Compare within one material. Price per kilogram divides the price by the total filament weight in the title (pounds are converted at 1 lb = 0.4536 kg, and a multipack counts every spool). Spools of 750 g and 800 g are common and are not read as 1 kg. Listings that state no weight, or several weights, are left out. How to compare filament by price per kg.

How to choose nylon filament
What to look for
- Read the Total weight column, not just the price: a 750 g or 800 g spool is divided by its own weight, so it is not treated as 1 kg.
- Check the Diameter filter: most listings are 1.75 mm, and a spool of the wrong diameter will not work with a printer set up for the other size, however low the price per kilogram.
- Check whether the title says PA-CF or carbon fiber; those listings are ranked on the carbon fiber page, not here.
- Look at the grade in the title (PA6, PA12) if you need a particular one; it is not shown as a column.
- Compare spool weights first, because nylon is often sold on smaller spools.
