PLA Filament 1.75mm, 1Kg Roll - Lava Colour Change

This 1kg reel holds 1.75mm PLA (polylactic acid) plastic filament, perfect for 3D printing. The filament has a fascinating lava - like colour change from black to red to yellow as the temperature ranges from 31 to 45 degrees. It's a bioplastic with a smooth surface finish, making it a great all - purpose choice. Printing with this filament is a breeze, and it's even biodegradable! Compared to other materials, it has minimal warping and shrinking, which is ideal for objects with flat surfaces, hard angles, or tight tolerances. PLA filament is commonly used for quick - building prototypes, educational and architectural models, and artifact replicas. It also supports various post - processing techniques, so it's great for painting printed objects like costume props and figurines. The filament comes on a heavy - duty plastic reel and is vacuum - sealed to keep moisture out. Note that PLA is relatively brittle, so it's not suitable for thin, high - strength applications.

Using this PLA filament for 3D printing is easy. First, make sure your 3D printer is set up correctly and can handle 1.75mm filament. Load the filament onto the printer following the printer's instructions. When printing, keep an eye on the temperature. You'll see the amazing colour change from black to red to yellow between 31 and 45 degrees. As for post - processing, if you want to paint your printed object, you can do so using regular paints. Just remember, PLA is a bit brittle. So, don't use it for parts that need to be thin and super strong. To keep the filament in good condition, store it in a cool, dry place. The vacuum - sealed package helps, but if you open it, try to use it up within a reasonable time to avoid moisture absorption.
