    Ranked by median price per kg, cheapest first; "All filament" is every material together. The bar marks the median within the middle half of listings. "vs last month" compares medians; "like for like" follows the same listings in both months; "vs a year ago" compares the median with the same month last year. Highlighted cells are the best in each column. Materials need 5 listings to be ranked; tap a heading to sort.

    Filament prices: common questions

    Answers from the October 2025 figures.

    How much does PLA filament cost in the UK?

    In October 2025 the median PLA listing on Amazon UK and Eryone UK cost £13.59/kg, and the middle half of listings cost between £11.89 and £14.99 per kg. That's from 194 listings in SpoolDeal's price index, as of 31 Oct 2025.

    What is a good price for PLA filament per kg?

    Under £11.89/kg is cheaper than three in four PLA listings we track (October 2025). The cheapest brand per kg was iSANMATE, at a median of £10.72/kg. Compare by price per kg, not per spool: spool sizes and multi-packs vary.

    Is 3D printer filament getting cheaper?

    Across all filament the median was £14.99/kg in October 2025, down 6.3% on the month before. Like for like, following the same listings, prices were down 2.8%.

    Are filament multi-packs cheaper than single spools?

    PLA multi-packs cost £10.87/kg, 20% less than single spools (£13.59/kg); PLA Silk Dual/Tri multi-packs cost about the same per kg as single spools (£16.99/kg); PLA Matte multi-packs cost £12.00/kg, 15% less than single spools (£14.11/kg), in October 2025.

    How much do filament prices really drop on Prime Day and Black Friday?

    Prime Big Deal Days 2025: prices barely moved from their usual price, with 45% of listings at least 5% off. The usual price is each listing's own median over the 30 days before the event, from our price history, not the retailer's "was" price.

    Can I use these figures?

    Methodology

    What's covered. The filament listings SpoolDeal tracks on Amazon UK and Eryone UK, not every UK shop. We check prices through the day and keep every change, so each listing has a price for every day: the one in effect at noon (UTC). It's the lowest price on offer, including Prime members' prices where those are lower, with VAT. Dividing by the filament weight on the listing (a multi-pack counts every spool) gives a price per kilogram.

    How a month is worked out. A listing's price for a month is the median of its days; it needs at least seven days of prices. A material's figure is the median across its listings, and "All filament" is the median across every listing. Listings under £4/kg or over £250/kg are left out as mispriced. Materials are grouped as the listings name them (PLA, PLA+, PLA Silk and so on).

    Change. "vs last month" and "vs a year ago" compare medians, so they move when listings come and go. "Like for like" follows only the listings priced in both months: the geometric mean of each listing's own change, the method the ONS uses for the Consumer Prices Index. "Now vs usual" compares a month's median with the median of the months before it, up to a year.

    Brands, multi-packs and sales. A brand is ranked on the median of its listings of that material (at least two). Multi-packs include single spools of 2 kg or more; the single-spool and multi-pack figures each need three listings. A sales event's discount compares each listing's lowest price during the event with its own median over the 30 days before (at least 14 days of prices); it never uses the retailer's "was" price. Event dates are the retailer's announced dates.

    Revisions. The last 13 months are recomputed every night from the full history, so the running month is provisional and a recent month can shift slightly as late price changes arrive. Older months are frozen, and every month keeps its own page.

    Reuse. Free under CC BY 4.0: credit "SpoolDeal UK filament price index" with a link to the month's page. Data: materials CSV and brands CSV. Questions: james@trinkify.co.uk.
