Polymaker Panchroma PLA Matte - Sky Blue - 1.75mm - 1kg

• Matte Surface & Fun Colours - Print parts with a beautiful matte surface finish and unleash your imagination with PolyTerra™ PLAs fun and vibrant colour range. PolyTerra™ PLA renders models with an excellent matte surface quality and features good overhang and bridging capability.
• Optimized for Support - PolyTerra™ PLA has been engineered with excellent support removal properties, enabling users to more easily break away support or rafts from the surface of their prints.
• Easy Sanding - PolyTerra™ PLA is softer and easier to sand in comparison to regular PLA filaments and can be easily painted.
• High Speed Capable - Polymaker have engineered the base PolyTerra™ PLA formula with ideal flow properties to deliver a filament which is capable of high speed printing (only on suitable hardware).
• Bioplastic Matte PLA Formula - PolyTerra™ PLA is based on a newly developed material from Polymaker called FBC (Fully Bio Compound). It is a compound of high quality Ingeo PLA compounded with naturally occurring elements. The result is a PLA filament with less plastic content that feels softer and more ductile / less brittle on the spool. Polymakers FBC formula ?contains less PLA plastic to degrade which improves the speed of degradation under specific industrial conditions. Like other PLAs, the degradation rate is still very slow in ambient temperatures.
• Ductility (X-Y) - PolyTerra™ PLA is softer than regular PLA, delivering improved ductility in the horizontal X-Y axis than standard PLA formulations. Whereas a test bar in standard PLA will snap when bent, PolyTerra™ PLA will tend to gradually bend and fracture in the horizontal axis.
• Compatibility / Jam-Free™ - PolyTerra™ PLA is compatible with a wide range of 3D printers and is manufactured with Polymakers Jam-Free™ technology which leads to excellent printing quality with zero risk of nozzle jams caused by heat creep [1]. PolyTerra™ PLA works well on most printing surface with a thin layer of glue stick applied, no heated bed is required but can sometimes be used at 40 - 50°C for better results (maximum 60°C).
• Uncompromised Quality - PolyTerra™ PLA filament is made with the highest quality ingredients including Ingeo® from Natureworks; a high quality PLA material produced from rapidly renewable plant resources in the US. Combining Polymakers innovative R&D technologies, compounding and extrusion systems with Natureworks Ingeo® resins produces a reliable 3D printing filament to print beautiful and accurate models.

Settings

• Nozzle Temperature: 190°C – 230°C
• Bed Plate Temperature: 25°C – 60°C
• Bed Surface Treatment: Can apply Magigoo Original, PVA or PVP glue stick.
• Environmental Temperature: 20 - 40°C
• Fan Speed: ON - up to 100%
• Printing Speed: 30 - 70mm/s
• Retraction: The ideal retraction settings vary from printer to printer and depend on the hot end. The following settings have been a good starting point for many machines. Direct Drive: Retraction distance of 1mm with retraction speed of 30mm/s. Bowden: Retraction distance of 3mm with retraction speed of 60mm/s
• Enclosure: Not required but useful to protect from drafts and maintain a stable printing environment.
• Heated Chamber: Not recommended.
• Recommended Support Material: PolySupport™ for PLA (Breakaway), PolyDissolve™ S1 (Water-soluble)
The above are printing recommendations based on 0.4 mm nozzle. Please note ideal printing conditions may vary depending on your 3D printer setup. For high speed 3D printers, make sure to increase your extrusion temperature in order to use higher printing speeds.
