PLA is one of the oldest and most widely used materials in the 3D printing community, primarily due to its advantages as a versatile and environmentally friendly thermoplastic. It is organic and biodegradable and can easily be combined with other components to affect its final properties, such as flexibility and metallicity.
The uncolored form of Real PLA is transparent cream and has a printing temperature between 195 - 205 degrees. Darker shades may require a few extra degrees 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 loads. It is rated as less resistant to outdoor conditions (UV light and water) compared to other common thermoplastics (such as Nylon, ABS, and PETG).
It can print well on a non-heated surface using Blue Painters tape or Kapton. The use of spray, such as 3DLAC, on a glass surface is recommended for convenience. A low surface temperature between 50 - 60 degrees reduces the likelihood of warping and facilitates the removal of the final printed object once the surface has cooled.
