Markforged Precise PLA (PPLA) Filament available in 8 colours
Precise PLA (PPLA) is a specialised version of Polylactic Acid (PLA) created by Markforged which now enables you to go from concept to production on the same platform. Read more on our blog here
Precise PLA is recommended by Markforged as a more cost-effective option for prototypes, fit checks, or any other applications that don’t need the enhanced mechanical properties of onyx and/or continuous fiber. The eight colour options offered (yellow, red, green, blue, orange, black, white, and gray) can enhance usability and safety of tools and fixtures by supporting communicative color codes.
PPLA is not compatible with continuous fiber as onyx is, so Markforged still recommend using onyx and the appropriate continuous fiber if your printed part needs to be stronger, or more impact/heat resistant than your typical plastic.
A Composite Purge Rod (product code 21241) is required to print successfully with Precise PLA.
It’s compatible with 2nd-generation Onyx Pro and Mark Two desktop printers, as well as X3, X5, and X7 Industrial machines fitted with the A3648 extruder.

PALLETS DON'T SHIP VIA DPD - WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Some units can only be shipped safely on a pallet due to weight and/or size. Cut off time for orders shipping by pallet is 1.30pm, that’s because we need to book the job before 2pm.
Pallets are big and they ship on big lorries! If there is any problem with a dustbin-lorry size vehicle accessing your property, you need to let us know and we can request delivery by a smaller 7.5T lorry. If this is the case, then PALLET NEXT DAY may not be available.
Depending on your postcode your options at checkout will include PALLET NEXT DAY, PALLET 2-3 DAYS, PALLET COLLECTION HG4 2RN (organise your own pick-up). Some postcodes will show “PALLET 5-6 DAYS” etc.
Pallet deliveries are between 09.00 and 17.00 and we are unable to give you the ETA in advance.
We use a very reliable local supplier, and the pallets go in to the “Palletforce” network. Currently the network don’t use tracking numbers and you can't track online (coming in 2026). Call or email us to check on a delivery or collection.
