Baking the PLA at 100°C for 30 minutes generally improves material properties, but also can cause warping and shrinking. The effective warping and shrinking differed wildly between the filament.

PLA filament is the go-to material for beginners to 3D printing, and for good reason. It's easy to print, requires minimal fine-tuning, and works well with most consumer-grade printers. However ...

I had issues with my Ender 3 where I had the PLA filament left connected to my printer and we had quite a bit of rain (100% humidity). The PLA must have soaked up some moisture because I could no ...

Wooden PLA filaments are a composite of PLA and wood powder, designed to mimic the texture and aesthetics of natural wood, making them ideal for decorative and artistic 3D prints.

We toured several 3D Printer factories, including Prusa Research, Printed Solid, Printerior, and ProtoPasta, to learn how 3D ...

Polymaker states the heat stability temperature of HT-PLA is around 150°C, which is vastly higher than the typical PLA ...

The eSUN PLA PRO (PLA+) 3D Printer Filament is stronger than PLA and is strong—no brittleness issues here. It also extrudes evenly and adheres to itself. The spools come vacuum-packaged, so you ...

The Genesis of PLA-HR Filament. Biqu, a leading manufacturer in 3D printing materials, developed PLA-HR filament to meet the specific and demanding requirements of 3D printing airless basketballs.

PLA, or Polylactic Acid, is a biopolymer used in FFF (Fused Filament Fabrication) 3D Printing amongst other things, and the reason it is used so often is for two main reasons. One is that it is ...
