PLA is the most widely known type of 3D filament, probably because it is one of the easiest 3D filaments to print with and does not easily warp, hence it doesn’t require a heated print bed (although it is definitely helpful to heat it). Another advantage of using PLA is that it is considered an odorless filament and is more environmentally friendly than many other 3D printer filaments.
So it seems like a perfect 3D filament but, just like any other plastic, it has some downsides; PLA material has low-temperature resistance and will start to lose mechanical strength at temperatures above 60 °C. It is also important to remember that this filament is brittle, so avoid creating 3D models from PLA that might be bent, twisted, or repeatedly dropped. Rather use it to make 3D models such as decorations, low-wear toys, prototype parts, and containers.
Even though our PLA filament is made from materials that are food-safe, we do not recommend frequently drinking or eating using your 3D prints, because bacteria can accumulate over time.
Our PLA filament is compatible with pretty much all 3D printers, including Creality and MakerBot, Ultimaker, Artillery, Flashforge, Creatbot, Makergear, Bukobot, Type A Machines, and many more.
AzureFilm PLA filaments come in different colors and options; from basic colors such as white and black to glow-in-the-dark properties or those combined with real wood or glitter.
