RS PRO 1.75mm Black PLA-X3 3D Printer Filament, 1kg / 1740001

RS PRO PLA PRO+ Filament, 1.75mm This PLA PRO+ (polylactic acid) 3D Printer Filament from our high-quality own brand RS PRO is the most popular 3D printing filament material and it is the best material for getting started with your 3D printer. PLA PRO+ is industrial high-performance PLA which features an extreme performance on speed, mechanical properties and high heat environments. Benefits Good tensile strength and surface quality, easy to work with at high print speed User-friendly for both home and office environments PLA PRO+ filament allows the creation of high-resolution parts Due to the low shrinkage factor, PLA PRO+ will not deform after cooling Hardens quickly Minimal thermal tension Minimal deformation Acetone resistant Semi-matte finish Does not require a heated bed, however, if you have a heated bed the recommended temperature is ± 50-60˚C Features Prints like PLA performs like ABS Filament Diameter: 1.75mm Melting temperature: 205°C Heat distortion temperature HDT B (0,45MPa): 95°C Compatible with any printer that uses 1.75mm filament Applications Household tools Educational projects Show objects Prototyping Architectural modelsOnce 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. RS PRO RS PRO is our own brand range and brings you a wide range of high-quality, great value products offering you more choice. Trusted by engineers all over the world, every part of every RS PRO product has been rigorously tested against demanding industry standards; they’re only given the RS PRO Seal of Approval if we’re confident of their exceptional quality, which means you can be confident too.
