Creality® PLA 3D Printer Filament - 1.75mm Diameter - 1kg Spool (Black) - High Quality 3D Printing Material for DIY Projects, Prototyping & Home Decor

Product Description

PLA is one of the most frequently used 3D printer filament types because it is easy to use and is a friendly, nontoxic, bio-degradable material derived from renewable resources such as field corn. Perfect for those who are new to 3D printing; compared to ABS, it is easy to use, excellent forming, demonstrates much less warping and curling and performs well on almost every type of printing. PLA is especially ideal for printing objects with flat surfaces, hard angles, and ones requiring tight tolerances for fit. Commonly used for prototypes, educational architectural models, and artifact replicas. It's a popular choice for users looking to paint objects after they have been printed, such as costume props and figurines. PLA filament is relatively brittle, so it is not recommended for thin, high strength applications. PLA filaments should be stored in a cool dry place since PLA tends to absorb moisture from the atmosphere which can compromise quality and performance. PLA (Polylactic acid) is an environmentally friendly material that will degrade responsibly. the PLA filament is contructed using thermoplastic aliphatic polyester made of renewable resources like corn or starch. Its extrusion-temperature is much lower than ABS and most often doesn't require a heated bed. It is the " default " recommended material for many desktop 3D printers. It has the following characteristics: Good toughness high strength, high stiffness Jam Free: Specially designed to reduce nozzle jams good stick hotbed, a smooth PLA used Low shrinkage, thermoforming dimensional stability Accurate diameter: 1.75mm, variations + /-0.05mm, roundness +/-0.03mm The filaments are universally designed and compatible with 3D Printers using 1.75mm diameter filament, with a dimensional accuracy of +/- 0.05mm.
