PLA Filament for 3D Printers - 3mm Diameter - Blue - 1KG

Imagine having a 3D printer but no filament. It's just like having a regular printer without paper or ink. Although many printers come with some filament, you might have printed a lot and need a new supply. That's why we offer a full range of 3D printing filaments in various colors! This 3mm blue 1Kg spool of PLA filament is an excellent basic material for 3D printers. Before you buy, always check what diameter and filament type your printer can handle. PLA is a bioplastic made from renewable natural resources. It's biodegradable in commercial compost facilities, so you can feel good about being eco - friendly while printing. When using PLA, there's less warping, and it works best when extruded between 160°C and 220°C. We sampled filaments from many trusted 3D filament suppliers and tested them on our 3D printers. We found that Ultimachine's plastics are the most reliable for printing and spooling. We even use Ultimachine filament for all our Adafruit weekly projects. Their materials are high - grade and rarely clog. The raw material for Ultimachine PLA filament is Natureworks PLA4043D Ingeo resins from US - grown corn, and the pigments are bio - friendly and designed for PLA.

Using this 3D printer PLA filament is easy. First, make sure your printer can handle 3mm diameter PLA filament. Then, set the extrusion temperature between 160°C and 220°C for the best results. When printing, you'll notice less warping compared to other materials. Remember to store the filament in a dry place to keep it in good condition. Also, check the filament for any signs of damage before using it. If you encounter any clogging problems, it's very rare with this high - grade filament, but if it does happen, follow your printer's manual for clearing the blockage. And since it's biodegradable, you can feel good about disposing of any unused bits in a commercial compost facility.
