Quick answer: OzFDM holds filament stock in Melbourne and Perth, publishes specification tables and PDF data sheets for its filament, and runs its own X1 Carbon, H2D and Prusa XL printers. Volume pricing applies automatically, businesses can open trade accounts, and Recycl3D takes back empty spools and failed prints.
Any filament seller can say its product is high quality. This page sets out what we can show instead: where our stock is, what our product pages document, which printers we run and how our pricing works. You can check every point on this site.
Local stock in two warehouses
We ship from two Australian warehouses. Melbourne ships orders to VIC, NSW, QLD, SA, TAS, ACT and NT. Perth, at Bibra Lake, ships to WA and also serves counter trade. The cart shows which warehouse each item ships from before you pay, and the free shipping threshold is $299.
A range that goes well past PLA
As of September 2026 we list 62 filament products, all 1.75 mm, across 15 base materials: PLA, PETG, PET, ABS, ASA, PC, PC-ABS, PA6, PA12, PPA, PPS, PP, TPU, HIPS and PVA. That runs from everyday PLA and PETG, through effect filaments such as silk, matte, marble and colour-changing PLA, to fibre-reinforced engineering grades like PPA-CF and PPS-CF, plus PVA and HIPS for supports.
If you are not sure where to start, the filament finder asks four quick questions. You can also filter the whole range by properties such as heat resistance, UV and outdoor use, carbon or glass fibre and ESD safety, then compare filaments side by side.
Data sheets you can actually use
Most of our filament pages carry a downloadable PDF technical data sheet, plus specification tabs that set out:
- Product specifications: diameter and tolerance, spool outer diameter, width, hub size and empty weight, packaging, and drying and storage advice.
- Print parameters: nozzle and bed temperature ranges, print speed and suitable support materials.
- Mechanical properties: tensile, flexural and impact figures, each with its test standard, such as ISO 527.
- Physical and thermal properties: density, moisture absorption, heat deflection temperature and continuous use temperature.
A few of our newest lines are still having full specifications compiled, and their pages say so. To compare heat resistance across materials, see our heat deflection temperature chart.
Settings tested on printers we run
Our own print farm runs Bambu Lab X1 Carbon, Bambu Lab H2D and Prusa XL printers. When a print profile or guide gives settings we have run on one of those machines, it carries a "Tested on" note naming the printer, the nozzle and the month of testing. That lets you tell settings we have printed ourselves apart from general starting points. Our print profiles are organised by material and printer.
Pricing that rewards regular printing
Volume pricing on filament applies automatically at checkout: 5% off 3 or more rolls in any mix, 10% off 6 or more, and 15% off 12 or more. A complete carton of 12 rolls of the same variant gets 20% off, and any remainder on that line gets the mixed tier. Volume pricing is not combined with trade pricing.
Businesses can apply for a trade account. Approved accounts can check out on invoice or purchase order with Net 30 terms, get 20% off 360 or more rolls of a single SKU (1 kg filament, excluding sample packs and bundles), and request upcoming restocks in the trade portal.
Recycl3D: a use for empty spools and failed prints
Empty spools and failed prints pile up quickly. Through Recycl3D, you can drop them off in Perth in exchange for OzFDM store credit. The material is sorted and processed locally instead of going to landfill.

Frequently asked questions
Where does OzFDM ship from?
From Melbourne for VIC, NSW, QLD, SA, TAS, ACT and NT, and from Perth for WA. The cart shows which warehouse each item ships from.
Does every filament have a data sheet?
Most filament pages have a downloadable PDF data sheet and specification tabs. A few of the newest lines are still having full specifications compiled, and their product pages note this.
What diameter is OzFDM filament?
Every filament we currently list is 1.75 mm. The tolerance for each line is in its product specifications.
Can I combine volume pricing with a trade account?
No. Volume pricing is not combined with trade pricing. Approved trade accounts get 20% off 360 or more rolls of a single SKU instead.
