Specifi cations
PLA fi laments are made using polymerized lactic acid, which is extracted from corn, sugarcane or other sugar-
containing crops, and is regarded as the most environmentally friendly 3D printing material. Unwanted PLA printed
objects can be simply discarded in the soil where it will naturally decompose.
PLA materials printed at low temperatures are not only suitable for family settings, its bright texture also makes it a
favorite amongst our clients. You may observe the characteristics of PLA during printing.
• Despite their harmlessness, PLA placed in an environment or water bath exceeding 50 oC (122 oF) will soften and deform.
• Hence, overly humid areas are not suitable storage environments for PLA. We recommend properly sealing and
stashing away unused PLA fi laments.
• A sugary smell is often generated when printing with PLA fi laments, giving yet another attractive feature.
