PLA
Overview
PLA is easy to print, at low cost. Non-toxic and Eco friendly. A perfect starting point for people new to 3D printing.
PLA is created from all-natural renewable resources, and under the correct conditions, is fully biodegradable. This material is typically used for prototypes or decorative prints; Due to the low temperatures and ease of use, features tend to print sharper and more detailed. Its non-toxic nature means that it can be printed for food and medical applications if done so from a sterile and sanitized environment.
However, PLA prints are prone to snapping and breaking under pressure, and become damaged and discolored from high temperatures and prolonged exposure to sunlight or water.
Used for: Design prototypes, Plastic Cups, Medical Implants, Food containers.

Good for the price
prints smooth on my ender 3 V2 but won’t stick to the bed with out help ( textured glass bed) with a spray of hair spray it sticks great, 210 degrees with 30deg bed temp, colour is more primer gray than graphite but overall I would buy again.

A fill-in became a staple!
I originally ordered this filament because I normally used ABS-X Iron Grey, it was out of stock and this was the filament recommended by the ever-helpful 3D Filaprint staff as a replacement. Honestly I’m really glad they did, because although I’m still very happy with the ABS-X this PLA is a lot better for my main use; printing Companion Cubes (as in the photo). This PLA seems to hold the shape better, I’ve never had any problems with delamination and it’s a piece of cake to print with on both my Zortrax M200s and the new M200+. Easy to dial in, very solid stuff and has a lovely shiny finish (even the surface in contact with the raft when printed sands down to a very nice satin/shiny finish with little effort). All in all I’m glad the ABS-X was out of stock that time, because this is now my go-to for dark grey!
