3D Printer Filament PLA

Specifications:

1. Material: Polylactic Acid (PLA)
   • Source: Biodegradable and renewable resources (cornstarch, sugarcane).
2. Filament Diameter:
   • Common sizes: 1.75mm or 2.85mm (ensure compatibility with the 3D printer’s extruder size).
3. Spool Weight:
   • Typically available in 500g, 750g, 1kg, and 2kg spools.
4. Color Options:
   • Wide range of colors, including solid, translucent, and specialty finishes like metallic, glow-in-the-dark, or color-changing.
5. Print Temperature:
   • Optimal Nozzle Temperature: 180°C to 220°C (depending on the printer and brand).
   • Bed Temperature: 50°C to 70°C (optional, PLA usually does not require a heated bed).
6. Printing Speed:
   • Typically 30mm/s to 90mm/s for optimal quality (varies by printer and complexity of the model).
7. Tensile Strength:
   • PLA has a relatively high tensile strength, making it suitable for durable prints. Strength may range between 37 MPa to 55 MPa.
8. Density:
   • Approximately 1.24 g/cm³.
9. Environmental Impact:
   • Biodegradable under industrial composting conditions.
   • Low odor emissions when printing.
10. Shrinkage/Warpage:
    • Minimal compared to other filaments like ABS, making it easier to print large objects without a heated bed or enclosure.
