This is a 1kg (2.2lb) spool of 3mm black PLA (polylactic acid) plastic filament, perfect for 3D printing. PLA is a bioplastic that offers a smooth surface finish, making it an excellent all - purpose filament. It's incredibly easy to print and biodegradable! Compared to other materials, PLA has minimal warping and shrinking. This makes it ideal for creating objects with flat surfaces, hard angles, or those requiring tight tolerances. PLA filament is widely used for quickly building prototypes, educational and architectural models, and artifact replicas. It also supports various post - processing techniques, like painting, which makes it a top pick for creating costume props and figurines. The filament comes on a heavy - duty plastic spool and is vacuum - sealed to prevent moisture. Note: Since PLA is relatively brittle, it's not suitable for thin, high - strength applications. Features: Diameter: 3mm (0.118 inches), Quantity: 1 kg (2.2 pounds), Hot End Temperature: 195°C – 215°C, Color: Black. Documents: Filament Guide, Cura Print Profile (LulzBot Edition), Slic3r Print Profile, MSDS.
Using this PLA filament for 3D printing is a breeze. First, make sure your 3D printer's hot end temperature is set between 195°C and 215°C. Then, load the filament onto the printer from the heavy - duty plastic spool. When you're done printing, keep the filament in its vacuum - sealed packaging to protect it from moisture. As for post - processing, you can paint your printed objects to make them look really cool. Just remember, because PLA is a bit brittle, don't use it for thin parts that need to be super strong. And always refer to the Filament Guide, Cura Print Profile (LulzBot Edition), Slic3r Print Profile, and MSDS for more detailed information.
