Fillamentum Extrafill PLA gold happens

Fillamentum PLA Extrafill is a material for the FFF (also known as FDM) 3D printing technology.

The advantage of this material is that it can be used in 3D printers easily, that it allows a high quality of printing even in tricky details and an excellent lamination of the printed object.

PLA filament is made of natural ingredients and is easily biodegradable by composting. It complies with the require-ments for food contact.

The material may be used for production of electrical and electronic equipment. It doesn’t contain the restricted substances.

Fillamentum guarantees high precision of filament dimensions within the tolerance of +/- 0,05 mm, which is strictly controlled throughout the production.

Printing filaments reported on the marked under the trademark Fillamentum are produced in a wide variety of colours in accordance with the colour charts RAL and Pantone, and also in own unique colour ranges.

Hotend

In case you are going to print only PLA we do not recommend using all-metal hotend. It may cause jams if the inside of the heatbreak is not made well. Therefore, it is reasonable to use hotends with PTFE which is pretty good for PLA printing only.

Surface

To achieve more matte surfaces use lower printing temperatures around 180–190 °C. If you are interested in glossier surfaces, use higher temperatures of printing.
