Polymaker makes some of the most functional PLA on the market. From extremely impact resistant, to easy to sand, to lightweight, or if you just need a low price point - Polymaker's functional PLA will have what you need.
Short answer: PolyLite™ PLA is a very rigid material with very low impact resistance. PolyMax™ PLA is an extremely ductile material with high impact resistance and durability. PolyLite™ PLA Pro is the best of both worlds combining excellent rigidity and high impact strength. Long answer in our live experiment here.
These materials are designed to print fast! PolySonic™ PLA has very similar properties as PolyLite™ PLA, and PolySonic PLA Pro has very similar properties to PolyLite™ PLA Pro - they were just designed with high flow and fast printing in mind.
PolySonic™ PLA and PLA Pro can print at much faster speeds without the need to worry about under extrusion or lost of shine in your print.
Panchroma™ would be your bet! Panchroma™ is our product family of every color and effect we can think of.
Yes! We have redesigned the edges of our spools so all Polymaker products will now spin great in the AMS.
This can depend on what you define as "Strong". If you want impact resistant - nothing beats PolyMax™ PLA.
If you want something a bit more rigid, either PolyLite™ PLA Pro or PolySonic™ PLA Pro would be great options.
