Ease of use is another hallmark of PLA 3D printing. It requires lower temperatures and minimal equipment, boasting good layer adhesion and minimal warping for reliable, high-detail prints. Plus, it’s cost-effective, striking the perfect balance between quality and affordability. With a thriving community of enthusiasts, you'll never be short on pre-configured settings, how-to guides, and expert advice. Upgrade your creativity, sustainably, and affordably with PLA filament today!
PLA (Polylactic Acid) filament is predominantly made from renewable resources like cornstarch or sugarcane. This gives it the advantage of being biodegradable and more eco-friendly compared to petroleum-based plastics.
While a heated bed is not strictly necessary for PLA, having one can improve bed adhesion. However, PLA is less prone to warping compared to other materials, and it adheres well to a variety of surfaces.
PLA is not naturally water-resistant and may degrade over time if exposed to moisture. For applications requiring water resistance, it is advisable to apply a sealant or coating to the PLA material.
