Polylactic Acid (PLA)
PLA is a biodegradable thermoplastic and the most popular 3D printing material. Easy to print, requires no heated chamber, and offers excellent detail resolution. Ideal for prototyping, mockups, and visual models.
Print Profile
| Hotend Temperature | 220°C |
| Bed Temperature | 60°C |
| Chamber Temperature | not required |
| Print Speed | 60–100 mm/s |

Drying Parameters
Recommendation
Use the Protype FILO drying chamber for automatic filament drying and direct feed into the printer. This prevents re-absorption of moisture and ensures consistent print quality.
⚠ Insufficiently dried filament is the primary cause of defects: bubbles, delamination, and degraded mechanical properties. Always dry before printing.
