Description
PolyTerra PLA could well be YOUR next generation GOTO 3D printing filament. PolyTerra PLA is a PLA-based 3D printing filament designed from the ground up to create the next generation of environmentally friendly filaments, providing ease of use, high printing quality, speed and reliability. It is a newly developed material from Polymaker called Fully Bio Compound(FBC) which is a compound of PLA bioplastic and a biocomposite.
For every spool you purchase, Polymaker working with https://onetreeplanted.org/ will plant a tree for you on our beautiful planet. Both the spool and packaging box is made from 100% recycled cardboard. Data sheets are also made available online at the bottom of this page to reduce paper printing. 
Not only do you have what we believe is a value for money PLA product, it is also produced by one of the worlds leading filament manufacturers, Polymaker. 
This is a PLA material created after listening to feedback from the wider 3D printing community. A filament created using the latest technologies that Polymaker have to offer. A material that is not only easier on the pocket but prints superbly. Having tried and tested the material ourselves on several 3D printers we are 100% certain that you will not fail to be impressed. 
Check out prints below, we printed these models on the e3d toolchanger, Inventor 2s and the Craftbot Idex 3D printers. The results we achieved were stunning for such a well priced filament. Your 3D printer will love you for printing with PolyTerra PLA. 
Not only is PolyTerra PLA a very easy to print filament, it also has increased strength and durability over regular PLA filaments. 
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.

Beautiful filament
Beautiful colour and prints really lovely on my Prusa Mini+. It is very much a Matt filament so if that is not to your likely be aware.
Sarah Nicholson –
Excellent filament and well priced
Bought a few reels of this in different colours as a good basic filament for prototyping parts and general purpose prints, and considering it’s very reasonably priced I’ve been really impressed by the quality, it prints beautifully with a lovely matte finish that hides layer lines. Very happy with it and would definitely recommend and buy again.

I spent two days trying to level my printer and get the Z adjustments right. Nothing worked. Out of sheer frustration, I switched the spool of filament (whose name will go unmentioned) with an almost empty reel of Polyterra. The adhesion problems went away. I tried the print again with the same result. Bought this product because of the eco-friendly reels. Will keep using it because I’m getting good prints.
