About this deal

PLA is known for being a very non-toxic material that’s generally food-safe and produces very little fumes. According to Xometry, PLA+ is also not toxic, but obviously, the additives used in a PLA+ filament vary from manufacturer to manufacturer so this might not always be true. This biodegradable PLA filament is an extremely popular and user-friendly filament type. Ideal for producing visually appealing 3D objects that require little force. This filament also has a slightly higher print temperature (220°C) than regular PLA and an optimal bed temperature of 35°C. With a diameter of 1.75mm it is compatible with almost all 3D printers. The ideal printing temperature of this filament is 190 to 230 °C. For best results, use a heated bed at 25 to 60 °C. Most 3D printing enthusiasts don’t start out printing ABS because you need an enclosure, a high-temperature heated bed, and a fine-tuned slicer profile to print it well. But, for users that are comfortable dealing with print quality issues and troubleshooting, ABS is a terrific alternative to PLA+. I bought the filament to test the matt finish and it is quite nice indeed. Its stilll not matt like "chalk board paint" but it has some texture and rough prints look quite nice.

Because of the better dimensional accuracy, PLA+ filament is a better option when printing functional models or any part that needs to fit somewhere, such as a screw, gear, or snap on panel. Speed UK 3D Printing Materials Supplier, Filamentive, are part of a global consortium of companies and academic institutions that could revolutionise the use of industrial additive manufacturing in the UK, bringing the advanced manufacturing of high-value components for...But, if your 3D printer doesn’t have an enclosure, I strongly suggest avoiding ABS as printing in an open-air environment almost always yields low-quality or failed prints. PETG The glitter PLA filament has a diameter of 1.75mm and an ideal print temperature between 180°C and 230°C. It is very easy to use, biodegradable and does not require a heated bed to print. It is recommended to clean the nozzle after use with cleaning filament. Store the glitter PLA filament in a cool and dry place and do not leave it in the sun. ABS is one of the most widely-used plastics in the world, and it’s especially popular for 3D printing due to its high durability and heat resistance. The tool works with heat and is easy to connect to a USB port. After a 15-second warm-up time, you can get started right away. Thanks to the compact and light design (only 120 grams) the tool is very pleasant to use. Wood - Dyed wood fibers can be added to filament to create almost any wood-like color, as well as a small amount of texture to mimic a wood-like appearance.

Polylactic acid, or PLA, is easily the most popular filament material for 3D printing. But have you heard of its cousin, PLA+? PLA is an environmentally friendly and recyclable high-quality plastic. With this material you can easily print objects in any shape, in detail. PLA filament is stronger and shinier than ABS and you do not need a heated bed for a high-quality result. BUT: The temperature range from 205 to 225 is absurd. I have a calibrated hotend and i made temperature towers down to 160°! I printed it at 175° on a volcano hotend. Above these its viscosity is like water... as someone else mentioned it is more like printing low temperature wood filament. At this low temperature stringing is ok, but layer adhesion is not the best. The foaming ratio and strength can be adjusted as desired by adjusting the printing temperature. Between 210℃ and 270℃, this material will foam when printing. This will increase the volume almost 1.2 times. The extrusion can be reduced by up to 45% to print lightweight parts. Due to the foaming ratio of 220%, 55% less material is used per part than when using regular PLA. This way you achieve a part of the same size but with less weight. The active foaming technology creates practically invisible layers.The ideal print temperature of this filament is 190 to 230°C. For best results, use a heated bed of 25 to 60°C. Filamentive have been shortlisted for the 2023 Sustainability in Additive Manufacturing award by 3D Printing Industry. The Sustainability in Additive Manufacturing category recognises additive manufacturing applications or processes that contribute to...

Low heat resistance - prints and filament will warp and deteriorate in warmer temperatures, such as a hot car This high-quality Ultrafuse Pro1 Tough PLA filament from BASF is a guarantee for even faster and more consistent 3D printing. The extra strong and versatile material is as strong as ABS (one of the strongest filament types). Yet you can print with it just as easily as the very user-friendly PLA. PLA, ABS plastic, polyamide (nylon), glass filled polyamide, stereolithography materials (epoxy resins), silver, titanium, steel, wax, photopolymers and polycarbonate. But, other than that, the post-processing for these materials is the same, so feel free to sand, layer smooth (with IPA), prime, paint, and polish your PLA or PLA+ prints. Color OptionsBut, PETG isn’t all perfect and this filament material is known to cause some printing issues, including over-adhesion to the build plate and stringing. As such, PLA+ is considered easier to work with than PETG, and a better choice for 3D printing novices. This transparent acrylic coil holder kit is ideal for setting up your filament coils if your printer does not have a coil holder. The holder is provided with a smooth steel tube to place the roll of filament on. Not suitable for coils heavier than 1kg.
