MatterHackers, the largest 3D printing specialty retailer in the U.S., announced Wednesday, that its bestselling standard line of 3D printing filament would now be known as “MH Build” or “MH Build Series” filament, and that prices for this newly renamed filament series would be significantly reduced moving forward.

Previously ranging from $29-$39 and now starting at just $19 per one kilogram spool with 100% free shipping in the U.S., MH Build Series filament comes fully backed by MatterHackers’ Success Guarantee, which includes both a satisfaction guarantee as well as phone and email access to MatterHackers’ specialized staff of support technicians. MH Build is available in PLA, ABS, and PETG filament.

Materials and pricing include:

- $19-22 for MH Build Series ABS  filament

- $20-23 for MH Build Series PLA filament

- $25-28 for MH Build Series PETG filament

This reduction in price is driven by decreased production costs as MatterHackers continues to gain market share and adoption within the still rapidly growing 3D printing market.

“We’re passing cost savings back to the customer,” stated Kevin Pope, COO of MatterHackers, “Our goal is to make 3D printing as affordable and accessible as possible, and now, thanks to efficiencies of scale, we are able to offer the same quality experience as before, for a lower price.”

The rebranding of MatterHackers in-house filament to MH Build comes as part of an effort to distinguish the material from other items in MatterHackers’ ever-growing online marketplace.

“Previously customers referred to our standard line of filament as ‘MatterHackers PLA’ or ‘MatterHackers ABS’,” noted Jon Formby, MatterHackers’ Director of Retail Operations, “but as our catalog grew to encompass more and more material options, this became confusing and we realized that we needed a way for people to distinguish our staple PLA, ABS and PETG products, along with their associated mark of quality performance.”

In addition to MH Build, MatterHackers online quality-assured filament offerings include brands such as Ultimaker, Colorfabb, and NinjaTek, specialty materials such as NylonX, as well as MatterHackers’ own ultra-high-quality PRO Series line, which is geared towards professional users.
