About this deal

With the versatile Modifi3D Pro finishing tool you can easily make modifications and repairs to your 3D printed objects. You can also improve the surface finish with this tool. This way you can perfect a 3D object down to the last detail after printing. Of course, it’s worth noting that the typical print speed of PLA is 60 mm/s, so you probably won’t get up to 80 or 100 mm/s, but having the ability to do so when time is running out is always nice. This PLA Recycled filament from REAL is just as user-friendly as regular PLA, but slightly better for the environment! The filament has a diameter of 1.75mm and an ideal print temperature of 210°C. In addition, the filament does not shrink during cooling and with this ultra-strong PLA you will hardly suffer from warping. For best results, print with a heated bed at a temperature between 60°C and 80°C.

This high-quality Ultrafuse Pro1 Tough PLA filament from BASF is a guarantee for even faster and more consistent 3D printing. The extra strong and versatile material is as strong as ABS (one of the strongest filament types). Yet you can print with it just as easily as the very user-friendly PLA. PLA is widely considered the most environmentally friendly 3D printing filament. PLA+ filaments tend to be less biodegradable and environmentally friendly than regular PLA options because of the different additives used to make this material. However, compared to oil-based materials like ABS, PLA+ is still a very environmentally-friendy option. PLA (Polylactic Acid) is a thermoplastic polymer made from renewable resources such as corn starch, sugarcane, or other starch-rich crops. It is commonly used as a 3D printing filament for a variety of reasons, including:PLA is generally considered the easier material to print with than PLA+, but PLA+ also has some advantages. Dimensional accuracy is very important if you need your 3D prints to be a certain size to fit in, on, or around another part. Typically, the better the tolerance of a filament, the more dimensionally accurate the prints will be.

When it comes to determining a material’s heat resistance, the rule of thumb is to look at the suggested bed temperature, as this is the softening point (AKA glass transition temperature). PLA+ filament tends to offer more heat resistance than standard PLA, typically requiring slightly higher bed temperatures.

PLA can be chemically recycled to create a monomer that can be manufactured into virgin PLA. PLA can also be chemically recycled to create methyl lactate. Industrial, high-temperature composting conditions allow for chemical hydrolysis followed by microbial digestion to degrade the PLA. General Properties of PLA PLA Tough is comparable in strength to ABS (one of the strongest filament types), but is just as easy to print with as PLA. Ideal for industrial applications where a lot of force is applied to the printed object, such as tools or parts for your 3D printer. It’s important to note that different companies each have their own unique PLA+ formula with a distinct set of additives, meaning different PLA+ filaments will perform differently. For example, some PLA+ filaments might contain TPU to make prints more impact-resistant, while others might contain other additives that increase rigidity.

But, many other factors, such as build plate texture, bed leveling, and extruder calibration, play into the surface finish of a 3D print, so PLA+ prints might not always be glossier than PLA prints. For example, a simple printing issue like stringing can cause a PLA+ print to come out looking hideous! Dimensional Accuracy But, if your 3D printer doesn’t have an enclosure, I strongly suggest avoiding ABS as printing in an open-air environment almost always yields low-quality or failed prints. PETG PLA Tough is comparable in strength to ABS (one of the strongest filament types), but is just as easy to print with as PLA. Ideal for industrial applications where a lot of force is applied to the printed object. Think of tools or parts for your 3D printer. But, other than that, the post-processing for these materials is the same, so feel free to sand, layer smooth (with IPA), prime, paint, and polish your PLA or PLA+ prints. Color Options

Because PLA and PLA+ are sourced from most of the same raw materials, what post-processing techniques you can use are all the same. The only minor difference is that PLA+ prints tend to be smoother from the get-go than PLA parts, so the sanding process might take less time.
