ORIGINAL PRUSA PRUSAMENT AUSTRALIA 3D PRINTER FILAMENT GALAXY BLACK PLA+ 1KG

 

Original Prusament PLA Australia, in-stock and ready for immediate dispatch.

 

Prusament PLA Galaxy Black is Prusa's in-house filament carefully monitored and tested to guarantee a 0.02mm precision throughout the entire spool with highly-consistent colours. Each spool comes with a QR code to inspect the parameters and the manufacturing data. 

• Manufactured In-House by Josef Prusa: We were not satisfied with the quality of filaments on the market. So we decided to make our own! Prusa Research is the only 3D printer manufacturer with its own filament production.

• Premium-Grade Materials And Thorough Testing: The whole manufacturing process is closely monitored and tested – string diameter, color consistency, and mechanical properties – to make sure that every spool is perfect.

• ± 0.02 mm Manufacturing Guaranteed Precision: We believe the industry standard of 0.05 mm isn’t sufficient for perfect 3D printing. Instead, we guarantee ±0.02mm precision (± 0,03 for blends) and highly-consistent colors in our filaments.

• High Quality You Can Check Yourself: We are the only manufacturer that gives the option to inspect parameters of every filament spool. Scan a QR code on the spool to see all details online 

 

 

About Prusament PLA:

 

PLA melts at a relatively low temperature of about 175 degrees Celsius. Unlike so-called thermoset materials, PLA can be heated past its melting point multiple times with very little degradation. It’s a hard material, but that also means it’s somewhat brittle, and once it breaks, it likes to shatter. Only this material is proven for 50 microns layer height.

However, PLA is not a perfect material and, just like every other plastic, has some disadvantages. The low melting temperature also means low-temperature resistance. Parts start to lose mechanical strength at temperatures over 60 °C.

The combination of being low in UV and temperature resistance means that it’s not ideal for outdoor use. Also, PLA is only soluble in chemicals like chloroform or hot benzene. So when connecting multiple pieces, you’re better off using just glue.

Even though PLA is on its own food safe, we do not recommend repeatedly drinking or eating from your 3D prints. Because of the small fractures on the print surface, bacteria can build up in there over time. You can prevent this by applying a food-safe coating. When post-processing PLA, it’s better to use wet sanding. Without water, you'll quickly start heating the plastic by friction, which will cause it to soften and make it hard to keep sanding.
