PLA 3D Printing Guide Covers Material Properties, Print Settings & Storage
So, you’re getting started with 3D printing and you want to know what the best materials are? Well, if you’re looking for a planet-friendly option, polylactic acid (PLA) is king.
It captures detail like a champ, but left out to the elements it'll break down after a year!
That's one of the main reasons it's become one of the go-to choices for modeling projects of all varieties – from D&D monsters to food containers!
This Functionalize guide covers everything you need to know about PLA and what makes it so versatile. It solidifies quickly after being heated and extruded from the print nozzle, enabling crisp edges and intricate designs.
Because it emits negligible fumes when heated, it is safer to print with compared to other plastics.
Functionalize also notes PLA's enhanced durability and strength compared to traditional ABS plastics.
