Are you looking to buy Polymaker PolyLite PLA+ Pro 1.75mm Filament 5kg in Australia?
PolyLite™ is a family of 3D printing filaments made with the best raw materials to deliver exceptional quality and reliability. PolyLite™ PLA Pro is a first of its kind: combining high toughness and high rigidity, this professional PLA+ offers engineering properties with the ease of print of regular PLA.
Features
- Mechanically Enhanced - Polymaker PolyLite PLA Pro is a toughness enhanced PLA+ filament which has even higher impact strength than regular ABS. At the same time, it also features a 1.6 times of rigidity as other toughness enhanced PLA filaments. The excellent combination of toughness and stiffness is a real breakthrough for the 3D printing industry, making it a perfect choice for mechanically demanding applications.
- Compatibility In Mind - PolyLite™ PLA Pro is compatible with a wide range of 3D printers and works well with many common printing surfaces and a 30 - 60°C heated bed.
- Jam-Free™ technology - PolyLite™ PLA Pro is manufactured with Polymakers Jam-Free™ technology which improves the heat stability of the filament with softening temperatures over 140°C and leads to excellent printing quality with zero risk of nozzle jams caused by heat creep [1].
- Uncompromised Quality - PolyLite™ PLA filament is made with the highest quality ingredients including Ingeo® from Natureworks. Natureworks is a world-leading biopolymers supplier based in the USA with a portfolio of high quality raw PLA materials produced from rapidly renewable plant resources. Combining Polymakers innovative R&D technologies, compounding and extrusion systems with Natureworks Ingeo® resins produces a reliable 3D printing filament to print beautiful and accurate models.
[1] Heat creep is the the process of heat spreading irregularly throughout the hot end, one common example is with all metal hot end designs. Once heat creeps towards the cold end, the PLA filament softens prematurely in the cold end and expands resulting in a jam. Polymakers Jam-Free™ technology increases the heat resistance of the filament itself (not the printed part) to 140˚C which prevents the filament from prematurely softening in the cold end and can still melt rapidly once entering the heating zone.
Printing Settings
- Nozzle Temperature: 190°C - 200°C
- Build Plate Temperature: 30°C - 60°C
- Build Surface Material: Works well with most build surfaces i.e Glass Blue Tape, BuildTak® etc
- Build Surface Treatment: Can apply Magigoo Original or PVA glue to the build surface to improve adhesion
- Cooling Fan: ON
- Printing Speed: 30mm/s - 70mm/s
- Retraction: The ideal retraction settings vary from printer to printer, the following settings may help.
- Direct Drive: Retraction distance of 1mm with retraction speed of 30mm/s
- Bowden: Retraction distance of 3mm with retraction speed of 60mm/s
- Recommended Support Material:
- Single Extrusion: Self Support
- Dual Extrusion:
- PolyDissolve™ S1 (Dissolve in tap water)
- PolySupport™ (Easy break-away support material)
The above are printing recommendations based on 0.4 mm nozzle. Please note ideal printing conditions may vary depending on your 3D printer setup. For high speed 3D printers, make sure to increase your extrusion temperature in order to use higher printing speeds.
Specifications
- Net Weight: 5kg
- Material Type: PLA+
- Density: 1.22 (g/cm3 at 21.5˚C)
Compatibility
PolyLite™ PLA Pro has been engineered with compatibility in mind to print excellently on a wide range of 3D printers. The Jam-Free™ technology implemented into PolyLite™ PLA Pro can improve compatibility with all metal hot end designs that suffer from heat creep.
Of course with thousands of unique 3d printer models on the market, we can't guarantee each filament type will work with every 3D printer. Slicer experience and setting adjustment is always required to get the most out of a material. Before jumping into an ambitious project we always recommend printing some known calibration tests to build or make adjustments to the filament profile.
