GT PLA Filament is a kind of Biological based PLA printing consumables especially designed and developed on the basis of 3D printer.

 

 

PLA Filament with 1kg spool
3D printer has been used by designers, engineers and scientists to produce the disposable mechanical products and model, and it is already widely used in health care, education, toys, building, automobile, electronics, and anime field.

PLA, ABS filaments for RepRap 3D Printer
PLA is the ideal material for a Mendel RepRap. It is dimensionally stable, so there is no need for a heated bed. It is relatively inexpensive, and is not hard ABS), easily to shape the 3D model.

It does require some torque to move PLA through an extruder because of its higher coefficient of friction (relative to ABS), so it is recommended that you use a Geared_NEMA17_Extruder or Geared_NEMA17_Extruder_Driver vs the stock mendel extruder.

Build Surface
PLA bonds very firmly to Acrylic, and it is not recommended to print directly on an Acrylic build surface.
It does stick well and is removed easily from BlueTape
It can also be printed on Polyimide(Kapton) that is pre-heated, but will be hard to remove until both the part and the surface are cooled.
It can also be printed directly onto heated glass
PLA prints nicely directly to a lightly oiled sheet of polycarbonate/Lexan. No heat is necessary.

Moisture Issues
PLA can absorb moisture from the air. When it is heated this moisture can turn to steam bubbles Small amounts of PLA filament can have some moisture removed by putting it on a piece of aluminum foil in an oven heated to 170F for an hour. The filament in the oven is floppy, but sticks to itself only slightly. Flexing the coils after cooling unsticks them from each other. Heating a whole spool this way has not been tried, and may result in the spool becoming unusable, so caution is advised.
Interestingly, a weight change can be seen after baking. One coil went from 120.5 grams to 120.0 grams (almost 1/2%).

 

 

 

Advantages:

 

 

• PLA is a bioplastic, meaning it is made from renewable natural resources.
• It is also biodegradable in commercial compost facility.
• It is easier to print (less warping) then ABS.
• It smells very nice too!!

Colors of ABS Filament and PLA Filament 

 

    Natural, white, black, red, sky blue, dark blue ,florescent green, dark green, florescent yellow, dark yellow ,orange, purple, pink, grey, brown, glow in dark etc.

 

Order quantity from factory:
We have 3 to 10 tons in stock each month, about 50-100kg of each kind .
when you can order one material(PLA or ABS), one  color (natural, white, black, red, green, yellow, orange, blue, purple, grey),one diameter(1.75/3.0mm), minimum quantity 100kg, you can get the best factory price, you can start from natural, white, black, since these three colors are sold well.

Quality is a top priority! All of our products receive a full quality assessment as part of our production process. We run analysis on melt index, strength, elasticity as well as testing impact tolerances. We also have a full research and development department. This group is ready to modify/improve the properties of our standard products to match your company's specific needs.

 

Diameter Continuance Control of ABS Filament and PLA Filament

    Control PLA and ABS filament diameter continuous, concern about the cooling water ,temperature is warm or cool, each plumbing flowing water temperature is stable the same or different ,etc, much factors will affect the diameter continuance.

      We build quality control system, that we buy 3D printer in office to test each produce batch filament, include PLA and ABS ,to make sure each one is qualify printing on 3D printer.
