FAQ
CNTRL P is a 3D printer filament brand made in Sydney. It is extruded, checked and dispatched in Australia by Siddament.
Sydney. Not imported and relabelled. The extrusion line, the quality checking and the dispatch are all in the same building.
PLA, PETG, ABS and ASA in black and white, plus two carbon fibre grades, ASA-CF and PC-CF. That is the launch range and it is deliberately narrow.
Because they are the easiest colours to keep identical from run to run, and they cover most real work. Prove the process on the colours that hold best, then add the ones that are harder.
Per kilogram: PLA $19.99, PETG $18.99, ABS $18.99, ASA $27.99, ASA-CF $42.99, PC-CF $49.99. Stockists set their own final pricing, so check the range page for current numbers.
Through authorised stockists around Australia. The Where to Buy page lists who is carrying it.
That is the whole point of making it here. A restock is a production run down the road, not a container crossing an ocean. Weeks rather than months.
Any printer that runs standard 1.75mm filament. It also supports the open filament tag standard, so a compatible machine can read the spool and load the right settings for it.
Yes. The diameter is measured on the line as the spool is wound, and that spool's own number is what you can look up. Not a figure copied off a datasheet.
Yes, and that is one of the real advantages of local extrusion. Bring a hex, a Pantone reference or a physical sample. See the custom colour page.
That is what consistent diameter is for. Flow stays predictable when the filament does not vary, which is what matters most at speed.
You shouldn't, yet. We are at the start of this. We publish specs when we can hold them and not before, and every spool is measured so you can check our work rather than take our word for it.
