Product Information

Set your upper support separation layers to 2 and the lower support separation at 0 if you are on the bed, 1 if you are using "normal" supports. Depending upon the filament (harder PLA comes off easier) you can set the upper to 1 as well. Doug Knightly set me on the right way for using and loving supports, the following comes from things I read and my experiences from experimenting with S3D. PLA is het meest gebruikte filament voor de 3D printer. PLA wordt ook wel gezien als de hernieuwbare kunststof en wordt gemaakt van plantaardige grondstoffen suikerriet of maiszetmeel. Een aantal prettige eigenschappen van eSun PLA+ filament zijn; het laat geen gevaarlijke dampen los, iets wat bij ABS filament wel gebeurd. Verder bevat het kunststof geen weekmakers en is het dus niet schadelijk voor je gezondheid. Ten slot is het in diverse kleuren beschikbaar, maar ook combinaties met houtvezel, metaalpoeder en kalk zijn mogelijk. Als laatste laat zich vrij eenvoudig printen op relatief lage printtemperaturen (vanaf +- 200 graden Celsius afhankelijk van 3D printer)en vervormd het niet, waardoor een verwarmd printbed niet noodzakelijk is maar wel aangeraden. However, PLA+ filament usually yields a better first layer than normal PLA because of the more precise manufacturing techniques used to make this material. Furthermore, according to FilamentPM, PLA+ filament is more consistent, material-wise, than normal PLA filament, so first-layer adhesion issues are much less frequent. Flexibility

When it comes to determining a material’s heat resistance, the rule of thumb is to look at the suggested bed temperature, as this is the softening point (AKA glass transition temperature). PLA+ filament tends to offer more heat resistance than standard PLA, typically requiring slightly higher bed temperatures. Successfully produce 3D printed parts out of polypropylene filament with these tips on achieving stronger bed adhesion and minimizing shrinkage. Browse All 3D Printer Filament Clear Filters PLA+ is a PLA-based 3D printing filament with enhanced physical properties. The increased strength and toughness makes it an excellent choice for a wide range of printing applications. Plant-based materialFirst off, the additives used for PLA+ filament make the material’s melting temperature higher, so you’ll have to use a higher nozzle and bed temperature than standard PLA. Because of this, printing issues like under-extrusion, over-extrusion, and stringing tend to be more common with PLA+ filament. eSun PLA+ filament is de geoptimaliseerde variant van regulier PLA filament en biedt vele voordelen ten opzichte van de standaard PLA filament. Waaronder: To prolong the life of your filament, please return the unsealed filament to the original vacuum bag and store it in a cool, dry place after printing. If you have a filament box, store your filament there. Because PLA and PLA+ are sourced from most of the same raw materials, what post-processing techniques you can use are all the same. The only minor difference is that PLA+ prints tend to be smoother from the get-go than PLA parts, so the sanding process might take less time.

The eSUN Wood filaments are suitable for printing daily accessories, toys, sculptures, casings, cosplay, etc. Weighing almost twice less than conventional (0.7 vs. 1.2g/cm density), PLA filaments are suitable for weight-critical projects. So, if you’re printing parts that need to perform under physical stress, such as a gear for a robot, bike attachment, or phone case, PLA+ is the better filament. But, if you’re printing parts that won’t need a lot of strength, such as cosplay pieces or small toys, and you want to print faster or at lower costs, standard PLA filaments will work perfectly! Storage and HygroscopyBelow, I’ve gone over ABS and PETG, two of my favorite alternatives to PLA+ filament that boast even better strength and durability. ABS ABS not only is considered stronger and much less brittle than PLA and PLA+, but it also has more UV and heat resistance, making it the preferred filament material for outdoor and functional prints, like a doorstop or car accessory. With higher heat resistance, you won’t have to worry about parts melting or deforming under the heat of the sun. So whether you’re 3D printing car dashboard decorations or a part for your outdoor porch, you should always choose PLA+ over standard PLA when the part will face heat. Ease of Printing

But, regardless, I don’t recommend using PLA for any flexible prints, as it is nowhere near as flexible as TPU and Nylon. Environmental Friendliness Sadly, though, neither PLA nor PLA+ are really recyclable as most recycling centers don’t accept this material. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) released ISO 5425:2023 in August 2023. This new standard is titled “Specifications for the use of Poly(lactic acid) (PLA)-based filament in additive manufacturing applications.”

Customer Reviews

Now, after all that, the next few suggestions can help you get the supports off of the model easier.

ABS is one of the most widely-used plastics in the world, and it’s especially popular for 3D printing due to its high durability and heat resistance. In the sections below I’ll cover the main differences, including their surface finish, dimensional accuracy, strength, heat resistance, and more. Surface Finish PLA+ (also known as PLA Plus, PLA Pro, or PLA V2) are second-generation Polylactic Acid (PLA) filaments that are improved with additives to be less brittle and reduce moisture absorption. PLA+ should also have better layer adhesion, reduced risk of warping, and improved strength and durability compared to PLA of the first generation. Dimensional accuracy is very important if you need your 3D prints to be a certain size to fit in, on, or around another part. Typically, the better the tolerance of a filament, the more dimensionally accurate the prints will be. eSUN ePLA-LW (also known as LightWeight PLA) was specially developed for the RC modeling industry. The cool thing about this material is that you can adjust its density during printing by changing the nozzle temperature (190 – 270℃). The heat causes the generation of gas within the filament that then foams up with nanoscopic bubbles. The ePLA-LW has up to 220% foaming capability, which means that the result will be twice lighter than ordinary PLA. The raw filament has a density of 1.21 g/cm3, and when it comes out from the nozzle, you can expect it to become about 0.54 g/cm3.Records the default button state of the corresponding category & the status of CCPA. It works only in coordination with the primary cookie. Because PLA is easier to print and less expensive, it’s the better option for beginners who want a seamless printing experience at a cheaper price. It’s also ideal if you’re very environmentally conscious. Go to the support tab. I assume you use a raft to make supports more reliable, there are better ways.
