Prusament PLA Recycled 2kg (NFC)

What can you expect?

Prusament PLA Recycled is our own in-house made filament with ±0.05mm manufacturing tolerance. 100 % of the material consists of recycled Prusament PLA materials, so every batch has a different color. You can inspect the parameters of every spool we made at prusament.com.

Made only from recycled Prusament PLA Waste produced during our in-house production of Prusament PLA is recycled and used as a base for Prusament PLA Recycled. There are no further additives or pigments in the mix.

Spool-level production data can be accessed through the QR code on the spool.

For our recycled filaments, we had our carbon footprint calculated. You can find more about our sustainability activities in our sustainability report.

About Prusament PLA Recycled

Prusament PLA Recycled is our own in-house filament. 100 % of the material consists of recycled Prusament PLA materials, so every batch has a different color. Overall, PLA is the easiest material to print, it is inexpensive and suitable (not only) for beginners. It is capable of printing detailed models, figures, and quick prototypes that don’t require high mechanical, chemical, or temperature resistance. PLA is the most widely used filament, known for its great looks and ease of printing. It is an excellent choice for large objects because of its low thermal expansion, which results in minimal warping. At the same time, its low melting temperature makes it suitable for small parts as well. While PLA may not be as tough or durable as some advanced materials, its versatility makes it ideal for a range of applications, including large objects, miniatures, concept models, and prototypes that don’t need to be extremely durable.

Printing Setup

• Nozzle - 215 °C
• Heatbed - 50-60 °C
• Recommended Steel Sheet - Smooth PEI / Textured / Satin

Basic Attributes

• Easy to print - Different color with every batch
• Suitable for prints of any size - Brittle
• Hard - Poor high-temperature resistance
• Low warping - Difficult to sand (hard material, melts easily)

Beginners tips & tricks

Popular among both beginners and advanced users

PLA is a practical starting material for learning filament printing. Use the profile and surface preparation recommended for the specific spool and printer.

Sanding

When post-processing PLA, it’s better to use wet sanding. Without water you’ll quickly start heating the plastic by friction, it will melt locally and deform. Also, without water, the sanding material would clog easily.

Gluing

PLA parts can be joined with suitable adhesives; Prusa recommends superglue for many applications. Solvent response varies with formulation, additives and colour, so do not assume all PLA can be solvent bonded in the same way.

NotesFor our recycled filaments, we had its carbon footprint calculated. You can find more about our sustainability activities in our sustainability report.The 2kg spool won't fit the standard spoolholder, please download and print the 2kg spoolholder. This Prusament PLA Recycled is made in-house by Prusa Polymers. 1.75 mm filament is manufactured with precision of +- 0.05 mm Before printing, make sure the surface of heatbed is clean as described in 3D Printing Handbook. To dry the filament, please follow the instructions in our article.
