Specification: Printing Technology: FDM, Printing Material: PLA, Color: Dark Blue, Weight: 2.3kg, Diameter: 1.75mm. Polylactic acid resin has low warping, so printing is possible without a heated bed. When using a heated bed, the recommended temperature is approximately 35-60 degrees Celsius. PLA can be used with all common desktop FDM or FFF technology 3D printers. RS PRO 3D Printer Filament PLA 1.75 mm, 2.3 Kg. Polylactic Acid (PLA): a biodegradable plastic derived from renewable natural resources and one of the most common materials used in 3D printing. Plastics like PLA are simple, dimensionally accurate, and low cost, making them the most common 3D printing material. PLA can be printed at low temperatures without a heated bed and is one of the most environmentally friendly filaments. PLA is a robust and easy-to-use high-quality PLA filament type, ideal for 3D printing. With slight improvements, this filament maintains typical PLA characteristics while becoming tougher and less brittle. PLA has a low shrinkage rate, so it does not deform after cooling. This RS Pro Series PLA 3D printing material is available in a variety of colors: 125-4335 Black, 125-4337 White, 125-4339 Dark Blue, 125-4341 Red, 125-4343 Silver.
Features and Benefits: Stronger and less brittle than regular PLA, easy to print at low temperature, low warping, biodegradable as it is made from crops like corn and sugarcane unlike ABS filament, low odor, long shelf life. To maintain filament quality, proper storage is important. Over time, plastic absorbs moisture from the air causing small bubbles in the filament. When these bubbles are heated in the extruder nozzle, they quickly reach boiling point and degrade print quality. Use of a desiccant dehumidifier is strongly recommended.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place (15-25 degrees Celsius) away from UV light to significantly extend shelf life.
Typical Applications: PLA is used in a wide range of 3D printing applications including general modeling, hobbyists, medical, education, prototyping, jewelry, architectural models, aerospace, engineering, and automotive industries.
Frequently Asked Questions: What materials can be used for 3D printing? Various materials can be used for 3D printing such as PLA, ABS resin, polyamide (nylon), glass-filled polyamide, stereolithography materials (epoxy resin), silver, titanium, steel, wax, photopolymers, and polycarbonate. What is the most affordable 3D printing material? PLA and ABS are the most affordable.
