Listed values and ratings are starting points, not verified test results. Formulations, prices, test methods and printer settings vary. Confirm details on the manufacturer page below.
Food-contact suitability cannot be determined from material type alone. Check the exact product's manufacturer guidance and the finished part's intended use.
Where it shines
PLA toughness boosted to ABS-like impact resistance without ABS hassles.
Common use cases: indoor-mechanical-light, prototyping, impact-prone.
Where it falls short
Still heat-sensitive (PLA glass transition); not for hot environments.
Print profile starting point
- Nozzle temp: start at 220°C and tune ±5°C for surface finish.
- Bed temp: 25°C is usually enough for adhesion; go up toward 60°C if first layer struggles.
