PLA is the simplest material for 3D printing. It is inexpensive and suitable for both beginners and advanced users. It can be used to print detailed models, figures and rapid prototypes that do not require increased mechanical, chemical or temperature resistance.

PLA is the most widely used filament, known for its great appearance and easy printability. Due to its low thermal expansion, it curls only minimally during printing, making it an excellent choice for printing large objects. At the same time, its low melting point makes it suitable for small parts.

While PLA is not as tough and durable as some advanced materials, its versatility makes it ideal for a variety of applications, including large objects, miniatures, concept models, and prototypes that don't need to be particularly durable.

Beginner Tips and Tricks:

• Sanding
  It is better to use wet sanding when processing PLA. Without water, you will quickly heat the plastic by friction, it will melt and deform locally. Without water, the abrasive material would also easily get stuck.
  
• Bonding
  PLA can be bonded with many types of adhesives. For most parts, we recommend using superglue. Some PLA filaments can also be bonded with acetone, but this depends heavily on the various additives and colors used.
