The Cinnamon PLA is manufactured by Francofil, a French company founded in 2017, specializing in the development of technical materials for FFF 3D printing. Its portfolio includes a wide variety of filaments based on biocomposite materials such as cereal, coffee, and shellfish shells, always with a strong focus on offering eco-friendly and sustainable solutions for 3D printing.
This filament stands out for its warm color and distinctive cinnamon scent, making it a unique option for those seeking a special visual and olfactory experience in their projects. Cinnamon PLA is perfect for creating decorative pieces, personalized gifts, and items for special occasions such as Christmas or Valentine's Day. Thanks to its ease of use and compatibility with most FDM 3D printers, it is suitable for both beginners and experts in 3D printing.
Cinnamon, native to Asia, is obtained from the inner bark of trees from the Cinnamomum genus. In addition to its well-known aroma and flavor, cinnamon is appreciated for its medicinal, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. Its presence in Cinnamon PLA adds a unique touch, giving character and originality to the printed pieces.
This filament is made from renewable materials like corn starch, making it biodegradable in industrial composting. Furthermore, Cinnamon PLA helps reduce the carbon footprint and dependence on petroleum-based plastics, aligning with a more sustainable and environmentally responsible approach.

To use the cinnamon PLA filament, we recommend using a printing temperature of between 180 and 210 ºC. As with standard PLA, this material does not require a warm bed, so the temperature of the appropriate printing base would be between 40 and 60 ºC. For better adhesion, a Buildtak printing base or Magigoo adhesive can be used. This will avoid the warping effect even on large pieces.
As far as printing speed is concerned, it is recommended to print at a speed of between 40 and 60 mm/s. As usual, lower layer heights produce greater detail clarity, but the printing process will be slower.
Due to its particle load, it is recommended to use a nozzle with an outlet diameter of at least 0.5 mm to avoid clogging.
The coffee PLA filament is somewhat sensitive to moisture absorption, so it is recommended that the filament be kept in a vacuum pack with a desiccant bag or use a filament pack with a PrintDry vacuum seal. If you have been exposed to damp conditions, it is recommended that you use a filament dryer such as PrintDry II to dry the filament. Using the filament wet can cause degradation of the polymer, increase the brittleness of the material or affect the adhesion of layers when printing a 3D part.
