The T-PLA is available in 1 color. Samples of 50gr. are available (in grey only). Make your choice!

T-PLA is a type of PLA filament that is robust, easy to use and of superior quality. The dark gray color will naturally change above 29°C, but faster above 33°C or higher. The other characteristics correspond to pla but slightly modified, therefore more robust and less fragile than a traditional PLA. Due to its low tendency to retract, the PLA will not deform after cooling. Poly-lactic acid is a biodegradable plastic made from renewable natural resources and makes it one of the most popular materials in 3D printing.

Directions for use:
– The recommended temperature for the heating mat is ± 35 – 60°C. Due to its low tendency to retract, the T-PLA can also be printed without a heating mat. Despite its low tendency to retract, we recommend using a hook like the EZ Stick (for any type of parts), an adhesive such as the Blue Tape or PET (for small parts), glue (for large parts), or even both (Blue Tape or PET and glue). If you use glue, no need to put it on the entire surface of the part, but only on the contours or areas at risk of retraction.
– T-PLA can be used on all filament deposition 3D printers.

Storage tips:
– Our filaments are filmed, in a cardboard box without window filmed also to ensure the good conservation of the product until the moment of use.
– Store it in a cold and dry environment (15 – 25 ° C), away from light (UV) and under vacuum (to stay dry). We recommend that, after each use, you vacuum it by slipping a silica gel pouch into it and in its box protected from UV. Good storage significantly increases the shelf life of your filament.
