Discover Ultimaker PLA Transparent, a premium filament for precise 3D prints. Made from Polylactide (PLA), it offers ease of use and exceptional print quality. With a diameter of 2.85 mm and a weight of 750 g, it is ideal for Ultimaker printers and other compatible devices. The transparent material allows for the creation of light-transmitting objects that still maintain stability. PLA is biodegradable and derived from renewable resources, making it an eco-friendly choice. Recommended print temperatures range between 190°C and 220°C, while the heated bed temperature should not exceed 60°C. This ensures reliable adhesion and minimizes warping. Applications range from prototypes to decorative items, light fixtures, and enclosures. Key strengths include low shrinkage, high surface quality, and versatility. However, PLA is less heat-resistant than materials like ABS and is not suitable for applications exposed to high temperatures. For optimal results, using a heated print bed and an enclosure is recommended to minimize environmental influences.
