Frequently Asked Question!
Every spool of Spooligan filament is manufactured right here in South Africa. We keep production local to maintain strict quality control and ensure a reliable supply chain for the South African maker community.
All Spooligan filaments are produced to a ±0.05mm diameter tolerance. This level of consistency is critical for smooth, clog-free extrusion — and it’s something we test rigorously before any roll leaves our facility.
We are launching with four high-performance materials: PLA, ABS, PETG, and TPU — available in Black and White. We’re already working on expanding our colour range, so keep an eye on the site for new launches.
We ship nationwide across South Africa. Standard delivery takes 3–5 business days. Once your order is processed, you’ll receive a tracking number so you can follow your delivery right to your door. Orders placed before 12:00 on weekdays are processed the same day.
Filament is sensitive to moisture, especially PETG, ABS, and TPU. When not in use, always store your rolls in an airtight container or vacuum-sealed bag with a desiccant pack (silica gel). If your prints start showing stringing, popping sounds, or rough surface textures, your filament has likely absorbed moisture and needs to be dried.
Drying tip: PLA and PETG can be dried at 45–50°C in a conventional oven or filament dryer for 4–6 hours. Always dry at the lower end of the temperature range to avoid deforming the spool.
