Specifications

PolyLite™ is a family of 3D printing filaments developed by Polymaker and manufactured with the best raw materials to offer exceptional quality and reliability. PolyLite™ covers the most popular 3D printing materials to meet everyday needs for design and prototyping or final part creation.

Polymaker's PolyLite™ PLA filament is composed of polylactic acid. PLA is a biodegradable plastic obtained from natural resources, specifically from starch extracted from corn, sugar beet and wheat.

PLA is one of the most common materials in the world of 3D printing thanks to its ease of printing, good results and wide range of colours. In addition, PLA is biodegradable and does not emit fumes or noxious odours.

The ease of use of this material derives from several factors:

It does not require a heated bed, although in case it is available, it is recommended to use it at 50ºC.
It is printed at low temperatures (between 190ºC and 220ºC).
It is a material with an almost non-existent warping (warping is the deformation of the pieces with respect to the base).

In addition, thanks to Polymaker's patented "Jam-Free" technology, Polylite PLA significantly improves thermal stability by increasing the softening temperature, resulting in a "Jam-Free" filament.

In addition to all its properties, Polymaker's PolyLite™ PLA filament is a PLA with a great price/performance ratio. If enhanced mechanical properties are required, Polymaker's Polymax PLA filament is recommended.

The packaging in which Polymaker presents its filaments is highly studied and carefully designed to preserve the quality and condition of its filaments. In this case, PolyLite™ PLA is presented inside a vacuum-sealed bag together with a desiccant sachet to prevent the filament from getting wet. This bag is self-sealing, so once the filament has been used, it can be put back into the bag. In addition, all of this is enclosed in a high quality printed box, to avoid knocks and breakages during shipping.

Polymaker's PolyLite™ PLA is an ideal material for the manufacture of decorative parts or non-functional prototypes for various industries.

Although the ideal printing temperature of PolyLite™ PLA may vary for each 3D printer, the ideal printing temperature is between 190 and 220 ºC. If a heated bed is available, it is recommended to use the bed at a temperature between 40 and 55°C.

It is advisable to use the layer fan. Because of this it is important to adjust the ideal temperature depending on the extruder used. PolyLite™ PLA filament is suitable for any type of nozzle. In terms of printing speed, it is advisable to print at around 60 mm/s, although it is possible to print slower for 3D prints with a better finish.

The shrinkage for a 0.5 mm nozzle is 1 mm. Therefore, following this rule can be applied to any nozzle ratio.

PolyLite™ PLA filament is moderately hygroscopic. In case the filament contains more moisture than it should, it is recommended to dry the filament in a dedicated drying machine such as the Print Dry Pro filament dryer.

Moisture can cause errors and even failed 3D prints. To avoid it at all times and not require the use of a filament dryer, it is recommended to use Polybox during the entire printing process and then store the filament in the self-sealing bag provided by Polymaker.
