RS PRO Various Colour PLA 3D Printer Filaments

The RS PRO 3D Printer Filament is a Poly Lactic Acid (PLA) plastic made from renewable natural resources and one of the most popular materials for 3D printing. Plastics such as PLA are the most popular 3D printing material due to its simplicity, dimensional accuracy and low cost. PLA can be printed at a low temperature and does not require a heated bed and is one of the most environmentally friendly filaments available. PLA is a tough, easy to use high-grade PLA type of filament, ideal for 3D printing. Slightly modified, the filament retains the typical features of PLA but makes it tougher and less brittle. Due to a low shrinkage factor, PLA will not deform after cooling.

Please note: We can’t guarantee the specific filament colours that will be supplied, therefore this is an excellent option when a specific colour isn’t required

FAQs

What material can be used in 3D Printing?

Various materials can be used for 3D printing which includes:
PLA, ABS plastic, polyamide (nylon), glass filled polyamide, stereolithography materials (epoxy resins), silver, titanium, steel, wax, photopolymers and polycarbonate.

Why Use PLA?

PLA (Polylactic Acid) filament is favoured in a wide range of industries for its versatile properties and selection of colours. PLA is a bio-degradable product, allowing it to naturally break down in a few months unlike other plastics that can take many years. As well as being non-toxic and environmentally friendly, PLA filament is very easy to print with making it a highly versatile material to print with.

How should I store the filament?

Once you have purchased your filament, it is important to store it correctly to maintain its quality. Over time the plastic will absorb moisture from the air, creating small water bubbles in the filament. These bubbles when heated in the extruder nozzle quickly reach boiling point, spoiling the print. The use of desiccant dehumidifiers to absorb the moisture is highly recommended.
