We have a wide range of bright colours that produce tough and durable prints. All our printer filament comes vacuum sealed which ensures no moisture or outside foreign particles have touched or landed on the filament. This means it's as fresh as it can be. Our stock is also kept in a temperature controlled air-tight environment within our warehouse to ensure that no damp or sub-zero temperatures (in winter) can affect the filament stock. PLA, Polylactic Acid, is created from processing a number of plant products. PLA can be composted at commercial facilities unlike ABS which is derived from fossil fuels. PLA is a more earth friendly plastic. It is stronger and more rigid than ABS, and in general the printed objects will have a glossier look and feel compared to ABS. Unlike ABS, PLA can be sanded and machined. PLA has a lower melting temperature compared to ABS. As a material, PLA has much less warping versus ABS. Additionally; a heated bed is not required to print it. PLA generally enjoys sharper details and corners compared to ABS without the risk of cracking or warping. PLA can also be printed at higher throughput speeds. It is compatible with different brands of 3D printers (such as: Makerbot, Mendel, reprap, UP, Prusa, Huxley, BFB3000, uPrint, Cubify, printrbot, Sumpod) Our fine grade PLA filament (Poly Lactic Acid) is derived from corn starch and is biodegraded in an active compost heap. We recommend PLA for beginners as its more forgiving and easier to work with as it cools & sets faster reducing war page PLA Filament tends to be translucent and shiny LA filament is easier to use but not as stable and will dissolve if wet each spool is sold by weight, not length, in 1KG spools because it is sold by weight, the length and thickness will vary the melting point will vary due to the density of the material the feed rate and the size of the hot end used will also affect melting point diameter tolerance will vary according to the density of the material a properly sized roller and calibrated hot end is required for good performance printer jams are always due to improper sized rollers and/or liners This is industrial material manufactured for professional use only. There are many materials that are being explored for 3D printing, however you will find that the two dominant plastics are ABS and PLA. Both are known as thermoplastics; that is they become soft and pliable when heated and return to a solid when cooled. This process can be repeated again and again. Their ability to melt and be processed again is what makes them so prevalent in society and is why most of the plastics you interact with on a daily basis are thermoplastics. While there are many thermoplastics, very few of them are currently used for 3D Printing. For a material to prove viable for 3D Printing, it has to pass three different tests; initial extrusion into Plastic Filament, second extrusion and trace-binding during the 3D Printing process, then finally end use application. PLA demonstrates much less part warping. For this reason it is possible to successfully print without a heated bed and use more commonly available "Blue" painters tape as a print surface. PLA undergoes more of a phase-change when heated and becomes much more liquid. If actively cooled, much sharper details can be seen on printed corners without the risk of cracking or warping. The increased flow can also lead to stronger binding between layers, improving the strength of the printed part. Strength: PLA compared to ABS is more brittle and will tend to splinter and break where ABS may tend to bend, but similar force is required for either to fail. It is more likely that you will find your print settings to be a bigger contributor to the strength of printed objects than the plastic you're using (at least between PLA and ABS). Insufficient infill density, too few shells, delamination (layers pulling apart), and other related problems may make your object weak even though the material itself is relatively strong. If your objects feel too flimsy or break too easily try upping infill, adding shells (perimeters), and tweaking your temperature and speed enabling better adhesion between layers. Printing: PLA or to use its full name, Poly Lactic Acid is probably the best material to get started with when you first start 3D printing. With the help of 3D printer's on-board fans it will cool and set very quickly. This means that you can avoid warping and achieve a range of shapes that would be more difficult with other materials. Finishing: After 3D printing you can finish your model by sanding and spraying with automotive spray filler. You can also paint directly onto PLA with acrylic paints. Environment: As a biodegradable material it is much better for the environment, especially compared to petrochemical-based alternatives (such as ABS). It will also biodegrade in an active compost heap.
