Gembird PLA galaxy blue 1 kg

Gembird PLA Filament 1.75 mm

PLA filament from Gembird is a fundamental material for FDM 3D printers, made from renewable resources. Thanks to its biodegradability, it represents an environmentally friendly choice.

This filament excels in low thermal expansion and minimal warping, making it an ideal solution for printing larger models. It is perfect for decorative items, prototypes, and hobby projects where high mechanical or thermal resistance is not required.

Storage and Maintenance

The filament is delivered vacuum-packed with a moisture absorber to ensure optimal printing properties. For long-term storage, we recommend:

• Avoiding direct sunlight exposure
• Storing in a dry place at room temperature
• Keeps in a resealable bag withsilica gel beads , or usea filament dryer like PolyDryer , which offers effective drying and protection against moisture. In case of moisture absorption, dry the filament at 45-50 °C for 4-6 hours.

Packing and Accessories

• A vacuum-packed spool with moisture protection
• A silica gel sachet included in the package
• A cardboard box for safe storage
• A sticker with recommended printing parameters included in the package
