Figured I’d contribute with resources I’ve used and found really solid, not everything is made in Canada but all are Canadian businesses with fantastic customer service.
Filament
- Matter3D Langford BC based manufacturer, they make some solid quality filament and promote themselves as engineering grade material. Their abs has low odor, petg prints really well, haven’t tried their nylon yet but I have a few spools to work with. Their prices are extremely reasonable and they have regular sales, my go to supplier
Parts, kits, etc.
- Spool3D Calgary AB based store, Canada wide through canpost for free over $140. I live in Ontario, but most of my purchases are from them, solid selection of material, parts and accessories. My voron was sourced with parts 90% from here, they also have solid filament, sell garolite sheets too for a build surface (trying to move away from using builtak, they’re a solid product but I won’t be buying American for the foreseeable future)
- 3d lab tech another in Calgary, the other 10% of my voron came from here. Lots of kits and high quality parts, highly recommend, extremely responsive too and they constantly have new, interesting stuff.
- Sparta 3D Brampton Ontario based, again, lots of kits and high quality parts, have quality filter carbon as well if you’re looking for a good Canadian supplier of acid-free material. They have filament as well, haven’t had an opportunity to use it yet however.
- Makerparts they’re moving so unfortunately site looks to be closed for now, BC based, they’re all sorts of maker related stuff, not just printing. I bought a bear mod kit for my prusa from them, again, solid product and great to work with.
When I started out, I bought a few spools of M3D, and they were really good, so I buy it whenever I can. Works really well for me, and it’s as good or better than similarly priced filament.
To add to the list: https://alphaplay.ca/collections/filament in Winnipeg. Mail order and bricks-and-mortar shop.
Their house brand filament is made in Canada.
And they’re a dealer for Prusa and Creality.
The Filaments.ca house brand in PLA used to be Made in Canada but I don’t see that advertised anymore, so it might not still be the case. It actually still says “Made in Canada” in the HTML <meta> description for their Econofil line but I don’t see it on the page.
IIRC their house brand was also the same as 3dprintingcanada.com. All my information is from about 5 years ago so it could be totally incorrect today.
You reminded me about Canadian Filaments, used their carbon capture petg and pla before, prints well but does like a slightly larger nozzle. They’re out of Edmonton I think.
Very happy to have multiple sources in Canada for filament if only for shipping, importing prusament is brutally expensive the one time I did that. Thanks for the recommendations.
Awesome, will take a look at them next time I order!
3dprintingcanada.com seems fairly expensive, at least for most filaments, but they’re based in Ontario.
Maple3d.com is also generally expensive but sometimes has good deals, based in BC.
3dprintingcanada is the closest to me, been meaning to look at them, thanks for the recommendations!
