R3D PLA print temperature and settings
The settings R3D publishes for its PLA: 210 °C at the nozzle and 50 °C on the bed. Start in the middle of the range, then adjust for your printer, speed and cooling.
R3D's recommended nozzle range is about 5°C cooler than the typical PLA across the 54 PLA lines we track (median 210–220°C).

Frequently asked questions
What temperature should I print R3D PLA at?
R3D lists 210–210°C at the nozzle and 50–50°C for the bed. Start mid-range, then go hotter for faster printing or better layer bonding and cooler if you see stringing.
How many meters are on a 1 kg spool of R3D PLA?
About 327 m at 1.75 mm, from its published density of 1.27 g/cm³.
How many colors does R3D PLA come in?
10 in the data we track, including PLA BASIC Black, PLA BASIC Brown, PLA BASIC Cobalt Blue and PLA BASIC Orange.
