Description

Low Density

AIR PLA is specifically engineered to be a low-density foam filament. The lower density allows for the production of lighter parts without compromising on strength or integrity, making AIR PLA an excellent choice for applications where weight is a critical factor.

Ease of Use

AIR PLA is compatible with standard PLA printing settings, making it easy to integrate into your existing 3D printing workflow. Its reliable extrusion properties ensure consistent performance, minimizing the risk of clogs and print failures.

Accurate & Consistent Dimension

Strict tolerances ensure consistent dimension of the 1.75 mm PLA filament for smoother and more stable printing, with a dimensional accuracy of +/- 0.02 mm.

Full mechanical winding with rigorous manual inspection ensures that the line is neatly arranged on the spools to avoid filament tangles.

Oriental3d PLA is made from biodegradable plant-based materials, primarily derived from renewable resources such as corn starch. While these materials are generally considered safe, it is important to note that Oriental3d PLA is not certified for food contact. Although the raw materials might be food-grade, there is no guarantee against contamination during the printing process. For food applications, it is recommended to use certified food-safe materials or coatings for added safety.

Yes, a humid or underwater environment can adversely affect the performance and durability of PLA and its variants. PLA is biodegradable and prone to moisture absorption, which can lead to a decrease in mechanical properties and print quality over time. In underwater settings, prolonged exposure to water can further degrade the material. If you need a more durable option for these environments, consider using Oriental3d ASA, which offers better resistance to moisture and UV light.

Yes, high temperatures can significantly affect the strength of PLA and its variants. PLA has a relatively low glass transition temperature of around 60°C (140°F), making it susceptible to softening and deformation when exposed to elevated temperatures. For applications that require better heat resistance, here are the Vicat Softening Temperatures of other materials:

  • PETG: 85.1°C
  • ABS: 103.4°C
  • ASA 106.2°C
  • PC Professional: 110.3°C
  • Easy Nylon: 181.2°C

Moisture can impact material performance and print quality. We recommend 3D printing enthusiasts invest in a filament dryer for all types of filament, not just ours, to enhance long-term storage practices and achieve superior printing results. Please refer to the“Drying Time” table for suggested drying times.

2 reviews for Air PLA Filament Pre-Foamed PLA Low-Density Lightweight

  1. Steve H

    This filament is great for printing RC airplanes, but there are a few settings you’ll need to adjust. I used it on my Bambu Lab P1S (you’ll need to download the config files from their website). Make sure to enable it in the Bambu Lab first. The only changes I made were the Flow ratio to 1.127 and Adaptive Quality/Speed to 0.20.

  2. Monster Parts

    I came up with the perfect setting for this filament for my Bambu Labs P1S Printers and the results are amazing… while not as light as the foaming lightweight stuff, this filament is STILL lighter than standard PLA and it is quite strong, all while providing a glass smooth surface…
