PLA Filamten
PLA (polylactic acid) filament for 3d printing is a versatile, easy-to-use material and is usually used in 3D printing. PLA filament is bio-plastic, which means that it is a renewable and biodegradable material. As a biodegradable material, it is much better for the environment, especially in comparison with petrochemical alternatives (eg. ABS). For good results, it is necessary to print at a temperature of 190-210°C and the printing table should be heated to 50-60°C. Please note that the temperature range of the print media may slightly differ depending on the used printer.
Our PLA filament for printers is specially designed to make it easy to use for all beginners and novices. We recommend that a newcomer keeps using the PLA printing filament because it is truly the most accessible and easy to use one. Its advantages are that it is odorless and does not require necessarily a heated table while printing. It is a good material because it does not shrink while printing, so it sticks nicely on the printing table. ABS filament is a good alternative, but it does shrink, so you could have more problems with the grip of the filament on the printing table. PLA filament is a material that is distinguished by a gloss finish, and therefore it is also used for the printing of decorative elements.
Our PLA filament is compatible with almost all 3D printers, including RepRap and MakerBot printers, Ultimaker, Bits from Bytes, Airwolf3D, Makergear, Printrbot, Bukobot, Type A Machines and many more.
