3D Printer Filament 1.75mm PLA 1Kg for Makerbot Reprap Prusa From UK Filament Description This is the best filament on the market. The 1.75mm filament holds a diameter tolerance of 0.02mm/0.0008" which improves reliability and quality of output and comes vacuum-sealed with the desiccant on a 1kg (2.2lb) reel. We tested many filaments at both 100-micron and 200-micron layer resolutions on FDM printers and found this one is the best. ABS and PLA Differences: ABS is made out of oil-based resources and it has a much higher melting point than PLA plastic. It's also stronger and harder. It is an economical plastic notable for its low degree of shrinkage and warping. Because of these particular features, ABS is widely used for purposes ranging from car bumpers and motorcycle helmets to musical instruments, golfclubs and branded building blocks. PLA is a common type of biodegradable filament often derived from renewable resources, such as corn starch, tapioca roots, chips or starch, or sugarcane. PLA is available in hard or soft grade and can be extruded at a low nozzle temperature. PLA allows higher print speed, more accurate placement of material with proper cooling (it does not shrink as much) and also thinner build heights because of less resistance from the plastic coming out the nozzle, where abs even at high temps (250C) is still sticky and has high viscosity. PLA has a obvious feature that it's translucent. Print temperature: 190-225°C Raft temperature: 190°C First layer temperature: 225°C
