Sticks, Coils, or Spool: Which 3D Clean Format? – 3D-Fuel

3D Clean comes in several formats in 1.75 mm and 2.85 mm. The material is the same in all of them.

Format	What you get	Best for
Tube of 8-inch sticks	50 sticks (1.75 mm) or 35 sticks (2.85 mm), about 25 g, with desiccant	Printers with easy access to the extruder
25 g coil	A continuous length, fed externally	Enclosed printers and printers that need a long length to load
100 g coil	A larger continuous length	Frequent material changes. Hand-wound, so it's rarely in stock.
1 kg spool (1.75 mm)	A full spool	Print farms, multi-material setups, and AMS use

Sticks

Sticks were our original format, designed when extruders sat only a few inches above the nozzle. Feed a stick through, then either feed your next filament in behind it, or push the stick as far as you can, reverse it out, and toss the remainder.

Coils and spools

A coil lets you feed 3D Clean without opening the printer or reaching the extruder.

Some customers love keeping a spool loaded in an AMS slot so 3D Clean is always ready for material changes. In our experience that isn't the most practical way to use it, but it works.
