Monoprice PLA 3D Printer Filament - Light Blue - 0.5kg Spool 1.75mm Thick | | For All PLA Compatible Printers 114380

Get outstanding 3D printing results when you use 1.75mm PLA 3D Printer Filament from Monoprice! PLA is a good choice for a printing material if you are looking for high accuracy and high resolution. It extrudes at lower temperatures, does not require a heated base, and has a very low shrinkage rate (0.3%). PLA is harder than ABS, but is therefore also a bit more brittle. This 0.5 kg spool features a thickness of 1.75mm ±0.05mm. It has a nominal processing temperature of 180 ~ 210°C (356 ~ 410°F). Thickness and roundness factors are laser measured at the factory to ensure accuracy over the entire length of the filament. The negatives of using PLA is that it is vulnerable to degradation from moisture, sunlight, and heat. Additionally, it is more prone to overheating during processing, which can cause dripping and drooping if it gets too hot.
