The PLA Sparkle Emerald Green 1.75 mm 500 g filament is of exceptional quality, made in the Netherlands. The actual threads ensure that the PLA is of high quality and has a consistent diameter, providing the best 3D printing experience. PLA is ideal for beginners in 3D printing, as well as for more experienced users, as it is easy to use and delivers impressive results.

The PLA filament is available in multiple colors, and there are various types in the Real series. PLA (polylactic acid) is one of the oldest and most used materials in the 3D printing community, mainly due to its advantages as a versatile and environmentally friendly thermoplastic.

This biodegradable option is easy to mix with other materials to affect its final properties, such as flexibility and metallic character. The opaque, uncolored form of Real PLA is transparent off-white and has a printing temperature between 195 - 205 degrees (depending on the specifications of the hot end). The darker shades of Real may require a few extra degrees of temperature due to the coloring process.

The filament should extrude smoothly and appear slightly glossy. PLA is denser and more durable than ABS, but it is more brittle and prone to cracking under high load. It is also 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, as well as most adhesive 3D printing surfaces. For convenience, it is recommended to use sprays like 3DLAC on glass surfaces. A low surface temperature between 50 - 60 degrees further reduces the chances of warping and makes it easier to remove the final printed object once the surface has cooled down.
