Get outstanding 3D printing results when you use 1.75mm or 3.0mm PLA 3D Printer Filament from Monoprice™! PLA is a good choice for a printing material if you are looking for high accuracy and high resolution. It extrudes at lower temperatures, does not require a heated base, and has a very low shrinkage rate (0.3%). PLA is harder than ABS, but is therefore also a bit more brittle. This 1 kg spool features a thickness of 1.75mm or 3.0mm ±0.10mm, with a roundness variation of only 0.03mm. It has a nominal processing temperature of 185° C (365°F). Thickness and roundness factors are laser measured at the factory to ensure accuracy over the entire length of the filament. The negatives of using PLA is that it is vulnerable to degradation from moisture, sunlight, and heat. Additionally, it is more prone to overheating during processing, which can cause dripping and drooping if it gets too hot. Features: 1.75mm or 3.0mm x 0.10mm PLA filament with roundness variation of less than 0.03mm It has a nominal processing temperature of 185° C (365°F) 195mm reel diameter, 95mm hub diameter, 38mm spindle diameter, 80mm reel width 1 Kg reel Extrudes at lower temperatures, does not require a heated base, and has a very low shrinkage rate (0.3%) PLA is a plant-based plastic, which means that it is biodegradable and gives off a slightly sweet odor, like roasting corn Filament Type Monoprice™ PLA Print Temperature (°C) 190‑210 Bed Temperature (°C) No Heat (60‑80) Density (g/cm3) 1.24 Distortion Temperature (°C, 0.45 MPa) 56 Melt Flow Index (g/10 min) 5 (190°C/2.16kg) Tensile Strength (MPa) 65 Elongation at Break (%) 8 Bending Strength (MPa) 97 Flexural Modulus (MPa) 3600 IZOD Impact Strength (kJ/m2) 4 Support Files: Filament Comparison Chart
