Reprap 3D printer-specific PLA filament
PLA is bio-based materials, through many customers-proven that PLA is ideal for used in 3D printer, advantages are:
(1) melting printing the smell is good, no odor of ABS smell;
(2) material stiffness, print out the model of good hardness, strength, durability as a structural element, the structure is often used DIY 3D printer structure parts, such as Mendel, Prusa, etc.;
(3) melting point lower than ABS, flow rapidly, not blocking the nozzle;
(4) PLA is transparent material, the effect of color make it bright, shiny;
(5) Our filaments through toughness of PLA to strengthen, not easily broken when bent, need to be repeated several times before bending off to facilitate the printing operation;
(6)dimensional stability, 3mm and 1.75mm standard parts tolerance is ± 0.1mm;
(7) manufacturers supply according to customers' requirements color, affordable, adequate inventory, rich colors (natural, white, green, yellow, red, blue, orange, purple, silver, gold, etc.);
(8) use of ABS plastic spool packaging, each roll is 1.5 kg, facilitate the automatic rotation when printing, PE bag package, containing desiccant
1 Kg (2.2 lbs) spool of 1.75mm gold PLA filament. All filament is sealed in a bag with desiccant.
PLA, aka Polylactic Acid, is a multipurpose material commonly used in 3D printing. PLA 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, especially compared to petrochemical-based alternatives (such as ABS).
At MatterHackers, we tend to favor PLA as our printing material due to its high strength and minimal warping .
