# What are the best filament brands in Europe/UK/Australia?

These comments do not rank a European, UK, or Australian brand. One comment says Prusament is good and not cheap, and that shipping a single roll costs more than shipping several. Another prefers Polymaker and mentions Aurapol as a Czech budget PLA. The other quoted thread is about old PLA, not a country.

A country is not a material grade. [Filament quality](/answers/filament_quality) is how to judge a spool once it arrives. [Prusament](/answers/brand_prusament) and [Polymaker](/answers/brand_polymaker) already have their own pages. [Budget filament](/answers/cheap) is the price conversation, and these rows still have an empty price per kilogram.
## Rows for brands the bank associates with this question

[Prusament PLA](/brand/prusament/pla) stores 205–225 °C (401–437 °F) and a bed of 40–60 °C (104–140 °F) from the Open Filament Database. The score-17 comment is what calls it good and not cheap. [PolyLite PLA](/brand/polymaker/polylite-pla) stores 190–230 °C (374–446 °F) from that database. The product page checked 14 October 2026 lists a bed of 25–60 °C (77–140 °F) and drying at 55 °C (131 °F) for 6 h.
