Want to try awesome SPECIALTY filament without breaking the bank?
WE DO TOO! That's why we started Filapack. We were tired of spending lots of money on filaments we weren't even sure were going to work with our 3D Printers.
Or, if you HELP us reach our goal, EVERYONE will be able to choose what filament samples they want every month from our partnering companies! We will simply send out a survey every month with all of our partnering companies filament and you choose 4 samples that you want to try out. It's that simple.
Take this for instance:
![]()
$118 for only 500g of filament.
Now you can test your filament before you buy it!
Then, after you find a filament that you like, you can simply go through our website and buy through us at a discount. Help make our project a reality!
The question everyone wants to know.
What types of filament will you be receiving? We have partnered up with some of the top 3D printing filament companies like
Voltivo,
Proto Pasta, Form Futura, Rep Rapper Tech, 3DomUSA, 3D Fuel, Clean Strands and many more so that we can get you a great variety every month.
Here are just some examples of what you will be receiving at such a low cost:
ExcelFil™ – High Grade PLA and ABS 3D Printing Filaments

What We Need & What You Get
In order for Filapack to ship out filament samples that people want every month and keep it affordable for everyone, we need to get the right equipment, inventory, and partnering companies.
When you help us get funded we will be able to establish ourselves as a more reliable company which will help us get more partnering companies so that you can get the filament samples that you want each month at a low cost. How awesome is that! Help us fund this project, every amount counts! You will also allow us to stop breaking the filament down into 50 gram samples by hand and help us get the right equipment so that we can keep our prices affordable for everyone. Let's work together to get this project funded. And once we're funded simply let us know what filament size (1.75mm or 3mm) you want shipped every month and it will arrive! Also, every subscription has FREE U.S. SHIPPING!

The Impact
Everyone hates wasting money, time, and filament. By backing us we will be able to solve all three of those problems by allowing you to try unique and awesome filament at a very low cost, which you most likely wouldn't have purchased other wise. Help us reach our goal and you can choose what filament samples you want every month!
Your contribution will help bring jobs, happy faces, and a beautiful woman (My Wife) who is about to have a baby in July some comfort knowing that things are going to be all right.
Risks & Challenges
There has been a lot of time put into getting partnering companies together to work with us at a low cost to help keep it affordable for everyone. Now that we have the partnering companies, we need your help! We are confident in our partners, however, we do feel that there are a few challenges.
First Challenge is the fulfillment process. Once we have reached our goal on Indiegogo we will start receiving filament spools and breaking them down into 50 gram samples. We have confidence in our partners getting us the spool amounts needed but we know there can be unexpected time delays with producing the filament. We will do our best in this aspect to get our partners shipping us the spools as soon as we reach our Indiegogo goal so that we can make sure to get any delays out of the way early.
Second Challenge is to accurately cut and weigh our filament samples. Currently we have been cutting the filament samples by hand into 50 gram samples and weighing them on a scale. We are confident that with the right equipment we can get them into 50 gram samples cheaper and quicker to make it affordable for everyone.
The Third Challenge is customer confidence and satisfaction. We want to make sure that once our backers have our product and are printing with the samples, that they feel like they can count on us every month to continue to deliver to their expectations. We will continue finding out what samples from what companies people are wanting, so that we can do all we can to make sure to get them every month.
We want to make sure you, the backer, is confident and happy with your purchase!
