Design by 3DSets.A FarmFuel Box Redesign? Its going to be more expensive (for us). Should we do it?3D-Fuel2026-08-07 | Our current FarmFuel box (you buy a 10-pack, it comes with a prepaid return label to ship the empties back) is fine, but it could be better and more useful in your print farms.
That will also make it more expensive.
Should we do it?
And would you buy just an empty box to use in your print farm? What if it came with a return shipping label for you to send your already-on-hand empty spools back?
Let us know down in the comments what you think.

#3dprinting #madeinusaNo more 3D filament packaging or spool waste! What is FarmFuel by 3D-Fuel?3D-Fuel2026-07-14 | FarmFuel by 3D-Fuel was built to solve a simple problem for high-volume 3D print farms: too much packaging, too much waste, and too much time spent managing filament.
Each FarmFuel case contains ten 1kg spools with no individual boxes - just one streamlined case designed to get filament onto your printers faster. When the spools are empty, pack them back into the case, add the included prepaid return label, and send them back to us.
Less packaging. No refill spool assembly. Fewer disposal and recycling headaches. More time keeping your printers running.
We're starting with Midnight Black Pro PCTG and want to hear which other 3D-Fuel materials and colors you'd like us to add to the FarmFuel lineup.

We have been busy over the last few months!
We have released Pro PCTG-GF10, a glass-fiber-filled PCTG filament that, very importantly, can be colored in any of our existing Pro PCTG colors.
Let us know in the comments which colors you'd most like to see available for Pro PCTG-GF10.
We've also added 10 colors of Pro PCTG, bringing the total to 54 available colors. That's a lot of colors, and we dive into the logic behind so many colors, too.
Automation is one way we plan to keep our manufacturing costs in check, even amid industry-wide pricing instability and rising raw material costs. We'll be adding automated winders and exploring further packaging automation for our downstream packaging process.

Here's how to add a non-stock filament like Pro PCTG to your Prusa 3D printer. It's pretty quick and painless once you know how.
You can set parameters like the hotend temp, bed temp, whether it requires a hardened nozzle, whether it needs filtration, etc., too.
This makes loading the filament and setting the filament type easy! This can be very useful if you're using PrusaSlicer, as it can check the loaded filament type of any connected Prusa 3D printer.
