MakerBot PLA Natural 1.75mm Precision Filament 750g for METHOD
The MakerBot PLA Precision Filament in Natural is engineered specifically for MakerBot METHOD and METHOD X 3D printers, delivering rigid and glossy parts perfect for quick and easy, office-friendly prototyping. This 1.75mm PLA filament features a Smart Spool system with integrated RFID chip that automatically communicates material type, color, and remaining quantity to MakerBot Print software for seamless material management. Made from corn-based, biodegradable thermoplastic, this precision filament is non-toxic, virtually odorless, and prints with exceptional reliability and dimensional accuracy.
Key Features
-
Smart Spool Technology: RFID chip wirelessly sends material information to MakerBot Print for real-time tracking
-
Precision Manufacturing: Manufactured to exact 1.75mm diameter specifications for consistent, reliable prints
-
Office-Friendly Material: Non-toxic, almost completely odorless, prints at low temperatures with minimal warping
-
High Dimensional Accuracy: Sharp corners and edges print flawlessly with virtually no curling
-
Fast Support Removal: Works perfectly with breakaway supports that remove faster than dissolvable alternatives
-
Eco-Conscious: Corn-based PLA is biodegradable under industrial processes
Ideal Applications
PLA Precision Filament is the go-to choice for early-stage concept development, design validation, and rapid prototyping in office and educational environments. Its ease of use and reliable performance make it perfect for creating functional prototypes, architectural models, educational projects, and presentation pieces with a professional glossy finish.
Smart Spool System
Each spool comes in a vacuum-sealed Mylar bag to preserve material quality until opening. The integrated RFID chip on the Smart Spool automatically provides material type, color, and remaining filament quantity directly to MakerBot Print software. A built-in desiccant ensures low moisture content when stored in the METHOD printer's material drawer.
Material Properties
This precision PLA is optimized with the slicing algorithm in MakerBot software and offers excellent mechanical properties including 62 MPa tensile strength, 3,600 MPa tensile modulus, and 52-49°C heat deflection temperature. The material prints at a consistent 210°C extruder temperature with glass transition at 60-65°C.
