3D Printer Filament White 1.75mm PLA 832-0400 1pc

Polylactic acid resin has little warping, so it can be printed without a heat bed. If using a heated bed, the recommended temperature is ±35 → 60 C. PLA can be used with all common desktop FDM or FFF technology 3D printers. RS Pro 3D Printer Filament PLA 1.75mm, 2.3 Kg Polylactic acid (PLA) is a biodegradable plastic derived from renewable natural resources and is one of the most common materials used in 3D printing. Plastics such as PLA are the most popular 3D printing materials due to their simplicity, dimensional accuracy, and low cost. PLA prints at low temperatures, does not require a heat bed, and is one of the most environmentally friendly filaments. PLA is a robust, easy-to-use, high-quality PLA type filament that is ideal for 3D printing. With slight modifications, this filament retains the typical PLA properties while being tougher and less brittle. PLA has a low shrinkage rate, so it will not deform even after cooling. This RS Pro range of PLA 3D printing material is available in a range of colours. ; 125-4335 125-4335 - black ; 125-4337 125-4337 - white ; 125-4339 125-4339 - dark blue ; 125-4341 125-4341 - red ; 125-4343 125-4343 - silver Features and Benefits Stronger and less brittle than regular PLA Prints easily at lower temperatures Less warping Unlike ABS filament, PLA is derived from crops such as corn and sugarcane and is biodegradable Less odor Long shelf life Storing this filament properly is important to maintain its quality. Over time, the plastic absorbs moisture from the air, causing small blisters to form in the filament. When these bubbles heat up at the extruder nozzle, they quickly reach their boiling point and ruin the print. We highly recommend using a desiccant dehumidifier to absorb moisture. Storage: Storing in a cool, dry place (15 - 25°C) away from UV rays will significantly extend shelf life. Typical Uses In 3D printing, PLA is used in a wide range of applications, including: General Modeling Hobbyist Medical Education Prototyping Jewelry Architectural Models Aviation Engineering Automotive Frequently Asked Questions What materials can be used for 3D printing?
