SainSmart LW-PLA filament, 1.75 mm, 1 kg, white

Features

Light Weight

With active foaming technology, this LW-PLA filament delivers low-density and lightweight parts. The SainSmart LW PLA Filament has a density of 0.54 g/cm³, resulting in a significant weight reduction for your printed parts, perfect for RC planes and drones. The reduced weight enables lower wing loads and stall speed, allowing for overall better performance.

Active Foaming

The foaming expansion of this LW PLA filament allows you to print with up to 2X material flow. The maximum foaming rate of this LW-PLA filament is 220%, meaning that one roll of LW-PLA can be used as 2.2 rolls of ordinary PLA. This allows you to print more with less material.

Smooth Finish

Models printed with this LW PLA filament have a smooth matte surface with minimal layer lines. The improved paint adhesion also enhances your creativity. The foaming feature allows for almost invisible layer lines and a smooth matte finish.

Printing Tips:

The initial layer print speed and extrusion rate should be the same as print speed and extrusion rate settings, changes in print speed will also change the expansion rate of this material and cause layer lines. If the prints stick too firm to the build plate and unable to remove. please consider adding a raft. Pay attention to the maximum operating temperature of your 3d printer, most 3d printers with Teflon Heatbreak tube cannot run above 250 ℃ for a long time, or melting and blockage may occur. If you need to print above 250 ℃ constantly, the supplier recommends using high-temp Full Metal Hotend 3d printer. It is normal for Highly expanded prints to yellow. To reduce this effect, reduce expansion and print at lower temps. LW-PLA will continue to foam in the melt zone of the nozzle, so retraction does not work in this circumstance, and your 3d printer will continue to print even when the extruder crosses an empty space and cause stringing. We recommend you print in vase mode. Printing temperature, speed, and nozzle melt zone size will all affect the foaming ratio, so you need to adjust the wall thickness, extrusion rate, temperature, speed, and other settings according to your models and printers.
