Prusament Premium PLA Mystic Green 1kg

Product detailed description

Prusament PLA is Prusa Research's own in-house produced filament. The entire production process is carefully monitored and measured - thanks to this, the manufacturer guarantees a manufacturing deviation of ±0.02mm (±0.03mm for mixtures) and high color stability.

PRUSAMENT MYSTIC: Tips and Tricks

Change Nozzle Temperature
The optical properties of the filament change depending on the printing temperature. The higher the nozzle temperature when printing, the shinier the resulting model will be.

Layer Height
The color will start to become more vibrant when printing with higher layers. You will achieve the most vibrant results with larger nozzles and a layer higher than 0.3mm.

Varies by viewing angle
The color changes depending on the viewing angle. Look at the resulting model from multiple angles and you will see the changing color reflections.

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. Its low thermal expansion means it will warp minimally during printing, making it an excellent choice for printing large objects. Its low melting point also 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 range of applications, including large objects, miniatures, concept models and prototypes that don’t need to be particularly durable.

Print Settings:
Nozzle - 215 °C
Heated Bed - 50-60 °C
Recommended Print Plate - Smooth PEI / Textured (Grainy Surface) / Satin

Features:

+ Easy to Print
+ Suitable for prints of any size
+ Hard
+ Does not deform

- Brittle
- Low resistance to high temperatures
- Difficult to sand (hard material, easy to melt)

Tips and Tricks for Beginners:

• Sanding
  When processing PLA, it is better to use wet sanding. Without water, you will quickly heat the plastic by friction, it will melt and deform locally. Without water, the sanding 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 glued with acetone, but it depends heavily on the various additives and colors used.
