Sterilite 6 Pack Gasket Box, Stackable Storage Bin with Latching Lid, 20 Quart

The 20 quart bin size fits spools of filament in a neat row and helps to keep the weight down. You can get larger sizes for storing more spools or other items. The gasket is important to help minimize moisture and dust.

Filament: PLA 1.75mm 1KG Spools

All of the 3D printers we have in the district take 1.75mm filament, which you can find on Amazon. Look for the 1KG spools to avoid mini or sample sizes. We recommend matte white for printing items students will color after printing. If you want more fun colors, look for dual or tri extrusion. PLA+ or PLA Pro are also compatible. Do not get refill spools!

Flexible Filament: TPU 1.75mm Spools

If you are printing squishies or quiet fidgets, look for TPU filament in 1.75mm size. If you don't need much, the 250MG spools are smaller and cheaper, but the 1K spools are standard size and often better priced per unit.
