Noctua and Prusa Research have introduced two new 3D printing filaments in the iconic Noctua colors. The Prusament PLA Noctua Beige and Noctua Brown combine Prusa’s high-quality manufacturing with the characteristic brown-beige design of Noctua fans. This innovation makes it easier for PC modders and makers to create perfectly colored components for custom builds.
- Prusament PLA Noctua Beige and Brown with precisely matched colors to Noctua fans for seamless integration into projects.
- In-house production in Prague with tolerances of ±0.02 mm for highest precision and color accuracy.
- Easy handling, low warpage tendency and smooth surfaces – ideal for beginners and professionals.
- Perfect for Noctua models on Printables.com, PC cases or DIY applications with fans.
The collaboration between Noctua and Prusa
The cooperation between Noctua and Prusa Research arose from the enthusiasm of the maker community for Noctua products. Until now, many hobbyists have tried to color-match 3D printed parts to the characteristic beige and brown tones of the fans without achieving perfect results. Now, the new filaments offer a precise solution that minimizes the rate content. Noctua CEO Roland Mossig emphasizes the appreciation for community projects that use fans in new applications. Prusa’s founder Josef Prusa emphasizes how these filaments help PC builders and modders to build visually consistent systems.
Both variants are manufactured in Prusa’s own production facility in Prague. This ensures consistent quality through continuous monitoring, tight tolerances and maximum color fidelity. The filaments are ideal for prints of different sizes thanks to their high hardness, low tendency to warp and attractive matt surface. They can be used in a variety of applications, from fan nozzles to spacers and individual housings.
Advantages for PC builders and makers
The strength of Prusament PLA Noctua Beige and Brown lies in their perfect color match to Noctua’s range. Developed in close collaboration, they enable prints that seamlessly match fans – be it for official models on Printables.com such as grilles or airflow amplifiers or for custom PCs and Raspberry Pi cases. The easy-to-handle PLA formula reduces problems such as warping and ensures professional results, even with larger objects.
Noctua already offers a variety of 3D models that can be ideally implemented with these filaments. For gaming rigs or silent workstations, they open up new design possibilities without compromising on cooling performance or appearance. The filaments are also equipped with NFC-capable spools that facilitate compatibility with multi-color printers and optimize drying processes.
The launch underlines the trend towards modular, customizable PC builds. At a time when custom mods are more popular than ever, Noctua and Prusa deliver a tool that encourages creativity. The high printability makes it accessible, while the quality convinces professionals.
Availability and price
Prusament PLA Noctua Beige and Noctua Brown are available immediately in the Prusa online store. Each 1 kg spool costs 32.99 EUR (incl. VAT) or 32.99 USD (incl. customs duties). These filaments complete Noctua’s ecosystem and invite creative projects that combine performance and aesthetics.
