2 lbs. Large Cool Gray PLA Filament

MakerBot PLA Filament is the best and most consistent filament designed for the MakerBot Replicator 2 Desktop 3D Printer and all Fifth Generation MakerBot Replicator 3D Printers. PLA is a nontoxic resin made of sugar derived from field corn. MakerBot PLA Filament is fed through the extruder on your MakerBot Replicator 3D printer and heated. The melted filament is extruded through a nozzle onto a build plate and it cools and solidifies in a precise, layered pattern guided by a digital design file and easy-to-use MakerBot Desktop software. The pattern builds, layer by layer, to create your complete 3D printed object. MakerBot PLA Filament helps you get the most out of your MakerBot Replicator 2 or Fifth Generation MakerBot Replicator 3D Printer.

MakerBot 3D Printing PLA Filament
MakerBot PLA Filament is the best and most consistent filament designed for the MakerBot Replicator 2 Desktop 3D Printer and all Fifth Generation MakerBot Replicator 3D Printers. With tight tolerances to ensure steady flow through the extruder nozzle and the highest print quality. Every filament colour is comprehensively quality tested at both 100-micron and 200-micron layer resolutions on a MakerBot Replicator Desktop 3D Printer to verify that the filament will perform every feature that MakerBot MakerWare software offers and reliably slice and print every time.

• Higher quality prints and minimised downtime
• MakerBot PLA Filament is composed of the purest grade resin available on the market
• Every MakerBot PLA Filament colour is comprehensively quality tested

The 1.75mm cool gray PLA Filament (Large Spool) from MakerBot is a bioplastic derived from corn. It's guaranteed not to have any heavy metals, phthalates, or BPA (Bisphenol A). The large spool provides 2 lbs (0.9kg) of PLA plastic filament.

The MakerBot PLA Filament is comprehensively quality tested at both 100-micron and 200-micron layer resolutions on the MakerBot Replicator 2 to verify that the filament will perform every feature that the MakerBot MakerWare software offers and will reliably slice and print every type of 3D printing available.

If you're new to 3D printing, the MakerBot PLA Filament is a good material to start with. The MakerBot PLA Filament also adheres well to acrylic and to blue painter's tape. Prints with a large bottom may have a tendency to curl. To prevent curling, use rafts.

To ensure high filament quality and performance, store the MakerBot PLA Filament in a cool, dry place when not in use. This is because the MakerBot PLA Filament will absorb moisture from the air if exposed to humidity for long periods of time. Also, your build-plate must be level, clean, and oil-free to ensure the highest quality 3D printing. It is also recommended that you use the MakerBot PLA Filament and your MakerBot 3D Printer in a well-ventilated area.
