Smart Print PLA Filament - Pastel purple 1 kg / 1,75 mm
The Smart Print PLA 3D printing filament has been developed using high-quality, plant-based raw materials such as corn and sugarcane to provide an eco-friendly solution without compromising precision or reliability. Compared to standard PLA, it offers smoother extrusion, lower shrinkage (1.5–2.5%), and a broad printing temperature range of 190–230 °C, ensuring easy and consistent performance even for beginners. Its refined formulation produces clean surfaces and fine details, making it ideal for decorative models, collectible figures, prototypes, and display components. Product features Good thermal stability: the processing temperature generally ranges from 170 to 230 °C, allowing it to adapt to a variety of processing scenarios. Excellent solvent resistance: it can be processed by various methods such as extrusion, spinning, biaxial stretching, injection blow molding, etc. Fair Mechanical Properties: it has a certain degree of strength and toughness, and the finished products can meet a variety of usage requirements. Other characteristics: it has good gloss, transparency, and handle. Printing Recommendations Nozzle temperature: 180–230°C (we recommend 210 °C and above) Build surface material: PEI, glass Build plate temperature: 40–60°C Cooling fan: turned on Printing speed: 30–70 mm/s Raft separation distance: 0.2 mm Retraction distance: 7 mm Retraction speed: 20 mm/s Based on a 0.4 mm nozzle. Printing conditions may vary with different nozzle diameters. Drying recommendations To ensure optimal printing performance and surface quality, it is recommended to dry PLA Professional Lab filament before use, especially if it has been exposed to ambient humidity. PLA is hygroscopic and can absorb moisture from the air, which may lead to issues such as stringing, bubbling, poor layer adhesion, or inconsistent extrusion.Use a filament dryer or a convection oven with precise temperature control. Avoid using open heat sources or high temperatures that could deform the filament spool.After drying, store the filament in a sealed container with desiccant to prevent moisture reabsorption. Regular drying is particularly important in humid environments or when using partially used spools. Cooling Settings PLA benefits from efficient cooling to achieve sharp details and a smooth surface finish. Use moderate to high fan speeds to ensure consistent solidification and prevent warping or stringing. For complex models, adjust fan power gradually to maintain a balance between adhesion and cooling. Precautions Avoid high temperatures: PLA has low heat resistance and may deform at temperatures above 60°C. Do not expose printed parts or filament spools to direct sunlight, heaters, or enclosed high-temperature environments. Store properly: always store the filament in a dry, airtight container with desiccant. PLA is hygroscopic and absorbs moisture from the air, which can negatively affect print quality. Ensure proper ventilation: although PLA is generally considered safe, always operate 3D printers in well-ventilated areas to avoid buildup of fumes or microparticles during extended printing sessions. Use recommended printing settings: follow the manufacturer’s suggested temperature and speed settings to prevent nozzle clogs, warping, or poor layer adhesion.
