First a quick intro
All Carbon Fibre filaments are actually made by adding Carbon Fibre (abbreviated CF) into a base plastic.
For eg, PLA. There is a proportaion (or percentage) of Carbon Fibre inside the 3d printer filament which is still mainly plastic.
Most cheap Carbon Fibre filaments are simply PLA with just around 5% CF inside them.
What does 3d Printing Carbon Fibre actually mean?
When you ‘Print’ CF, […]
How to 3D print strong & decent looking parts, fast – using FDM technology
Once you start 3D printing, you will see that the machine and software allow you to control several aspects of the 3D Printing process. While it may seem that specific aspects of the process only apply to that one aspect, it’s actually quite the opposite. In fact, sometimes it can even be ambiguous, e.g. what exactly are […]
One of the most common issue people experience when they first start 3D printing is that the plastic is not sticking to the printer base, so the object can not form.
While this may seem like a very serious problem, in most cases it just means you need to set up a few things correctly.
In the 3D printing world, we use phrases like ‘First Layer Adhesion’ for this.

Zubbin Navroji of 3D Printer Store was interviewed by 1 News as New Zealand’s 3D printing expert.
He discussed the viability of 3D printing a gun using current FDM technology.
Alex L2023-11-28I have dealt with the 3D Printer Store for several months now and have to say that the experience has been very positive. Zubbin is extremely knowledgeable in this field, enthusiastic, honest and responsive. Pre and Post Purchase customer support has been great. He will have your best interest in mind and will recommend the best product for your needs. My positive experience dealing with him professionally has led me to buy product from him for personal use. We are very lucky to have such a supplier providing these kinds of specialized 3D Printers, Filaments, accessories and services in New Zealand. The rare filaments can sometimes be difficult to source but he will do his best to find alternatives to get what's needed ASAP or even suggest proper alternatives. I am looking forward to future collaboration with this supplier.Elias Bayless2023-10-18First choice for all my 3d printing needs, the team here really does a great job! Always get my filament here and it arrives really fast and always performs very well in my printer.Lyle Adams2023-10-18I recently purchased a 3D printer from this business and also took their training. Zubbin's knowledge and assistance is top-notch. He provided valuable insights not only on 3D printing but also related topics. Highly recommended!!Dylan Cooper2023-09-19Solid company to deal with. I have ordered filament multiple times from this company. I have also been advised on better filament options than what I ordered, which worked out really well. Will continue to shop here!Maarten van den Heuvel2023-08-21Good prices, fast shipping, excellent communication and when there was a hiccup with my order it was sorted super fast and to my full satisfaction.

On my most recent order there was a stellar turnaround of only 24 hours between initial stock query and the filament being in my printer.Dan King2022-09-29Shipping and packaging was excellent and best in market pricing. I had an issue with a misunderstanding about the particular properties of the resin I purchased but Zubbin responded quickly and helped me resolve the issue. Perfect customer service, they have gained a loyal customer.Mike O2022-09-12These guys are awesome. I used to buy my filament from overseas for my projects and needed something in a hurry and went looking for something local. I'm so glad I did. Not only are the prices as good or better than what I was getting overseas and even more of a deal when considering the pricing I was paying for shipping their turn around each time has been next day. Great range of in stock filaments, good prices, super fast turn around and excellent customer service.Dion Hitchens2022-08-09Kia ora, This is a fantastic business selling reliable machines at a great price point. What I am impressed with the most is that the owner is always willing to help if I have a problem his insight and knowledge he is so willing to share is always on point and allows me to solve the problem I am trying to resolve. I look forward to doing more business with them. thanksMichael Williams2022-06-28Sent them an email explaining what I was trying to achieve and asked for their advice. They responded promptly and recommend a basic 3d printer which turned out absolutely fit for purpose. Ordered online and with good communication i had printer within days. Will definitely return when I upgrade. This printing stuff is very addictive.
