1. Fil X
This company is based in Cape Town. Run by Dominique, she is really competent and they manufacture all there filament locally.

This company is based in Durban, but don’t be afraid to order online as their logistics are generally very good. Fastway couriers are always on the ball with my shipments across SA.
They stock a wide range of filaments like CCTREE, Esun, filamentum, SA Filament and SunLu. If you own a Ender 3 the CCTREE is probably one of the best cheap filaments I’ve used.

5. 3D Drone

This company is located in Roodepoort and as far as I am aware were the first suppliers to make 3d printing filament in South Africa.
If you want to support local this is the company for you. They do have a lead time on filament as they manufacture on demand, but this shouldn’t stop you from buying.
