Office and Classroom Friendly Material
MakerBot PLA is a nontoxic, biodegradable material that is safe to use in offices, classrooms, and domestic environments. The True Blue color produces vibrant, professional-looking prints with a fine, smooth surface finish. PLA offers good part stiffness and maintains its form up to its breaking point, making it suitable for inspection gauges, functional prototypes, and decorative models.
Print Specifications and Compatibility
This 1.75mm filament features a glass transition temperature of 60-65°C and a melting temperature of 150-160°C, with an optimal nozzle temperature of 230°C. The filament is compatible with MakerBot Replicator 2, MakerBot Replicator (5th Generation), and MakerBot Replicator Z18 3D printers. Every color is rigorously tested to perform every feature that MakerBot MakerWare and MakerBot Desktop software offers.
Storage and Best Practices
To ensure optimal filament quality and performance, store MakerBot PLA Filament in a cool, dry place when not in use, as PLA can absorb moisture from the air during prolonged exposure to humidity. For best results, ensure your build plate is level, clean, and oil-free. Use your 3D printer in a well-ventilated area. For prints with large bottom layers that may curl, use rafts to prevent warping.
