Specification: Printing technology: FDM, Printing material: PLA, Mechanical specifications: None, Color: Silver, Weight: 1kg, Diameter: 2.85mm, Polylactic acid resin has minimal warping, so it can be printed without a heated bed. If a heated bed is used, the recommended temperature is approximately 35-60 Celsius degrees. PLA can be used on all common desktop FDM or FFF technology 3D printers. RS PRO 3D Printer Filament PLA 2.85 mm, 1 kg. Polylactic acid (PLA): a biodegradable plastic produced from renewable natural resources, and one of the most commonly used materials for 3D printing. Plastics like PLA are simple, highly dimensionally accurate, and low-cost, making them the most common 3D printing materials. PLA can be shaped at low temperatures, does not require a heated bed, and is one of the most environmentally friendly filaments. PLA is a durable and easy-to-use high-quality PLA type filament, ideal for 3D printing. With slight improvements, this filament retains typical PLA characteristics while becoming even more robust and less brittle. PLA has a low shrinkage rate and does not deform after cooling. This RS Pro Series PLA 3D printing material is available in various colors. 832-0260 Natural color, 832-0264 Black, 832-0270 Red, 832-0273 White, 832-0276 Blue, 832-0282 Yellow, 832-0286 Orange, 832-0289 Green, 832-0292 Gold, 832-0295 Silver, 832-0298 Pink, 832-0302 Gray, 832-0305 Fluorescent Yellow, 832-0309 Fluorescent Orange, 832-0318 Fluorescent Dark Green. Features and Advantages: More durable and less brittle than standard PLA, easy to print at low temperatures, minimal warping, biodegradable from crops like corn and sugarcane unlike ABS filament, less odor, long shelf life. Proper storage is necessary to maintain filament quality. Over time, moisture absorption causes tiny bubbles in the plastic, which can heat and reach boiling point in the extruder nozzle, damaging the print. Using a desiccant dehumidifier is highly recommended. Storage location: in a cool, dry place (15-25 Celsius degrees), away from UV light. This significantly extends shelf life. Typical applications: PLA is used in a wide range of applications including general modeling, hobbyists, medical, education, prototyping, jewelry, architectural models, aerospace industry, engineering, automotive industry. FAQs: What materials can be used for 3D printing? Various materials such as PLA, ABS resin, polyamide (nylon), glass-filled polyamide, stereolithography resins (epoxy resin), silver, titanium, steel, wax, photopolymer, and polycarbonate. What is the cheapest 3D printing material? PLA and ABS are the most affordable.
