RS PRO 2.85 mm Black PLA 3D Printer Filament, 1 kg, Polylactic Acid Material, FDM Technology, 210°C Max Temperature 832-0264

RS PRO 832-0264 3D Printer Filament is a 2.85 mm diameter black PLA (Polylactic Acid) filament designed for fused deposition modelling (FDM) 3D printing technology. It is manufactured in Spain and weighs 1 kg per spool.

This filament type is made from renewable natural resources such as corn starch and sugar cane, offering one of the most environmentally friendly options for 3D printing materials available today. The PLA filament is slightly modified to be tougher and less brittle than regular PLA, which improves the quality of prints and reduces the risk of failures.

Thanks to its low shrinkage factor, PLA maintains dimensional accuracy during and after the printing process, which minimizes warping and distortion. Its ease of use and low printing temperature requirement of 210°C mean that a heated bed is not mandatory; however, a recommended heated bed temperature of 35-60°C can further improve print adhesion and quality.

RS PRO's black PLA filament is suitable for use with all common desktop FDM 3D printers, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of applications, including prototyping, educational projects, hobbyist crafts, medical models, jewelry, architecture, aviation, engineering, and automotive industries.

To maintain filament quality, proper storage in a cool, dry environment between 15-25˚C and protection from UV light is essential. Moisture absorption leads to bubbling during extrusion and compromises print quality, so desiccant use is recommended when storing for extended periods.

The filament diameter is precisely 2.85 mm, ensuring compatibility with most desktop 3D printers. The material is a toughened PLA that balances ease of printing with mechanical strength. Low warping characteristics reduce the need for complex printing settings and support materials.

Printing temperature maximum is 210°C, suitable for standard FDM printers. Environmentally benign, sourced from renewable crops, reducing ecological impact. Applications cover industrial, educational, prototyping, and creative design uses.

Manufactured in Spain under strict quality controls to ensure consistent performance. Packaged in 1 kg spools for extended printing jobs. RS PRO products are trusted in industrial, manufacturing, laboratory, and educational settings. Explore the RS PRO range for comprehensive 3D printing materials and accessories.
