Buddy3D PLA+ Lithophane is a premium 3D printing filament developed by Prusa, specifically optimized for creating lithophanes. The enhanced PLA+ formula offers excellent light transmission, ensuring stunning effects when the prints are illuminated. The material properties feature high stiffness and low shrinkage, making it a user-friendly filament. For best results, a nozzle temperature between 210 and 225 °C and a bed temperature of 50 to 60 °C are recommended. While a heated bed is not strictly necessary, it improves adhesion. An enclosed build chamber is not required. This filament is ideal for thin walls and intricate designs where light transmission is crucial. Strengths include easy handling, a smooth surface finish, and fine detail resolution. Limitations include heat resistance, as PLA+ may deform at temperatures above 60 °C, and it is less impact-resistant than ABS or PETG. Overall, Buddy3D PLA+ Lithophane is the perfect choice for anyone looking to create high-quality, translucent prints.
