PLA, or Poly Lactic Acid, is a high-grade compostable bioplastic made from renewable natural resources. It's one of the most popular materials for 3D printing, as it's been perfected for ease of use with desktop 3D printing. Using PLA will reduce calibration times, improve success rates and ensure a consistent printing experience.

Modified, this filament retains the typical advantages of PLA with greatly improved toughness and a reduction of brittleness. With a minimal shrinkage factor, PLA filament will not warp or deform after cooling. PLA is recommended for use in schools and libraries. Other options, such as ABS filament, have certain benefits, but print with a noticeable plastic smell or give off potentially harmful chemicals. Using a PLA filament ill keep the workspace safe and clean.
Printing temperature: 210 to 220 °C
Bed temp: 65 °C
Printing conditions: PLA will print directly on heated glass or a Cubicon bed, but will print best on heated PEI, Buildtak or gluestick
