PLA High Speed - yellow - Fillament for 3D-Printers PLA (Polylactic Acid) is one of the most
popular types of filament used in 3D printing. It is a plastic material that is easy to print
with due to its lower melting temperature and minimal risk of warping making it suitable for
beginners. PLA produces detailed and precise prints with a smooth surface but has limited heat
resistance and durability compared to other materials like ABS. It is ideal for prototypes
models and decorative items. Weight: 1 kg. Length: 330 m. Diameter: 1 75 ± 0 05 mm. Melting
temperature: 210 - 240 °C. Melting temperature refers to the temperature at which a filament
material for a 3D printer starts to melt and becomes fluid enough to be extruded through the
printer's nozzle. It is a critical parameter as the correct melting temperature ensures a
stable flow rate and good adhesion between the printed layers. Too low a temperature can result
in under-extrusion and weak print quality while too high a temperature can cause over-melting
leading to poor detail and material degradation. Printing speed: 60 - 600 mm. Printing speed
refers to the speed at which the 3D printer's nozzle moves and deposits the filament during the
printing process. This speed determines how quickly a print is completed and affects the
quality of the finished product. Slower speeds typically provide better detail and higher
precision while faster speeds reduce print time but can impact accuracy and detail. It's
important to find a balance that suits the specific printing project. Density (at 21.5 °C): 1
25 g cm³. Density tells how heavy a material is relative to its size. For 3D printer filament
it means how much the finished print will weigh. It also affects how solid and strong the print
will be. A higher density can result in heavier and stronger prints while a lower density
gives lighter prints. It also impacts how the filament melts and lays down during printing.
Impact strength: 5 KJ m². Impact Strength (KJ m²) indicates how much energy a material can
absorb upon impact before breaking. For 3D printer filaments it shows how resistant the
material is to shocks. A higher value means the material is more robust and can withstand
greater impacts without breaking. Tensile strength: 3 - 5 %. Tensile strength (%) indicates how
much a material can stretch or deform before it breaks. For 3D printer filament it means how
much a printed item can bend or stretch before it fails. This is an important property as it
shows how flexible or brittle the printed object will be. A higher percentage of tensile break
means the material can stretch more making it more flexible and less likely to break under
stress. Temperature resistance: 50 °C. before deformation Temperature resistance indicates how
much heat a filament can withstand before it starts to lose its shape and deform. For 3D
printer filament this means how stable the printed object will be when exposed to heat. This
is important when using printed parts in warm environments as high temperature resistance
ensures that the print maintains its shape and function under stress. Yield Strength at 50 mm
min: : 35 MPa (3D printing) Yield Strength at 50 mm min indicates the stress a material can
withstand while being stretched at a rate of 50 mm min before it starts to deform permanently.
It shows how strong a printed object is before it loses its shape and sustains permanent
damage. This property is important for understanding how durable a print will be under stress.
Melt flow index: 2 16. Melt Flow Index (MFI) indicates how easily a thermoplastic material
flows when melted. It describes how quickly the material can be extruded from a 3D printer
nozzle under specific conditions. A higher Melt Flow Index means the material flows more easily
which can be useful for faster printing but may also affect the strength of the final product.
