1.75mm, PLA filament, Ultimate, Green, 0.75kg <b>General</b>
PLA is one of the most popular materials for 3D printing. And for a reason: it has a relatively low melting temperature, low warp properties and is biodegradable (at least under warm and moist conditions). This 1.75mm PLA filament is a hard and strong plastic especially produced for 3D printing, use it to your imagination!

<b>Temperature properties</b>
For successful printing correct temperature settings are essential. At the glass transition temperature the polymer changes technically from a solid to a rubber. As a result the strength of PLA parts is reduced when used above this temperature. At the melting temperature (it is more a melting range to be precise), the viscosity drops dramatically and the polymer can be pushed through a nozzle. Doesn't that sound like printing? The printing temperature is always higher than the melting temperature to achieve proper heat transfer to the filament.
