Print Tips

This material can print on any printer without any special requirements.

  • Print slower than standard PLA. Recommended top Max Volumetric Speed of 15mm^3/s.

  • When printing at 15mm^3/s - increase printing temperature to 220-230˚C.

  • Keep fan speed on at full blast for best surface quality. Reduce if noticing any layer adhesion issues.

FAQ

What is the difference between PolyLite™ PLA, PolyMax™ PLA and PolyLite™ PLA Pro?

Will the spools work in an AMS?

Yes! We have redesigned the edges of our spools so all Polymaker products will now spin great in the AMS.

Is this material food safe?

Unfortunately we do not have any data whether this material is food safe. As of now, no 3D printing material on the market is FDA food safe compliant. This is because in order to be certified as food safe, the actual object needs to be certified and not the base material. The shape, bed used, environment the object was made, and much more goes into getting a food safety certificate. As of now there is no real certification that the FDA offers for 3D printing.

Do you sell refills?

We are sorry but we do not sell refills at this time

Is this material recyclable?

Unfortunately there is no great answer for recycling PLA at this time. Our cardboard spools are biodegradable but there is no great way to recycle PLA at this time.

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 .
