Poly Lactic Acid (PLA) is a plastic made from renewable natural resources and one of the most popular materials for 3D printing. Plastics such as PLA are the most popular 3D printing material due to its simplicity, dimensional accuracy and low cost.
RS PRO METALLIC PLA is a highly aesthetical PLA based filament with sparkling flakes inside. Slightly modified, the filament retains the typical features of PLA, but is tougher and less brittle. The sparkling flakes helps concealing layer lines. Because of the translucency of PLA combined with the flakes, the colour saturation can be increased by increasing wall thickness. No need for special nozzle as the material is not abrasive. It is recommended to purge the nozzle after printing, to prevent build-up of flakes for the next print
Easy to print at low temperature Beautiful metallic effect Low warping Layers are not visible Limited smell Not abrasive
