PLA RepRap PT - 1.75mm 1Kg - Black

PLA is the most widely used plastic filament material in FDM 3D printing, due to its low melting point, high strength, low thermal expansion, and good layer adhesion, although it possesses poor heat resistance unless annealed.

PLA RepRap PT - 1.75mm 1Kg - Black (matt or glossy). This filament is matte at 190º-195º and glossy at 215º in some printers such as the Prusa.

PLA Features:

• PLA or polylactic acid is a material originating from renewable natural sources that contains starch or sugar, such as corn, wheat, sugar cane, beetroot or potato;

• The easiest for 3d printing;

• Generally the first filament which we start the 3d printings;

• Ideal for interior designs or prototypes;

• Good adhesion between layers;

• Suitable for contact with food; 

• Not recommended for parts that will be exposed to temperatures up 70ºC.

Printing temperatures and suggestions:

• nozzle: 190º - 215º

• bed: 0º - 60º (60º)

• Fan: 100%

• 4 to 5 top layers

For Printer maintenance:

After printing with other materials and in case of changing the filament to PLA, we suggest that you preheat the printer to the PETG or ABS temperature and then insert the PLA filament. This process prevents clogging in any transition of filament types.
