Frequently Asked Questions
How many meters of Polypropylene (PP) filament are in a 1kg spool?
A standard 1,000g (1 kg) spool of 1.75mm Polypropylene (PP) filament (density 0.9 g/cm³) contains approximately 461.95 meters (~1516 feet). For 2.85mm diameter, a 1 kg spool yields approximately 174.17 meters.
What is the density of Polypropylene (PP) 3D printer filament?
Polypropylene (PP) has an average density of 0.9 g/cm³. Heavier composite filaments yield fewer meters per kilogram than lightweight unfilled polymers.
How do I calculate remaining Polypropylene (PP) on a used spool?
Weigh your spool on a digital scale in grams, subtract the tare weight of the empty spool (typically 130g–240g depending on brand), and enter the net filament weight into the MakersMetric calculator above to find the exact remaining meters.
What print temperatures are recommended for Polypropylene (PP)?
Recommended nozzle extrusion temperature is 220-250 °C, with a recommended print bed temperature of 80-100 °C.
