How much use will I get out of a filament strand?

One filament strand stretches to a maximum of ten times its original length once extruded by the pen. Start Eco-filament strands are 6 inches / 15 cm long, meaning you'll get around 60 inches / 150cm of Doodling. Create+ / PRO+ filament strands are cut at 10 inches / 25cm in length, providing you with around 100 inches / 250cm of Doodling - allowing for hours of play in each pack! The exact length will depend on how fast you draw and how thick or thin the line of extruded filament is. You can refer to our our Gallery here to see details of how many Eco-Filament strands were used to complete various Doodles and Projects.
