PLA filament

PLA (Polylactic Acid) is the most widely used plastic filament for FDM 3D printers.

It is a bioplastic made from renewable resources like cornstarch or sugarcane. As a result, it is biodegradable under industrial conditions and emits a sweet scent during printing.

Key Characteristics

Easy to print: Hardly shrinks, meaning very low risk of warping.
Low melting temperature: Prints easily between 190 °C and 220 °C (374 °F - 428 °F).
No heated bed required: A heated bed is optional (50-60 °C helps with adhesion).
High level of detail: Ideal for sharp lines and smooth surfaces.
