PLA Extrafill

PLA Extrafill filament is a PLA filament of very high quality made in Europe for 3D printing by Fillamentum. PLA Extrafill 3D prints high quality figures that also boast great rigidity and resistance for a wide variety of projects. This filament is available in many attractive colors, in diameters of 1.75 mm or 2.85 mm, and in many formats.

The PLA Extrafill filaments can be printed easily on any FFF/FDM 3D printer, it doesn't release harmful gases and it is very easy to print with it since it is not essential to have hot printing base materials. These qualities make PLA one of the most widely used 3D printing today. Furthermore, PLA is a biodegradable plastic derived from natural resources, in particular is obtained from the extracted starch from corn, sugar beet and wheat. Moreover, PLA Extrafill is RoHS compliant and approved for food contact.

It must be kept in mind, however, that not all colors of PLA Extrafill are suitable for foor contact. In the Attachments section a complete list of food contact approved colors (EU standards) is available for consultation. To ensure the final product complies with the requirements, it must be tested according to the relevant regulations. These regulations establish the testing conditions, which are based on the intended use of the printed object (e.g., temperature, contact duration, type of food).

The PLA Extrafill filaments a premium quality filament due to the high quality standards in which it is manufactured. It is manufactured by Fillamentum, a Czech company that stands for the great experience in the field of extrusion of plastics for automotive, chemical and packaging, highlighting the strong commitment to research and development of new products.

The PLA Extrafill filament is manufactured by strict control throughout the entire manufacturing process. This PLA Extrafill filament ensures high accuracy of diameter dimensions such as diameter tolerance ± 0.05 mm, with excellent roundness and without any chemical impurities for better filament viscosity. By setting high standards of quality, Fillamentum ensures excellent color consistency throughout the spool and across batches to always gurantee the highest quality of the 3D printed parts.

PLA Extrafill is available in a variety of colors according to RAL and Pantone reference. Apart from standard colors such as white, black, red, green, grey and blue, the PLA Extrafill color catalog also includes various inspiring shades of blue, red, green and grey, pastel colors, as well as filaments with a speckled surface finish. Here's a table that compiles all the PLA Extrafill colors with their RAL/Pantone references.

What's more, the PLA Extrafill filament is perfectly rolled onto the spool, which prevents printing problems caused by overlap winding of the filament. Another feature that contributes to the premium quality of this filament is the fact that it comes in a resealable bag pouch that protects it from moisture and UV rays. Therefore, PLA Extrafill PLA filament is a high quality 3D printing filament fully stabilized for excellent finishes with the highest reliability and ease of 3D printing.

To achieve extraordinary surface finish on parts 3D printed with the PLA Extrafill filament, a coating designed specifically for 3D printing such as XTC-3D can be used. In case of adhesion problems, it is recommended to apply Blue Tape, Magigoo or 3DLac onto the print bed.
