PolyLite ASA is an alternative to ABS with an improved weather resistance. Its UV resistance and excellent mechanical properties make it the perfect choice for real life applications. What is the difference between ASA and ABS? ASA is almost exactly the same as ABS with 1 major difference and 1 minor difference: The major difference is ASA is extremely good at weather resistance. (Resistance to UV light and environmental stress cracking) The minor difference is ASA prints with a nicer matte finish slightly hiding the layer lines. Printing and Drying Settings? Printing Temperature: 240C x 260C Bed Temperature: 75C x 95C Printing Speed: 30mm/s x 50mm/s Fan: OFF Direct Drive: Retraction Distance: 1mm Retraction Speed: 20mm/s Indirect Drive: Retraction Distance: 3mm Retraction Speed: 40mm/s Drying Settings: 70C for 6h (Only if the material has absorbed moisture) Does PolyLite? ASA requires an enclosed 3D printer Yes and no, you can watch the reviews below for more information but the rule of thumb is the bigger your print (more than the size of your fist) the more the enclosure will be required for dimensional stability.

PolyLite PLA is a high-quality PLA designed for reliability and ease of printing. What is Jam-Free Technology? Polymaker Jam-Free Technology increases the heat resistance of the filament itself (not the printed part) to 140C. This prevent any jamming issue due to the hot end heat creep issue. Heat creep is the process of heat spreading irregularly throughout your hot end, softening the filament before entering the melting chamber and jamming the filament by making it expand in the cold end.. The increase of the filament heat resistance from 60C to 140C ensures a Jam-Free experience. (Note the printed part will have the same heat resistance as regular PLA: ~60C) Printing and Drying Settings Printing Temperature: 190C - 230C Bed Temperature: 25C - 60C Printing Speed: 40mm/s - 60mm/s Fan: ON Direct Drive: Retraction Distance: 1mm Retraction Speed: 20mm/s Indirect Drive: Retraction Distance: 3mm Retraction Speed: 40mm/s Drying Settings: 55C for 6h (Only if the material has absorbed moisture) How strong is PolyLite PLA? PolyLite PLA is based on a high molecular weight PLA from Natureworks, which makes it one of the most rigid PLA material on the market. You can check the Young's modulus and bending strength data of PolyLite PLA in its TDS, which represent its rigidity, and compare it with other materials of our portfolio.

Protopasta Carbon Fiber Composite HTPLA is a combination of milled carbon fibers and high-performance PLA. Resulting 3D prints made with our Carbon Fiber HTPLA are demonstrably more rigid, providing excellent structural strength and layer adhesion with very low warpage. The embedded carbon provides a beautiful matte black finish with a slight sheen, resulting in 3D prints with exceptional accuracy, finish, and performance! For exceptional accuracy, finish & performance, choose Carbon Fiber Proto-pasta Carbon Fiber Composite HTPLA is a combination of milled carbon fibers and high-performance, heat treatable PLA (HTPLA). Resulting 3D printed prototypes and end-use parts are characterized by exceptionally stability of form and potential use up to 155 deg C (310 deg F) when heat treated. Finish Printed parts have a beautiful matte black finish with layer hiding sheen and texture. The carbon fibers give the surface a nice sheen and with layer heights under 0.1mm the layers blend into the texture and almost disappear. Performance Printed prototypes and end use parts using Protopasta Carbon Fiber HTPLA are characterized by exceptional stability of form and potential use up to 155 deg C (310 deg F) when heat treated. Carbon fiber's rigidity and hardness results in prints with improved form and function compared to standard HTPLA without carbon fibers. Excellent layer adhesion and minimal warpage (even without a heated bed) make this a great everyday filament for accurate parts. Increased rigidity from the carbon fiber means increased structural support but decreased flexibility, making our Carbon Fiber HTPLA an ideal material for frames, supports, shells, propellers, tools... really anything not expected (or desired) to bend. It is particularly loved by drone builders and and RC hobbyists. Compatibility Adaptable to most PLA-compatible printers. Heated bed recommended for process ease, quality, and reliability, but not required. Printer should allow 3rd party filament, parameter adjustment, and nozzle replacement. Specialized machine adaptation and maintenance may be required for Proto-pasta materials, particularly in continued use of abrasive materials. Some machines may require specific considerations for filament placement, path, adjustments, settings, or other preparation & maintenance. Abrasive materials like Carbon Fiber and Metal Composites may cause premature wear of in line components such as bowden tubes, drive gears, nozzles, and other items in the filament travel path. Serviceable hardware including replaceable nozzles suggested. Wear resistant nozzles?are recommended for extended use. Nozzles wear most quickly with flattening of the tip which affects nozzle diameter & distance to build plate. Inconsistent extrusion, inaccuracy & process instability. Extrusion width & first layer distance adjustments and/or replacement of nozzle. For more on nozzle replacement consider this blog demonstrating nozzle replacement & adjustments on a Prusa MK3. Reduce nozzle wear by minimizing over-extrusion & infill. Finishing Printed parts using Carbon Fiber HTPLA can be shaved/carved with a sharp blade for a smooth finish. Experiment with weathering or other painting techniques for a unique look. Also, expect improved bonding strength with glue compared to plastic without carbon fiber. Carbon Fiber HTPLA is optimized for heat treating (also known as annealing or crystallizing) for higher temperature use. Heat treating creates a more crystalline molecular structure for maintaining stiffness to near melting, thus extending the useful range of HTPLA, but crystallization also creates shrinkage. HTPLA parts should be scaled in slicer to compensate for shrinkage when heat treating. Additional post processes might inlcude sanding or painting. The addition of carbon fiber can lend well to ease of sanding and adhesion of coatings like paint, however, there are also additional safety considerations when generating dust through sanding and fumes through coating. Please seek safe practices with appropriate persona protective (PPE) and ventilation.

Elegoo's PLA filament is a beginner-friendly material based on polylactic acid. The low melting temperature, low warping and high compatibility with various 3D printers make it an excellent choice for your future projects. High-quality materials Elegoo only uses high-quality materials to manufacture the PLA, which results in simple printing, low warping, odourless printing and a glossy surface finish. Reproducible accuracy In the manufacturing process, Elegoo attaches great importance to accuracy and consistency. The manufacturer guarantees a filament diameter of 1.75 mm x 0.02 mm, which is continuously checked during production using a wide variety of test methods. Quality Control & Assurance The winding of the spool is checked by hand to prevent broken filament and to ensure smooth extrusion. Before the material is vacuum-packed, each spool goes through another drying process to remove residual moisture from the material and thus guarantee bubble-free printing without the risk of clogging.

Polymaker PolyLite  PLA (1.75mm)

Protopasta Stainless Steel PLA filament is a dense material that prints as easily as standard PLA but results in heavy cast metal looking prints that can be brushed, sanded, or polished post-print to achieve amazing results. Using real steel powder, this premium, metal-filled steel PLA filament is perfect for jewelry, costumes, props, figurines, crafting, robots, or any other 3D prints needing a truly stainless steel finish. Prints like plastic, polishes like stainless steel! Introducing Stainless Steel-Filled Metal Composite PLA. Using real steel powder, we've created a premium metal PLA filament for 3D prints that finish just like real stainless steel! Our steel composite filament is as versatile as it is beautiful, printing like plastic, but finishing like real metal for beautiful, durable parts from most standard 3D printers. We suggest experimenting with polishing using this starter kit (includes instructional videos). **This filament is more abrasive than standard PLA. Be prepared to replace your nozzle and do 1st layer adjustment. Try a wear resistant and/or larger diameter nozzle for increased service intervals. Available in 1.75 & 2.85 (3) mm diameters. 125g are loose coils, 500g is on a 8" diameter spool, 2kg is on a 12" diameter spool. Usable on most PLA-compatible printers, such as Lulzbot, Makerbot, FlashForge, Dremel, Ultimaker, Printrbot, and more! In filament form, SSPLA is slightly more brittle than standard PLA, and requires extra care when handling. Processing is comparable to standard PLA. No heated bed required. Process may be less consistent on smaller nozzles and/or bowden type machines, We frequently print using direct-drive systems with 0.4mm nozzles, though suggest 0.6mm and 210-230C for the best experience. FINISHING TECHNIQUES: Whether you want your prints to be polished with the same bright mirror finish of shiny steel coins or a naturally rustic finish with an acquired patina reminiscent of an aged steel sculpture, the possibilities are endless with this specialty metal PLA filament. With so many finishing options, the sky is the limit! Here are just a few common finishing techniques for metal composite filaments you might want to try: Wire Brush to expose metal for future oxidation or a bright, satin finish Rock tumble with steel shot for darker, but smooth, shiny look Paint part (black for example) to fill recesses with a contrasting color Polish with a rotary tool, cotton buff, and polishing compound for a bright, mirror finish on high spots (darkens low spots) Polish with paper for a clean, smooth, and bright finish with less darkening Patina (oxidize) exposed metal naturally or accelerate with a 50/50 vinegar/hydrogen peroxide mixture saturated with salt. Place in sealed plastic bag to retain moisture. Heat further accelerates reaction. Try these techniques separately or combine! Change the order or try something new. If you discover a new technique, make something beautiful, or discover something unexpected, share it! When you've got that perfect, WOW finish, consider preserving it with a clear coat or brush applicable water-based, food-safe, and dishwasher safe coating like Modge Podge. APPLICATIONS: Some application ideas include: Faux brick or stone Fixtures or hardware Knobs or buttons Heat sinks or exchangers Fine art & sculpture Emblems, signage, or trophies Jewelry, like pendants or bracelets Cosplay, game pieces, or figurines MATERIAL DATA: Base resin: PLA Additive: Real Steel Powder Particle size: less than 250 micron (0.25mm) Odor: low or no Density: Approx. 2.30 g/cc Length (500g): 97m (1.75mm) and 36m (2.85mm) PRINTER SETTINGS: Speed: 10-20 mm/s 1st layer, 20-80 mm/s rest of part Nozzle Set-point: 185-215C (hottest on 1st layer for best adhesion) Nozzle Actual: maintain set-point, reduce speed if less than Nozzle Type: Standard or wear resistant for extended use Nozzle Diameter: 0.6mm or larger preferred, 0.4mm okay with 0.25mm minimum for experts Layer thickness: 0.15-0.20mm recommended for a balance of quality, reliability, and productivity Bed Temperature: Room-60C (over 60C can worsen warp) Bed Preparation: Elmers purple disappearing glue stick or your other favorite PLA surface preparation This material has been flow optimized and has less moisture uptake than standard PLAs, however composites are still sometimes more tricky to print depending on hardware and software settings. The main challenge is to keep mass flow up (larger nozzle + fast speed) and in a single direction (minimal retraction) to avoid heat soak.

We've become HTPLA ninjas over the last 3 years and this formula is da bomb. Seriously, we created and tested many blends (including those from large, respected material manufactures) before selecting this formula for more durability without sacrificing HTPLA's exceptional stiffness, strength, and layer adhesion. Leading Performance Proto Pasta HTPLA V3 is designed for more consistent flow with less tendency towards clogging compared to Everyday PLA. It also has less moisture uptake compared to HTPLA v2 allowing higher temperature printing (up to 250C or more) for further improved layer adhesion and part strength! HTPLA v3 even outperforms HTPLA-CF based on HTPLA v2 by exhibiting as little as 0.5% shrinkage in x/y and negligible change in z during heat treating of 100% infill parts. Exceptional Quality Less lost time and material with less failed prints. Poor diameter, wet, and brittle filament can reduce reliability. That's why we implement dynamic diameter feedback, introduce no moisture during extrusion, and improved durability for HTPLA v3. Competitive Cost We're next leveling the business with more space, more extruders, and more productivity to reach a new economy of scale. We're sharing that advancement with you by bringing you more product for less. Less Waste HTPLA, like standard PLA, has a more eco-friendly, bio-renewable origin with less out-gassing and nano-particle emissions than most plastics, but then many companies spool PLA onto petroleum based, non-recyclable reels creating unnecessary plastic waste! Next, they add additional wasteful packaging like multiple boxes. Finally, they often out-source materials from far away at additional cost to the environment. We're controlling our carbon footprint and minimizing environmental impact by sourcing local materials, adding nothing unnecessary, and minimizing packaging waste. We lead the industry with locally-made, 100% recyclable cardboard spools that are both lightweight to ship and locally recyclable. Made By Makers Best of all, Proto-pasta is made by engineering professionals at Protoplant who are passionate about making things and improving our world - just like you! When you purchase Proto-pasta, you can feel good about supporting small business, future innovation, the environment, and hard working folks that love 3D Printing, technology, and tinkering as much as you do! Printing HTPLA like PLA at can print at 200C or less, though exceptional mechanical results were achieved printing up to 250C or more for nearly twice the layer strength compared to 230C in our tests. Adjust layer fan and build rate for surface quality. Though a heated bed is not required, larger, more solid parts can benefit from bed temps up to 70C. Standard build surface preparation like blue tape or glue stick work best along with slow (10-20 mm/s) and hot (220C+) 1st layer with enough gap not to restrict material extrusion. Heat Treating PLA and HTPLA as printed, though both adequate performers in an office environment, have poor temperature stability, loosing significant stiffness at temperatures not much above 50C. Different than standard PLA, HTPLA is designed to survive heat treating for higher temperature stability in a no/minimal load condition to near melting. That's an astonishing 3x+ improvement in thermal stability compared to standard PLA after a quick bake in the oven after printing. In as little as 5-10 minutes for small, thin parts and as much a few hours for massive parts, HTPLA v3 parts crystallize in an oven at 110C +/- 10C (200-250F) to become more stiff. Depending on part geometry, setup, and technique, parts can deform and shrink. Best results are with flat and/or supported parts with 100% infill. In this instance we experienced x/y shrinkage of only 0.5% and negligible z change. Be sure to avoid hot spots (non-radiating surfaces and no glowing coils) in the oven used for baking and experiment before baking a prized part. Heat treating is an art, but the resulting improved thermal performance, if needed, is well-worth experimenting to learn more. You'll be blown away by just how improved the thermal stability of your HTPLA v3 parts will be!

<p>Not your everyday PLA, HTPLA V3 offers the ease of PLA printing with such exceptional quality, compatibility, reliability, durability, performance, and finish that you'll want to use it every day! <strong>Protopasta's Premium HTPLA v3 </strong>is our own exclusive, unique formulation based on extensive in-house testing and our industry-leading experience working with <em>heat treatable </em>PLA.
