Our Filament Versions (V1–V5)

Not all SIDDAMENT filament comes from one factory. We work with up to 17 manufacturers — but five do the heavy lifting. Here’s the honest rundown of each, so you can pick the perfect roll.

V1The original

Our founding supplier — affordable, and the widest colour range we stock.

Consistency Value Stock
  • The company we’ve printed with for the last 7 years.
  • Over 500 custom colours — by far the biggest palette we carry.
  • Great value and almost always in stock.
  • The honest trade-off: colour can drift slightly batch to batch — roughly 2–3 in every 100 colours come back a touch off. With 500+ custom colours that’s a genuinely hard problem, and they’re always working on it.

Best for: Everyday printing, maximum colour choice, and projects where a small colour shift won’t matter.

V2Siddament V2

Our OEM-grade line — the most consistent colour we sell.

Consistency Value Stock
  • Sold as Siddament V2 — a newer partner that manufactures filament for large OEMs.
  • Very consistent colour batch to batch.
  • Spools are colour-coded to the filament type — tell PLA, PETG and ABS apart at a glance on the shelf.
  • Supports the Prusa open print tag — your Prusa can auto-load the right settings.
  • Comes on splittable, reusable spools — less waste, refill-friendly.
  • Double-dried at the factory, so it usually prints perfectly straight out of the bag.
  • The catch: it’s a fast mover and sells out quickly.

Best for: Long or multi-roll projects, colour-critical work, and anyone who just wants plug-and-play reliability.

V3Nature 3D

Our specialist for sparkle, matte and burnt-titanium finishes.

Consistency Value Stock
  • A 4-year partner of ours.
  • The maker behind our sparkle, matte and burnt-titanium finishes.
  • Excellent colour accuracy and seriously vibrant ranges.
  • A batch can be defective now and then, but it’s rare.

Best for: Vibrant, eye-catching, decorative prints and standout special finishes.

Great choice when the look of the part matters as much as the function.

V4Kexcelled

The premium tier — consistency and precision you can rely on.

Consistency Value Stock
  • Also known as North Bridge — a true premium maker.
  • Some of the best PLA in dark, muddy earth tones anywhere.
  • Some of the best matte ABS in the world.
  • Extremely consistent with high precision.
  • It costs more — but you’re paying for results that land right, every time.

Best for: High-precision and demanding prints, functional/engineering parts, and muted earthy palettes.

When the result simply has to be spot on, this is the one.

V5Sting 3D

Fills the gaps in our range with extra OEM colours.

Consistency Value Stock
  • Carries a wide range of OEM colours that fill the gaps in our current line-up.
  • Great colour range.
  • A costlier company, and quality can vary a little batch to batch.

Best for: Tracking down a specific colour we don’t otherwise carry.

Think of V5 as our gap-filler for those hard-to-find shades.

How to choose

“I want the widest colour choice and best price” V1
“Colour has to match across a big or long project” V2 or V4
“I want sparkle, matte or special finishes” V3
“I need premium precision or engineering parts” V4
“I need a specific colour you don’t normally stock” V5

Our pick? They’re all great — but for the most consistent results every time, we’d point you at V2 and Kexcelled (V4).
