Premium 3D Printer Filament—PLA
PLA
Description
The
Premium 3D Printer Filament—PLA
is made of high purity polylactic acid (PLA) pellets with a tight
diameter tolerance.
Applications & Usages
The PLA filament is the optimal choice for use in homes, schools, and hobbyists. A heated print bed is not
required and when properly utilized, faster print speeds and lower layer heights can be achieved.
Benefits and Features
1.75 mm and 3.00 mm diameters
Low diameter variance
Vivid and unique colors such as Skin, Gold, Silver, Glow in the Dark, and so on
