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 Crystal Clear is made from material with improved heat resistance in comparison with standard PLA filaments.
Thanks to its optical properties, objects printed from this filament have high clarity and gloss. In thin layer, the product excels by its transparency.
PLA Crystal Clear filament is made of natural ingredients and is easily biodegradable by composting. It complies with the requirements for food contact.
Fillamentum guarantees high precision of filament dimensions within the tolerance of +/- 0,05 mm, which is strictly controlled throughout the production.

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.
