RS PRO 2.85 mm PLA 3D Printer Filament 1 kg Polylactic Acid Material FDM Printing Technology 832-0318

RS PRO 832-0318 PLA 3D Printer Filament 2.85 mm with 1 kg spool is manufactured in Spain and designed specifically for fused deposition modelling (FDM) 3D printing technology.

This polylactic acid (PLA) filament is a biodegradable and user-friendly material, ideal for both home and office environments. Its diameter of 2.85 mm fits most common desktop 3D printers ensuring broad compatibility.

The filament offers good tensile strength and excellent surface quality, allowing the production of high-resolution parts. It features minimal thermal tension and low shrinkage, which prevents deformation during and after cooling. The semi-matte finish adds an aesthetic appeal to printed objects, which are also acetone resistant.

The recommended printing temperature ranges between 180°C to 210°C, with a melting temperature of 210°C. Although a heated bed is not required for PLA, using one set at 50-60°C can improve print adhesion and quality. The heat distortion temperature HDT B (0.45MPa) is 95°C, ensuring the filament maintains dimensional integrity under thermal stress.

RS PRO PLA filament suits various applications including household tools, educational projects, prototyping, architectural models, and show objects. Proper storage with desiccant dehumidifiers is advised to avoid moisture absorption, which could negatively impact print quality.

The filament diameter is consistently 2.85 mm for compatibility with common desktop 3D printers. It is user-friendly, providing good tensile strength and a semi-matte finish. Printing temperature ranges from 180°C minimum to 210°C maximum.

Suitable for creating high-resolution parts with minimal shrinkage and deformation. The material does not require a heated bed but is compatible with one at 50-60°C for better adhesion. Heat distortion temperature HDT B (0.45MPa) is 95°C, ensuring dimensional stability during printing.
