Prusament PLA: you can make “Noctua” 3D accessories at home

And here it is! Consumable material in Noctua shades. The Austrians teamed up with Prusa Research and, after some preparation, are bringing a 3D-printing filament to market. Once you model whatever you need, the result can be printed in brown or beige—exactly in the colors that match what has so far been “unmatchable”. Naturally, it doesn’t have to be just cooling-related items; the outcome can be anything.

They searched and found the right shades for producing filament—ones that cover the color scheme of Noctua products. In cooperation with Prusa Research, you can now get filament in beige as well as brown. The very same colors that characterize Noctua’s products.

These filaments, or consumables (basically the material intended for printing), are meant for users of FDM printers. On these, it’s possible to 3D-print objects in Noctua colors. Typically that might be frames, tunnels, or even something entirely unrelated to PC cooling. There are plenty of possibilities, and it’s up to each user what they plan to print in these shades. Before that, of course, you need to model the object or have it modeled for you.

And even if you don’t own a 3D printer, there may be someone who does and who can materialize your idea—where the key element is the filament, specifically Prusament. Under this name you’ll find material that can be used, for example, to print a deflector for Noctua NV-FS1 desk fans. It always comes as a spool in two variants—Prusament PLA Noctua Beige and Prusament PLA Noctua Brown.

With Noctua-colored filament, you can print cases (though from multiple pieces that will need to be joined) or keyboard keycaps.

Noctua itself uses 3D printing to make its prototypes. We asked about this at Computex 2025, where the information originated that filaments in these shades were in development.

Prusament PLA Noctua Beige and Prusament PLA Noctua Brown come in one-kilogram spools. The price is 33 EUR, the same as the other available colors.

The end, or just the beginning? 100 fans in HWCooling tests

Our database now includes one hundred fans—75 in the 120 mm format and 25 models with a physical size of 140 mm. In this article, we have compiled all data into unified charts. What was once separated for clarity is now brought together again, and the commentary will also include a… look ahead regarding fan testing. But we can already reveal that there is still a lot more to come. Read more “The end, or just the beginning? 100 fans in HWCooling tests” »

Results are in: a Prusa (MK4) 3D printer with Noctua colors

We have it. 3D prints made from Prusament filament in Noctua colors. What was announced last year has now become reality, and we’re glad that, thanks to access to a school-based printer, we managed to produce items such as a broom holder used for maintaining the hardware classroom. What it looks like can be seen in the article’s documentation. On behalf of the HWCooling team, we thank everyone for the cooperation.

Changes to Noctua’s roadmap. Hardware plan from January 2026

The updated Noctua roadmap brings changes that will certainly not please fans of silent cooling and black aesthetics. The Chromax version of the NF-A12x25 G2 has been pushed back. Likewise, the compact PSU being developed in cooperation with Seasonic is shifting its arrival by another quarter. Fortunately, development of Noctua’s first AIO and the collaboration with Antec remain relatively stable, and the planned market entry is a positive signal. Read more “Changes to Noctua’s roadmap.
