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.

Strangely difficult
So I’m normally a big fan of the Extrafill filaments. They’re cheap, they work and generally they’re fairly easy to get decent prints from even if they don’t always match up to more expensive filaments. This yellow though? Absolutely not. It’s been a real challenge to get good prints out of this thing, with a lot of ring layers and blobing on the outter walls being recurring issues when using a 0.4mm nozzle. At first I would be inclined to blame my slicer settings, but even after much tweaking I’ve had no success with this particular filament. I can only assume that this has something to do the dye involved in making it yellow as other Extrafill filaments have printed great with the same or similar settings before and since. To it’s benefit however, on a 0.8mm nozzle I had substantially less trouble with this filament (although that is to be expected) and was able to avoid blobing. Additionally, the colour is excellent being both bright and clean. At only 1 or 2 layers it looks fairly washed out, but beyond 3 it looks great and if one can get it to print more accurately I feel that it would be a very pretty filament.

Brilliant Stuff!
Have to say this is lovely fillament, the yellow is a proper yellow colour like amber. No adhesion problems or clogs, lays down a perfect first layer every time. My only criticism is you can’t get it in 1kg spools but that’s the same for all of the Fillamentum range. Definately buying again!
