What temperature should I print Inland PLA at?

Print Inland PLA at 200–210°C nozzle and 60°C bed as a starting point. Inland PLA prints on the cooler end — 205°C is a reliable starting point for most printers. If you see underextrusion or layer delamination, raise by 5°C. If you see stringing or blobs, lower by 5°C. Inland PLA is forgiving and consistent, making it one of the best value options for US buyers at Micro Center.

Is Inland filament good quality?

Inland is Micro Center's house brand and offers very good quality for the price — often the best cost-per-spool ratio of any US-available filament when purchased in-store. Diameter consistency is good (±0.03 mm). The filament is widely trusted by hobbyists for prototyping, functional parts, and general printing. It is not in the same tier as Prusament or Polymaker for tight-tolerance engineering work, but outperforms many Amazon-only brands at the same price.

Where can I buy Inland filament?

Inland filament is sold exclusively through Micro Center stores in the US and microcenter.com online. It is not available on Amazon or other retailers. Prices are typically $12–18 per 1 kg spool in-store, making it one of the most affordable quality filaments available to US buyers. Online orders may have higher shipping costs that reduce the price advantage.

Does Inland make good PETG?

Yes — Inland PETG is reliable and consistent. Print at 235–245°C nozzle, 80°C bed on textured PEI, fan at 30–50%, and use combing mode to minimize stringing. Keep retraction speed at 25 mm/s. It performs comparably to Hatchbox and eSUN PETG at the same price point, with good layer adhesion and impact resistance.

Bed surfaceSmooth PEI, glass, BuildTak

Inland PLA is the Micro Center house brand — one of the most affordable quality filaments in the US. Prints reliably at 200–210°C on most printers. White and black colors are particularly consistent. Diameter tolerance is good for the price (±0.03 mm).

PLA+ (Tough PLA)

Nozzle temp210–230°CStart at 220°C

Retraction1–2 mm (DD) / 5–6 mm (Bowden)45 mm/s

Fan100%

Print speed45–70 mm/s

Bed surfaceSmooth PEI, glass

Inland Tough PLA is their PLA+ variant. 10°C warmer than their standard PLA for good layer bonding. More impact resistant and less brittle — good for functional parts at standard PLA ease of printing.

PETG

Nozzle temp230–250°CStart at 240°C

Bed temp70–85°CStart at 80°C

Retraction1–2 mm (DD) / 5–7 mm (Bowden)25 mm/s

Fan30–50%

Print speed35–55 mm/s

Bed surfaceTextured PEI, glass + glue

Inland PETG is straightforward at 240°C on most printers. Use combing mode to minimize stringing. Keep fan at 30–50% — lower than PLA for good interlayer bonding. Textured PEI is preferred; smooth PEI will bond aggressively and can damage the surface.

ABS

Nozzle temp230–250°CStart at 240°C

Bed temp100–110°CStart at 105°C

Retraction1–2 mm (DD) / 5–7 mm (Bowden)30 mm/s

Fan0%

Print speed40–60 mm/s

Bed surfaceSmooth PEI + ABS slurry, Kapton tape

Inland ABS follows standard ABS requirements — enclosure is essential for large parts. Disable fan completely. Use an ABS slurry (ABS in acetone) on smooth PEI. Inland ABS is known for good layer adhesion when printed correctly.

TPU 95A

Nozzle temp220–240°CStart at 230°C

Bed temp40–60°CStart at 50°C

Retraction0–1 mm (DD only)20 mm/s

Fan100%

Print speed20–30 mm/s

Bed surfaceSmooth PEI, glass

Inland TPU 95A requires direct drive. Print at 20–25 mm/s maximum. Zero or minimal retraction (0.5 mm) to prevent grinding and clogs. Good flexibility and durability for the price — a popular choice for Micro Center shoppers wanting to try flexible filament.

PLA Matte

Nozzle temp200–220°CStart at 210°C

Bed temp55–65°CStart at 60°C

Retraction1–2 mm (DD) / 4–6 mm (Bowden)40 mm/s

Fan100%

Print speed40–70 mm/s

Bed surfaceSmooth PEI, glass

Inland Matte PLA is a popular value option. Matte surfaces hide layer lines better than standard PLA. Same settings as regular PLA with no special adjustments needed. The matte finish requires slightly slower outer wall speeds (40–50 mm/s) for the best texture.

Inland quick tips

Print cooler than average: Inland PLA runs 5–10°C cooler than many brands. Start at 200–205°C rather than the typical 210–215°C default. Too much heat causes stringing and blobs before you will see underextrusion.
In-store vs. online pricing: Inland's value proposition is in-store pricing at Micro Center. Online orders include shipping costs that significantly reduce the price advantage. If you're near a Micro Center, pick up spools in person.
Matte PLA for clean models: Inland Matte PLA hides layer lines better than glossy PLA. Slow outer walls to 40–50 mm/s for the best matte texture. No slicer changes needed beyond outer wall speed.
Store filament properly: Inland vacuum-seals their filament but the bags are not resealable. Transfer to airtight containers with desiccant — especially important in humid climates for PETG and ABS.
ABS: enclosure is not optional: Inland ABS will warp on open-frame printers for anything wider than ~50 mm. Use ASA or PETG as a warping-resistant substitute if you don't have an enclosure.
