Are you looking to buy Colorfabb LW-PLA HT Light Weight Foaming PLA Filament 1.75mm in Australia?
Are you looking for Colorfabb Light Weight PLA HT in Australia?
Meet our new & improved LW-PLA-HT. This formulation features an increased temperature resistance compared to our original LW-PLA.
Thin printed structures will be able to handle heat from external sources such as the sun much better and prolong the time until failure. Not convinced? Check out our comparison video in the image gallery between regular LW-PLA and LW-PLA-HT.
Our LW-PLA-HT is the best filament for printing RC Planes, Cosplay and other light weight items. Parts are feather light, yet retain good strength and are easy to cut, trim and sand.

Pros
- Better heat resistance compared to LW-PLA
- Print light weight parts due to active foaming process
- Darker colors are less prone to heat deformation
- Takes paint really well
Cons
-
Slightly higher density at maximum foaming, compared to LW-PLA
-
You’ll have to adjust your LW-PLA gcodes to accommodate LW-PLA-HT
-
Higher temperature resistance of the material can lead to more warping

Printing Advice
For printing thin structures such as RC plane parts we recommend printing the first layer at 100% flow using 200C printing temperature. Then increase the temperature for the second layer (around 235C) to activate the foaming and reduce flow to 50-60%.

- Adviced 3d print speed 40 - 100 mm/s
- Advised Heated bed (if you have one, not strictly necessary): 50-60C
