time but for now I suggest Becoming an Amazon affiliate and post links to products people are looking for on fb groups you can also send these affiliate links through any social media. I made $100 in 3 months not even trying that’s how I fund my filament🙂 even if they don’t buy what you suggest you still make commission on whatever they buy after they get on Amazon through your link.
Oh boohoo. Get over it. If you make so little, clearly you've got plenty of free time (also clear to see based on your long comment) so use free modeling software and learn to make interesting models. It costs zero dollars to do so. 3D printing isn't a right. If you have the ability to use a PC to slice models for your 3D printer, you can design shit too lol. Genuinely sad that you'd rather whine and cry about not getting literally free handouts without earning what you want, looking for pity and sympathy, when you could go be productive with your time. Why do you feel so entitled? Genuinely curious
Ah so not really free/ corporate shilling. So Prusa wants me to do the work of building their platform/ community. Then when it comes time for my compensation I have to pay shipping. Which is really a sales tactic to sell a spool of filament to get free shipping. Prusa pay you for this video or did you do it for reddit upvotes and gold?
as I said I’d do the community building free because I like Printables and hate Thingiverse, so for me it’s free. And nope, I didn’t get paid
@@thenextlayer yea "Free Filament (for me because I like printables and hate thingiverse" doesn't work well as a clickbait title that well.
I dont even have a filament printer (yet!) But heck Im tempted 😂 gives me a excuse to whip out the Mars 2 and make lots of prints
Regarding the shipping costs of rolls of filament from Prusa (any of the filaments that they sell in the 1kg size, I haven't experimented with other sizes). Lets say the shipping cost of one roll is x. The shipping cost for two rolls will still be x. But, the shipping cost after that is the number of rolls times x (3 rolls will cost 3x in shipping, 4 rolls will cost 4x, etc.) I'm sure this changes once you get to single pallet quantities, but I've never ordered that much filament at once because I'm just me with only 1 printer.
Neat. I learned the trick.
Greetings from the Galilee..
Greetings! Hoping to host a meetup in the Merkaz soon, hope you'll come down :)
Yeah right, this is not an ad at all.
Info in video is outdate as of now. Rewards are very limited or capped. For example, you can only earn 100 points TOTAL for uploading 10 original designs. And make post points are variable UP TO 10 points.
Good call, this video is older :(
its a good thing that couple took their 3d printer to disneyland with them...
They stopped in at a local makerspace and got it printed on the cheap :)
the problem with prusament is that you have to pay shipping. I have enough points to buy several rolls of filament but paying for shipping from Europe to US is about how much filament would cost me if i ordered from aliexpress so i dont ever redeem them
$20 for 2 rolls is file by me..
I’ll give you $10 for your prusa points and I’ll use em for myself
The shipping is the problem. I'm in Australia and is $100 just for shipping. I can get almost 3kg of pla+ for that price. I redeem some for the courses online and te are interesting... thhe rest are just gonna sit in my printable account.
Thanks mate! Any opinion / test of the Bambu printers?
I haven't gotten my hands on one, yet... hopefully soon
A question for filament about PC PBT filament
Can it print out without heat chamber??
Filament box said need 110°C heated chamber to print out
It prints on a Bambu so doesn’t have to be actively heated but needs to get toasty
Nothing is free, you want my models to drive attention to your brand. This is an even trade. Especially since art is protected. I say good job Prusa.
Here is the things your not just contributing to the community your also making pursa more profitable. Theirfore "free" is just extra work that you get paid for in fillment plus the shipping you have to pay.
It's a free website, how is adding to the activity on printables making "Prusa more profitable"? Besides, I upload makes of my stuff anyway, it's not like I'm going out of my way to do something I wasn't already doing. I like Printables, it has a better quality search and organization system than Thingiverse.
I'm like 2 hours from Prague and the shipping it still like 6 euro
Do you know anything about the xyz da Vinci 1.0 pro? I'm wondering how it stacks up against other ones
Haven’t heard if it actually!
I have a Da Vinci printer at work a few years back and it was garbage
So how should I get 10000 for a prusa mini+? any fast way to get that much?
Hey, for you how long did you have to wait for the approval for the voucher? I requested it 5 days ago and nothing arrived to my email, the history says the voucher will appear there after approval. I know, there is so many request, but i would like to know how long I have to wait.
Wait until you Can get two huh? It says on printables that you Can only use one voucher Per order.
So that’s just double the postage
Thanks for the video man. new to the channel and the world of 3d printing. with so much info online and so many others putting out content im just lost. I know your time is valuable and your not in the states from the sounds of it. But can you point me to good software to learn to create models and such?
Awesome, thank you! If you want to learn modeling, check out Teaching Tech's recent Onshape series, that's how I learned.
@@thenextlayer thank you for the info. and thank you for replying back.
Does prusament ship to canada?
Yep :)
currently i have 171 Prusameters
This info is definitely good to have, but starting off by saying "no strings attached" and then spending the next 10+ minutes explaining all the strings that are attached to getting this is pretty lol worthy.
I mean, you do have to do some work for it lol
Can you make a video on 3D printing with kids? My son is 6 and asked if he could have a 3D printer for his birthday- now I realized I need a 3D printer haha…
Good idea, I'll check my analytics to see how many people are parents
Is Prusa owned by Amway now? Your title is misleading as it isn't free. It's a rewards based system that has requirements. That is not free. Though the concept is sound, your video sounds more like a sales pitch than a giveaway. Just tell the truth and change your title to "How to earn filament".
Good point. I’ll change the title when I get a chance
@@thenextlayer 10 months later, you never changed the title.
Me who runs my schools printers: hmmmm
What cabinet do you have your printers in back there?
It’s custom built carpentry work. Would you be interested in a video tour?
@The Next Layer Absolutely! I have a small space as well so a tour would be helpful.

Oooh will check that out, though I don’t think they ship to me
Not a bad video, you repeat yourself now and then tho and it feels like you drag on for no reason at some points
Good feedback, I'm always looking to improve. Thank you
Time is money. Even if it Is worth $40/roll I can't see this being anything but gimmicky for anyone but full time creators. Two months of my time to get a single roll, then I still have to pay $12-$20 for it? No thanks.
Guaranteed to be tangle free? I beg to differ lol

Screw those guys. Join Printables
Its not really free for much of the world. Its more like a discount on a larger order because at 30$ shipping for one spool its not free. Its only worth it if you already participate in the community.
The only way a spool can be free for me is if I put double the effort to be able to get two spools for 30$ shipping. This results on double the effort for 1 free spool.
Yeah I guess that's fair
Far too much work for 1 filament even if it is Prusa! I can't design to save my live 3D wise, the CAD type stuff is only for very smart people. and social media is not my thing.
So no not worth it. for me.
Fair enough
This is clickbait and I do not appreciate it. Could have easily said "Earn free filament if you use this repo" but I guess that wouldn't pull in the people without the skills to do this and watch that video with hope.
Milking the masses, I don't like it
Sorry you don't like it, will do better next time
@@thenextlayer I will hold you to it, you have good content
I wonder how many points you would have to get for them to give u a printer as thanks lol 😆 imagine if u could get a printer for 500000 lol
10000 meters for a prusa mini.
so you make them 10k$ in advertisement revenue in this process and you get 24$ of filament after 3 to 4 months of effort seems like a crappy deal to me.
they are basically paying you less than a waitress to be their unhired sales and marketing department. i would be different if you could have a way to earn at least 1 spool a month but the amount of points needed vs amount you can gain in a month means your basically working as a salesmen for their company for little to nothing
Shipping is just making up for their cost at that price. Shipping has 0 reason to be that high and isn't from other sources. Shipping cost is just minimizing/preventing loss.
Not that this is all a bad idea it's getting the filament at a discount but it isn't free.
It’s the same price whether you pay for the filament or get it free… also shipping from Eastern Europe is expensive, what can you do?
Ooor an hold tight, you just buy the rolls for 25€ instead of 20€ 'shipping' and dont have to do this hassle and free advertisement for prusa
They’re 30 a roll, and then you still have to pay the same amount of shipping…
Locally they’re $60 a roll. So…

You can disable email notifications. Also I only get one, reminding me to upload a make. And you can’t deny that Printables works way better and doesn’t have ads. Plus the contests are awesome.
@@thenextlayer no sites have ads... do you not have an adblocker? lol
It seems like a good idea at first but if you don't have access to compatible printers, have the time to do these hundreds of thousands of challenges, have access to modeling hardware/software or the skill and knowledge to make something that can get enough likes for filament. It's basically Twitch for 3D printing it's going to reward the talented and everyone else is kinda screwed and then finding out there's the "if people like or can even find your print" this has *A LOT* of work to do lmao I'm very disappointed especially coming from Josef.
The entire point here is not to hand out free filament to the masses, that is expensive though it would be very generous. No, the entire point is to build a community on printables with the incentive of expensive filament to the people most likely to contribute regularly. It's essentially an advertising expense that directly contributes to the process you're advertising. It's pretty smart if you ask me.
@@insederec even then the intention is cool but the execution is very poor.
@@eldiablo3124 You don't have to do any of the stuff you listed...you just upload "makes" of other peoples' prints. It's dead simple, and many of us do it anyway to give users pictures of example prints and share how it worked out for us, any tips we have, etc. It also doesn't take anywhere near "hundreds of thousands of challenges", it's 10 points just to upload a make, and a spool costs 350 points. 35 makes is not a lot, plus they give tons of points for extra stuff like filling out your profile, giving them suggestions of features on the next i3, etc. I'm surprised so many people have complaints about this, you don't get a thing for uploading to Thingiverse, and the Printables search feature works better anyway.
This looks like an awful lot of hassle for a little bit of freebies.
Click bait
that's a lot of work for 40 dollars. lol basically like 3 to 4 months of work HAHAHA
Fair
It ain't free nothing is free.
What about models on Thingiverse? Those are free
@@thenextlayer those are actually free unlike what you are portraying as free in this video you are misleading to get views
That's pretty rude to say over and over this is a (tedious btw) way to get "FREE" filament, and only mention near the end (~11min mark) it's actually like $10+ dollars a roll for "shipping" :/ wasting my time... not watching any more of these
prusa filement is generally considered great filament, but overpriced. you can get similar qualities of filament from filamentum, RedLine, Jessie, Overture, Hatchbox, PolyAlchemy, Inland, Atomic Filament, Fusion Filaent, 3dxtech, Dasfilament, Formfutura, Fiberlogy and Spectrum. Some are more expensive than others, and vary by regional availability.
It's also not 'free' if you have to do a lot of WORK for it. Making models, printing, advertising them, that is all promotional gains for prusa- and work from you. If it takes you more than 2 hours to do - it isn't even worth the wages you would have had working a typical job instead.
This honestly is all 'pyramidy' cult like of 'use our system only, our economy, our printables' - and the point of thingiverse being crowded is only going to make Prusa crowded when everyone imports their models over! This doesn't solve anything and is screaming "rewards points" systems to keep you invested in THEIR product, over anything else.
Uploading images, doing models, adding models from thingiverse to their site instead - that is actually hours of work. You glance over this - and I think your just sunk cost fallacy on this one, your too far in to realize how much effort your actually putting in, to earn this "free" filament.
Your also talking 3+ months of effort, waiting, and work - for a single spool of filament. Again.. 2 hours at minimum wage can typically get you a roll of great quality filament, doesn't require additional steps, and doesn't require insane quotas or upload images and do all the work prusa should be PAYING you to do.
any of those nor the prusa enter in my country XD
You’re right, but I usually enjoy uploading and reviewing prints anyways, and participating in the community. So if I do that on Printables instead of Thingiverse? It’s not extra work. It literally is free filament for doing what I would do anyways. But I hear you. I charge $150-500 an hour for consulting depending on the topic, so this isn’t strictly speaking a good use of my time unless it’s something I do because I enjoy it. And I enjoy interacting with other enthusiasts!
Which country?
@@thenextlayer argentina
Yeah to me anyway it seems like just working for a few hours is a better method than going through this.
Nothing is free
