In the cosplay world the three most coveted properties of any material used for the preparation of accessories are sandability, paintability, and durability. Polymaker has managed to develop a filament that can satisfy all these needs - the PolyLite CosPLA filament. This filament is a specialized PLA variant meticulously engineered for crafting cosplay props with precision and resilience.
Designed to meet the demands of cosplay enthusiasts, this filament boasts enhanced properties tailored for seamless post-processing, heightened durability, and effortless paint application, thus significantly outperforming standard PLA. The PolyLite CosPLA filament is available in two distinct formulations, CosPLA A and B. Although both are tough and post-processable, each variant is slightly tweaked to cater to specific cosplay needs.
CosPLA A excels in sanding capabilities, facilitating swift refinement of intricate details and complex structures such as helmets and fine components. On the other hand, CosPLA B prioritizes robustness, making it the go-to choice for crafting formidable props like swords, hammers, and armor, which may encounter impact or require additional strength. Both versions of CosPLA share a common trait of exceptional sandability, paintability, and durability, ensuring consistency in performance across diverse cosplay projects.
However, for applications necessitating heat and weather resistance alongside post-processing ease and impact resilience, Polymaker recommends exploring alternatives such as PolyLite ABS for superior heat resistance and PolyLite ASA for unparalleled weather and UV protection. Like CosPLA, these alternatives offer remarkable post-processing ease while addressing specific environmental challenges, with PolyLite ABS excelling in hot environments and PolyLite ASA proving ideal for outdoor use.

The recommended printing temperature for the PolyLite CosPLA filament ranges between 190 and 220 ºC, and the best bed temperature is 30-60 ºC. The recommended printing speed is 30-70 mm/s and the cooling fan should be on. In order to enance the adhesion of the material to the build surface, Polymaker recommends using BuildTak, Blue Tape, Magigoo or a glass printing bed.
For the post-processing of the 3D printed parts various retouching tools such as a deburring tool, Retouch3D or Modifi3D can be used. As far as the 3D printing of complex geometries, PolyLite CosPLA is great as its own support material.
Proper storage of the PolyLite PLA CosPLA 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.
