PLA Glossy is a new type of PLA that is much stronger than regular PLA and has a heat resistance up to 75°C. This means that you can use it for mechanical parts, as well as parts that you can use in (for example) a hot car during summer without the risk of the print going soft.
PLA Glossy is a unique filament due to it’s shiny surface. It will produce prints with an extremely shiny/metal finish that really stands out.
PLA Glossy is used the same way as regular PLA but with a slightly higher temperature range.
The print temperature should be between 210 – 230°C (typical is 220°C). The filament should be used with a heated build plate for best results and depending on size of the print you, can use it with a range of 20 – 90°C (typical is 60°C) Use normal print speed 40-60 mm/s.
We recommend that you use PrimaFIX on you build surface for best adhesion and to avoid warping.
