Material Description

Polylactic Acid (PLA) filament is a type of thermoplastic aliphatic polyester widely used in 3D printing. It is derived primarily from renewable resources like corn starch or sugarcane, making it more environmentally friendly compared to petroleum-based plastics.

Characteristics

  1. Biodegradability: One of the most significant advantages of PLA is its biodegradable nature. Under the right conditions, it can decompose into lactic acid, a naturally occurring compound.

  2. Low Melting Temperature: PLA has a relatively low melting temperature (around 180°C to 220°C). This property makes it easier to print with, requiring lower energy and making it suitable for use with most 3D printers.

  3. Rigidity and Strength: PLA filaments are rigid and provide good detail, making them ideal for a wide range of printing applications. However, they are more brittle compared to ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), another popular 3D printing material.

  4. Color and Transparency: It offers a wide range of colors and degrees of transparency. The aesthetic versatility of PLA is one of its appealing aspects.

  5. Odorless: During printing, PLA doesn’t emit a strong odor, unlike some other thermoplastics, making it more suitable for use in homes and schools.

Applications

  • Prototyping and Educational Projects: Due to its ease of use and low cost, PLA is widely used in educational settings and for prototyping.
  • Consumer Products: Items like phone cases, containers, and decorative objects are commonly made from PLA.
  • Biomedical Applications: Its biodegradable nature makes it a candidate for temporary implants and other medical devices.

Environmental Impact

While PLA is biodegradable, this process is not as straightforward as it may seem. Industrial composting facilities, with high temperatures and controlled conditions, are required for efficient decomposition. Thus, in typical landfill conditions, PLA might not degrade any faster than conventional plastics.

Storage and Handling

PLA filaments absorb moisture from the air, which can affect printing quality. It's recommended to store them in a cool, dry place, and preferably in airtight containers with desiccants to prolong their usability.

Material Description

This filament is commonly used for semi-flexible and mechanical parts since its chemical, wear and UV resistance is higher compared with basic 3D printing plastics. The downside of nylon filament is its tricky behavior when used with some desktop FDM machines.

If printed thin enough, it can provide decent flexibility while maintaining toughness. Nylon's low coefficient of friction also means it's well suited for making functional moving parts. Therefore, nylon is often used for making functional prototypes, living hinges, gears, and similar end-use parts.

Also remember to print in an enclosed environment for best results. Nylon is a great material for making structural parts. Compared to ABS with a tensile strength of 4,700 psi, nylon's estimated tensile strength of 7,000 psi is head and shoulders above ABS

Material Description

Filaflex UltraSoft 70A is one of the most elastic and softest filaments on the market, reaching a 900% stretch until breaking. The Filaflex UltraSoft filament is a TPE filament (Thermoplastic Elastomer) with a polyurethane base and certain additives.

The Filaflex Ultrasoft 70A filament has an even higher elasticity and smoothness than the Filaflex 82A (Filaflex), with a Shore 70A hardness and an abrasion resistance of 45mm3, being one of the most elastic and soft filaments on the market. Like the Filaflex, the Filaflex Ultrasoft 70A is resistant to solvents, acetone and fuels, but with lower tensile strength and lower softening temperature. The Filaflex UltraSoft 70A has good bonding properties with other types of materials used in the field of 3D printing, such as PLAABSHiPS and some Nylons, resulting in composite pieces with different properties and hardness. Thanks to all the qualities mentioned above, this material has an infinity of applications in all types of fields

FilaFlex UltraSoft is non-toxic, but not approved for medical or nutritional use. This material doesn't emit odors, is totally odorless and does not produce toxic gases. Due to its high elasticity, it is a complex material to use, since, in certain types of extruders, it's likely to wrap around the pinion of the extruder motor or directly bend the filament already before entering the HotEnd, something that occurs if a Bowden drive system is used. Therefore, this material is recommended only for advanced users and with 3D printers with the Recreus Extruder v3 extruder or with an extruder prepared to print elastic filaments (Should always be direct drive, never bowden). The "Recreus Extruder v3" is a direct-drive extruder extruder with high quality components created by the manufacturer of the Filaflex UltraSoft 70A, to be able to use this and other flexible materials without any problems and at high speeds compared to the rest of extruders on the market . Another extruder compatible with this material, but not recommended by the manufacturer, is the E3D Titan Aero.
