FAQ
What is the difference between standard, premium, and specialty filament?
All of our filaments are PLA made out of the world’s best raw material, Ingeo 4043D by NatureWorks. Whereas, the only differences are the pigments and additives that go into them.
Standard filaments are more customary pigments such as black, grey, red, etc.
Premium filaments use specialised pigments that are harder to come by – such as royal blue, cyan, and violet – and create rich, dense colour.
Specialty filaments have additives, such as glow-in-the-dark powders or glitter, creating various unique effects.

You can place an order online through our website or come visit us in-store. Our retail headquarters is located at 73 Sackville Drive in Lower Sackville, NS.
How do I know which filament is right for me?
If you are unsure about which filament to use for your project, feel free to reach out and one of our technicians can advise you. See our contact page to get in touch.
How can I store my filaments for as long as possible?
Moisture can make filament brittle and affect print quality, so you can use desiccants such as silica gel packets in an airtight container to store filament for longer.
However, all EurekaFil spools of filament come in a resealable, reusable plastic bag for storage.
