Having a 3D printer without filament is like having a regular printer without paper or ink. Most printers come with some filament, but you might need a new one after a lot of printing. That's why we offer a wide range of 3D printing filaments in various colors! This 1.75mm diameter, 1KG spool of purple translucent PLA filament is an excellent basic material for 3D printers, especially PrintrBot Simples. Before buying, always check your printer's compatible diameter and filament type. PLA is a bioplastic made from renewable natural resources and is biodegradable in commercial compost facilities. You can feel good about being eco - friendly while printing. It has less warping and works best when extruded between 160°C and 220°C. We sampled filaments from many trusted suppliers and tested them on our 3D printers. PrintInz's plastics are the most reliable for printing and spooling, and we use them for our Adafruit weekly projects. Their materials are high - grade and rarely clog. The Ultimachine PLA filament is made from Natureworks PLA4043D Ingeo resins from US - grown corn, and the pigments are bio - friendly and formulated for PLA.
Using this 3D printer PLA filament is easy. First, make sure your printer can handle 1.75mm diameter PLA filament. Then, load the filament onto your printer following the printer's instructions. Set the extrusion temperature between 160°C and 220°C for the best results. When it comes to storage, keep the filament in a dry and cool place to prevent it from absorbing moisture. Before starting a new print, always check the filament for any signs of damage or tangles. If you notice any clogs, you can try to clear them gently using the appropriate tools. And remember, since this is a biodegradable bioplastic, you're making an eco - friendly choice with every print.
