The Prusament Recycled PLA filament offers ease of use and high quality, but to achieve the best results in every 3D print it's key to follow certain recommendations. This recycled PLA doesn’t require complex adjustments and behaves stably, ideal for producing detailed, functional, and visually appealing parts.

Print surface preparation:

Keeping the print bed clean ensures good adhesion. It's recommended to use isopropyl alcohol with an unscented cloth, preferably on a cold bed. You can also use hot water with a few drops of soap or denatured alcohol to remove grease or dust residues.

Recommended settings:

The ideal nozzle temperature is 215 °C, while the heated bed should be set between 50 and 60 °C. Steel sheets such as smooth, textured, or satin-finished PEI offer excellent results. No enclosure is required, and using a layer fan at 100 % is highly recommended to improve finish and detail.

Cooling:

Active cooling is essential. It allows printing complex overhangs and bridges without warping, improving the visual and structural quality of each piece.

Post-processing and sanding:

The recycled PLA responds best to wet sanding, which prevents overheating from friction and yields a smooth finish. Without water, the material can melt locally and complicate the work.

Bonding parts:

PLA-printed parts can be effectively joined using superglue. Although some PLA respond to acetone, its effectiveness depends on color and additives, so pre-testing is recommended.

Structural strength:

To improve mechanical resistance, it’s preferable to increase the number of perimeters rather than infill. This reinforces the structure without unnecessarily increasing print time.
