40 Colors 3D Printer Pen Filament , PLA Filament 1.75 Mm For 3D Printer / 3D Pen

PLA (Polylactic Acid) Filament is one of the two most commonly used desktop 3D printing materials (with the other being ABS). It is the ‘default’ recommended material for many desktop 3D printers, and with good reason - PLA is useful in a broad range of printing applications, has the virtue of being both odorless and low-warp, and does not require a heated bed. PLA plastic is also one of the more eco-friendly 3D printer materials available; it is a bioplastic, which means it is made from renewable natural resources, such as corn starch and tapioca products. As a biodegradable material it is much better for the environment and requires less energy to process compared traditional (petroleum-based) plastics, especially compared to petrochemical-based alternatives (such as ABS). . Outside of 3D printing, PLA plastic is often used in food containers, such as candy wrappers and biodegradable medical implants, such as sutures. PLA filament for 3D Printing is available in a wide range of colors in both 1.75mm and 3mm and 2.85mm.

PLA is biodegradable and is the most environmentally friendly 3D printing material you can find. As 3D printing turns into the next industrial revolution, printing with environmentally friendly materials like PLA will become increasingly important. PLA naturally degrades when exposed to the environment. If PLA is placed in the ocean, it will fully degrade within 6 months to 2 years. Contrast that to conventional plastics which take 1000 years and you can see why PLA is such an environmental hero. At the same time PLA maintains incredibly strength and holds up very well well used in normal household applications.

Product Features

1.75mm Filament Diameter (Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.05mm)

PLA (Polylactic acid) 3D Printer Filament Vacuumed Sealed With Desiccant

Recommended Extrusion/Nozzle Temperature 190C - 230C, Use Without Heated Build Platform Is Recommended

PLA (Polylactic acid) is thermoplastic aliphatic polyester made of renewable resources like corn or starch. Its extrusion-temperature is much lower than ABS, and most often doesn’t require a heated bed. It has the following characteristics:

Good toughness high strength, high stiffness ;

No block nozzle, good stick hot bed, a smooth PLA used

Can be processed at 185 degrees

Low shrinkage, thermoforming dimensional stability
