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.

3D printing with PLA is simpler and easier than with ABS. It is not necessary that the printer dock is hot, but if possible it is recommended that the base is at about 40-50 °C, to prevent any small sign of "warping" appears. The extruder temperature must be between 190 and 210 °C depending on the color and the 3D printer used. In our blog article 3D printing is explained about the main concerns of 3D printing PLA and ABS.
If your printer has a fan nozzle it is recommended that you activate it for best results. If you need to print very thin and tall pieces, you will see that the PLA plastic doesn´t give you enough time to harden each layer, so that the piece will be as if it had melted. To solve this problem we give a very simple advice, it prints at the same time at least two pieces, and place them separate at the base. Thus while the extruder is moved from one piece to another, the plastic has time to harden each layer in achieving a better result.
The adhesion of the first layer is key and probably the most important factors for good impressions. so you can use Blue Tape, BuildTak, Magigoo or 3DLac.
It is also advisable to set the "raft", which is to create a first thick layer, such as media, who will not suffer that contraction and on which to print the piece. The disadvantage of using the "raft" is that this first layer will have a less smooth.
It is advisable to lower the density of "infill" parameter for the part to store less heat. As for the "brim" (the membrane that is created around the piece) parameter is recommended to set it to never greater thicknesses of 5mm to help the first layer will not peel.
As for the interior temperature where printed it is recommended to be controlled and no drafts.
