Gizmo Dorks PLA Filament for 3D Printers 1.75mm 200g, 4 Color Pack Multicolor

Polylactic Acid (PLA) is a type of plastic derived from plant products, making it a more environmentally-friendly alternative to ABS. When heated during the printing process, PLA emits a semi-sweet scent, which is generally preferred over the hot plastic smell of ABS filament. Compared to ABS, PLA is stronger, more rigid, and produces sharper details and corners. The 3D-printed parts have a glossier finish and can be sanded and machined.

One of the advantages of PLA is its reduced tendency to warp, which means a heated build platform is not required. Many users opt to print with blue painters tape instead of kapton tape. Additionally, PLA can be printed at higher speeds than ABS.

To ensure optimal performance, it is important to store PLA filament in a cool, dry space. Exposure to moisture can cause bubbles to form, as PLA reacts with water at high temperatures.

The available PLA filament options include 1.75 mm diameters in opaque blue, red, orange, and green colors. Each spool contains 1 kg of filament and is suitable for use with a variety of 3D printers, such as the Creality Ender 3, Anycubic, Prusa, Flashforge, and Monoprice, among others.

The recommended nozzle temperature range for PLA filament is 205-225°C, and the filament diameter is 1.75 mm with a tolerance of +/- 0.03 mm. Each spool has a net weight of 200 grams, a diameter of 6 inches, a width of 1.5 inches, and a hub diameter of 2.25 inches.

These PLA filaments are an excellent choice for 3D printing enthusiasts, providing a more environmentally-friendly and user-friendly alternative to ABS. The available color options make them a perfect complement to your 3D printer or 3D pen projects.
