Product Details
RS PRO 3D Printer Filament PLA 2.85 mm 2.3 Kg
Poly Lactic Acid (PLA) is a plastic made from renewable natural resources and one of the most popular materials for 3D printing. Plastics such as PLA are the most popular 3D printing material due to its simplicity, dimensional accuracy and low cost. PLA can be printed at a low temperature and does not require a heated bed and is one of the most environmentally friendly filaments available.
PLA is a tough, easy to use high-grade PLA type of filament, ideal for 3D printing. Slightly modified, the filament retains the typical features of PLA but makes it tougher and less brittle. Due to a low shrinkage factor, PLA will not deform after cooling.
This RS Pro range of PLA 3D printing material comes in various colours:
125-4336 - Black
125-4338 - White
125-4340 - Blue
125-4342 - Red
125-4344 - Silver

Features and Benefits
• Tougher and less brittle compared to regular PLA
• Easy to print at low temperature
• Low warping
• PLA is derived from crops such as corn and sugar cane
• Limited smell
• Good shelf life
It is important to store the filament correctly to maintain its quality. Over time the plastic will absorb moisture from the air, creating small water bubbles in the filament. These bubbles when heated in the extruder nozzle quickly reach boiling point, spoiling the print. The use of desiccant dehumidifiers to absorb the moisture is highly recommended
Storage
Cool and dry (15-25˚C) and away from UV light. Enhances the shelf life significantly
