Noctua and Prusa Research Partner to Release 3-D Printing Filament in Iconic Beige and Brown Colors

There’s no denying the loyal customer base Noctua has gained over the years, and now they can print custom parts in the iconic colors to match components in their builds. Noctua has partnered with the equally well-established 3D Printer manufacturer, Prusa Research, to offer PETG filament in either beige or brown. Now, while we do not normally cover 3D printing stories, this one is a bit unique in that it means folks who are aiming to design a build using Noctua’s colors have more options to do so. From replacing shrouds on GPUs, coolers, possibly PSUs, and some chassis parts, there are many possibilities and some component manufacturers even offer print files and others can sometimes be obtained from within the 3D printing community.

“We’ve already seen amazing projects come to life using the Noctua-coloured PLA Prusaments”, says Roland Mossig, CEO of Noctua. “The new PETG materials are stronger and can withstand higher temperatures, so we can’t wait to see what users will create with them.”

“Just like the previous PLA filaments, the new Prusament PETG Noctua Beige and Noctua Brown materials have been carefully fine-tuned for maximum consistency with Noctua’s signature colours so that you can take the guesswork out of colour-matching your prints with Noctua fans.”

Noctua explains that while it could’ve used PLA, a material commonly chosen for its ease of printing, it decided to work with Prusa Research to add its colors to PETG instead. This is due to PETG’s improved toughness and temperature resistance, thus allowing it to be used in environments that exceed 50°C. Prusa adds that “This guarantees flawless, consistent quality with extremely tight tolerances (±0.02mm), maximum colour accuracy and continuous monitoring.”

The new filaments can be found at Prusa3D (beige, brown) for $32.99 per spool. Now it’ll probably only be a matter of time until PC and 3D printing enthusiast begin flooding the internet with images of the new colors being used in their builds.
