Filament Sources:

The Replicator 2 uses 1.75mm PLA filament. In general any 1.75mm pla should work on our printer, though please consult the instructor prior to purchasing your own filament.

 

Makerbot PLA filament - straight from the source - be sure to purchase for the Replicator 2

 

Taulman3d - Nylon and specialty PLA filaments - be sure to read instructions on each filament prior to purchasing.
