ColorFabb Sky Blue PLA

Colorfabb filament is a unique compound of PLA and PHA. The PHA ensures that the filament is less brittle and tougher than pure PLA. Colorfabb is designed to have very good adhesion between layers.

Build Platform

Colorfabb PLA/PHA performs well on both heated and unheated build paltforms. For those users printing on a cold build paltform we suggest applying masking tape to the build area. The rough surface of the tape will provide enough adhesion for the first layer to stick and print almost without any warping.

Users with a heated build paltform have quite a few options. Most commonly glass or aluminium. For printing directly onto glass or aluminium we suggest the application of a glue stick. A very thin layer will be sufficient to keep your print nicely in place. Another method is dissolving PVA wood glue in water, keeping the consistency similar to that of milk. By applying just a few drops and smearing this our before you start heating the bed will creat a thin layer which will hold the print down very well.

Another option is the use of materials such as Buildtak, PrintBite, PEI or Kapton sheet. These are the preferred choice, as they can last months.

This is by far the best material to print almost anything. It has great precision, amazing layer bonding, high strength and smooth printing. Never had an issue with bed adhesion or any other issues when printing with this material. Can handle overhangs well and all prints always turn out beautifully. Amazing material. I've tried other brands, but i always come back to colorfabb's sky blue PLA. Its stunning. Can't recommend it highly enough.

Good quality filament, looks great

By: Jenna F. on 30 December 2014
Good quality filament, looks great printed at standard resolution on a makerbot (0.2mm) - much better than any purely PLA filament I've tried. It hides layers better, with a genuinely more matte appearance. It also has much less stringiness than PLA, so there's less work cleaning up prints. I've not had any success printing at higher resolutions with default PLA settings. 0.1mm layer height appears to jam the extruder on recent makerbot printers that otherwise work fine with pure PLA materials. Overall a great material if you want to print things quickly at moderate resolution. Looks really great!
