Polymaker PolyLite PLA 1.75mm Filament 1kg

Are you looking to buy Polymaker PolyLite PLA in Australia?

PolyLiteTM is a family of 3D printing filaments made with the best raw materials to deliver

exceptional quality and reliability. PolyLiteTM covers the most popular 3D printing materials to

meet your everyday needs in design and prototyping. PolyLiteTM PLA is a high-quality PLA

designed for reliability and ease of printing.

Features:

Strength and Rigidity - PolyLiteTM PLA is based on a high molecular weight PLA from

Natureworks, which makes it one of the most rigid PLA materials on the market. The

combination of good tensile strength, inter-layer adhesion and stiffness makes PolyLiteTM PLA

ideal for product design and prototyping applications that require a rigid material that is easy

to print.

Compatibility In Mind - PolyLiteTM PLA is a high quality PLA filament compatible with a wide

range of 3D printers including models from Creality, FlashForge, Monoprice, Lulzbot,

Makerbot, Ultimaker, Prusa Research, Raise3D, Tiertime and other popular extrusion based

3D printers. PolyLiteTM PLA can be printed without a heated bed and works well with common

printing surfaces, though a heated bed can be used to achieve better results (maximum

60°C).

Jam-FreeTM technology - PolyLiteTM PLA is manufactured with Polymakers Jam-FreeTM

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 - PolyLiteTM 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

Heat creep is 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-FreeTM 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. The printed part will have the same heat resistance

as regular PLA: ~60 ̊C.

Disclaimer: The typical values presented in Polymakers data sheet are intended for

reference and comparison purposes only. Due to the nature of 3D printing they should not

be used for design specifications or quality control purposes.

Storage: It is recommended to store PolyLiteTM PLA in the PolyBoxTM to prevent moisture

absorption which will lower the quality and the mechanical properties of the print. If the

filament has absorbed moisture it can be dried at 55 ̊C for 6 hours in a convection oven.
