PLA (polylactic acid) filament is renowned for its eco-friendly nature, derived from renewable resources like corn starch or sugarcane. This biodegradable filament showcases minimal warping during printing, making it ideal for use on 3D printers without a heated bed. Known for its ease of use, sustainability and versatility, PLA filament appeals to both hobbyists and professionals within the 3D printing community.

R3D is a brand founded in 2013 and one of the biggest filament manufacturers in the world with a daily output of more than 8000 kg. Their materials are high quality, reliable and environmentally friendly thanks to the spool and box made of recycled material.

Elongation at break (%) 65
Tensile strength (MPa) 45
Flexural modulus (MPa) 2467

The recommended printing temperature for the PLA Silk filament ranges between 195-215 ºC, and the best bed temperature is 40-60 ºC. The recommended printing speed is 50-70 mm/s.

Proper storage of the PLA Silk filament is essential, as processing damp filament can lead to polymer chain degradation, fragility, poor layer adhesion, stringing, and oozing. It's best to store the filament in a sealed bag with desiccant or in a vacuum-sealed filament container.
