This 1kg (2.2lb) reel of 2.85mm black PLA (polylactic acid) plastic filament is perfect for 3D printing. As a bioplastic, it offers a smooth surface finish and is a fantastic all - purpose filament. It's super easy to print and biodegradable! Compared to other materials, PLA has very little warping and shrinking, making it ideal for objects with flat surfaces, hard angles, or those requiring tight tolerances. PLA filament is commonly used for quickly creating 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: Since PLA is relatively brittle, it's not suitable for thin, high - strength applications.
Using this 3D printing PLA filament is a breeze. First, make sure your 3D printer is set up according to the recommended settings for PLA. Load the filament onto your printer and start your printing process. It's easy to handle and will give you a smooth finish. When it comes to post - processing, you can paint or treat your printed objects as you like. Just keep in mind that PLA is a bit brittle. So, don't use it for projects that need thin, high - strength parts. To keep your filament in good condition, store it in a cool, dry place. The vacuum - sealed reel helps protect it from moisture, but if you open it, try to use it up within a reasonable time to maintain its quality.
