Professional Lab PLA black

Professional Lab PLA Filament

Prof. Lab PLA is a filament designed for easy and affordable printing, where efficiency and low cost are key. It is a material that combines simple printability, predictable results, and a smooth surface, making it a practical choice for a wide range of applications – from rapid prototyping to printing figures and parts that do not require high mechanical resistance.

This material is made from polylactic acid (PLA). It releases only a minimal odour during printing, allowing for comfortable work even in a home environment. The manufacturing process focuses on maintaining consistent basic parameters so that the material serves its purpose as a fundamental filament for hobby use.

Consistent Diameter and Smooth Printing

This filament is designed with a focus on essential parameters to minimise printing errors.

• Dimensional Tolerance: The filament diameter is maintained within a tolerance of ±0.03 mm, which contributes to a smooth passage through the extruder and uniform material extrusion.
• Careful Winding: The spool is wound to reduce the risk of the filament getting tangled during printing.
• Stable Diameter: A consistent filament diameter along the entire length of the spool is fundamental for achieving repeatable results.

Ease of Use and Wide Compatibility

Prof. Lab PLA is a material that is easy to work with, allowing you to achieve good results without complex adjustments.

• Low Tendency to Warp: The material has low thermal shrinkage (1.5–2.5%), which makes printing easier even on printers without an enclosed chamber.
• Good Adhesion: The filament features good adhesion to both the print bed and between individual layers, resulting in coherent prints.
• Compatibility with AMS Lite: This spool has a larger central hole diameter (75 mm). For seamless use in the Bambu Lab AMS Lite system, the manufacturer recommends printing an adapter.

Safety and Compliance

• RoHS Compliance: The filament complies with the RoHS directive, which confirms that it does not contain specific hazardous substances.

Recommended Printing Parameters

• Nozzle Temperature: 180–220 °C
• Bed Temperature: 40–60 °C
• Print Speed: 30–70 mm/s
• Cooling: On

Note: The specified values are recommendations and may vary depending on the specific printer, nozzle diameter, and ambient conditions. It is always a good idea to start with the recommended settings and adjust them if necessary.

Storage Recommendations

Store in a dry place, ideally in a sealed package with a desiccant (silica gel).
