The PLA filament Satin Sun 2.85 mm 500 g is of high quality, produced in the Netherlands. Real filaments ensure that the PLA is high quality and has a consistent diameter, providing the best 3D printing experience. It is ideal for beginners as it is easy to use and offers impressive results.
PLA (polylactic acid) is one of the oldest and most commonly used materials in the 3D printing community, mainly due to its advantages as a versatile and environmentally friendly thermoplastic. It is organic and biodegradable, and can easily be combined with other ingredients to affect its final properties, such as flexibility and metallic appearance.
The light-colored form of Real PLA is a translucent off-white and has a printing temperature between 195 - 205 degrees (depending on the characteristics of the hot end). Darker shades may require a few additional degrees in temperature due to the coloring process. The filament should extrude smoothly and have a slightly glossy appearance. PLA is denser and more durable than ABS, but is more brittle and prone to cracking under high stresses.
Additionally, it is less resistant to external conditions (UV light and water) compared to other common thermoplastics (such as Nylon, ABS, and PETG). PLA can print well on a non-heated surface using Blue Painters or Kapton tape and 3D printing stickers. It is recommended to use sprays like 3DLAC on a glass surface for ease and comfort. A low bed temperature between 50 - 60 degrees reduces the chance of warping and makes it easier to remove the final print once the printing surface has cooled.
