Overview
PLA Basic is tuned for high-speed printing (250–300 mm/s) with excellent toughness and Z-layer strength for a PLA, making it the default for concept models and general-purpose parts.
It is the most economical and easiest material to print, though its 54°C HDT limits it to room-temperature applications.
Key Properties
