PLA Sparkle Gold Medal filament 2.85 mm 500 g for 3D printers, of superior quality, produced in the Netherlands. Real Filaments guarantees that the PLA is of high quality and has a consistent diameter, providing an excellent 3D printing experience. PLA is ideal for beginners in 3D printing, but even more experienced users will find it user-friendly, as it is easy to use and produces impressive results.

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

• Organic and biodegradable, PLA can be easily combined with other materials to influence its final properties, such as flexibility and metallic appearance.
• The clear Real PLA is a transparent white color and has a printing temperature between 195 - 205 degrees (depending on the characteristics of the print head).
• The dark shades of Real may require a few extra degrees of temperature due to the coloring process.
• The filament prints smoothly and appears slightly glossy.
• PLA is denser and more durable than ABS, but it is more brittle and prone to cracking under high loads.
• It is less resistant to external conditions (UV light and water) than other common thermoplastics.

PLA can print well on a non-heated surface using Blue Painters or Kapton tape, as well as most 3D printing adhesive labels. For convenience, the use of sprays, such as 3DLAC, on a glass base is recommended. A low bed temperature between 50 - 60 degrees further reduces the likelihood of warping and makes it easier to remove the finished printed object once the printing surface has cooled.
