3D Printing

This material is based on the blend of PLA and PHB. Therefore, it has similar processing to standard PLA filament. Differences that can cause an issue are mentioned in the 3D printing guide. 

 

Printing temperature: 175–195 °C 
Heated bed surface: PEI, mirror/glass, LockPAd  
Heated bed temperature: 0–50 °C 
Adhesive: 3DLac, PVA glue  
Speed: 20–50 mm/s 
Raft/skirt/brim: skirt  
Part cooling fan: 100 % 
Heated chamber/enclosure: not needed

Adhesion –  The buildplate should be very well cleaned before the print. We recommend to use 3Dlac or PVA glue always. The first layer should be just slightly more squished than with basic PLA .

Overhangs – It is recommended to use lower layer heights for overhangs higher than 50°. To achieve the best results, use a part cooling fan at 100 %.  

Printing – The printing temperature should be set around 180 °C because under higher temperatures, the surface is rough, and stringing occurs due to high flow. Do not exceed 210 °C where the material can start degrading.  

To support the circular economy, please: 

  • think before you print – minimise the disposable goods, design the functional objects, reduce the waste 

  • reuse the printed object – it has great properties, it can be cleaned in the dishwasher, and it resists to water 

  • recycle the material – you can send it to Fillamentum, and we will exploit the polymer 

  • or dispose the material into biowaste – if the recycling is not effective, put NonOilen® into biowaste 

  • do not put it into plastic waste, it would not be separated correctly, but incinerated 

  • recycle the spool – it is made of recycled PP, which has a specific grey colour to be easily recognized on the sorting line and ensures good separation in the waste 

  • recycle the bag – it is plastic foil coated with aluminium, which can be thrown away into the plastic waste 

  • recycle the box – it is made of the recycled paper and it can be recycled again
