Polymaker Panchroma Matte PLA (1kg) 1.75mm - SPECIAL ORDER
PolyTerra™ PLA is a matte surface PLA-based 3D printing filament with a huge range of
colours and effects to choose from. It is a sustainably sourced formula developed to be easy to print with great bridging & overhang capability. It can print in a very wide temperature window and is compatible with most extrusion-based 3D printers.
NOTE: we currently only stock colours we use frequently. We do not have the capacity to keep track of Panchroma Matte PLA's entire colour range! Thank you for understanding.
Features
Matte Surface & Fun Colours - Print parts with a beautiful matte surface finish and unleash your imagination with PolyTerra™ PLA's fun and vibrant colour range. PolyTerra™ PLA renders models with excellent surface quality and features great overhang and bridging capability.
Optimized for Support - PolyTerra™ PLA has been engineered with excellent support
removal properties, enabling users to more easily break away support or rafts from the
surface of their prints.
Easy Sanding - PolyTerra™ PLA is softer and easier to sand in comparison to regular PLA
filaments and can be easily painted.
High Speed Capable - Polymaker have engineered the base PolyTerra™ PLA formula with ideal flow properties to deliver a filament which is capable of high speed printing (only on suitable hardware)
Bioplastic Matte PLA Formula - PolyTerra™ PLA is based on a newly developed material
from Polymaker called FBC (Fully Bio Compound). It is a compound of high quality Ingeo PLA compounded with naturally occurring elements. The result is a PLA filament with less plastic content that feels softer and more ductile / less brittle on the spool. Polymakers FBC formula contains less PLA plastic to degrade which improves the speed of degradation under specific industrial conditions. Like other PLA's, the degradation rate is still very slow in ambient temperatures.
Ductility (X-Y) - PolyTerra™ PLA is softer than regular PLA, delivering improved ductility in the horizontal X-Y axis than standard PLA formulations. Whereas a test bar in standard PLA will snap when bent, PolyTerra™ PLA will tend to gradually bend and fracture in the
horizontal axis.
Compatibility / Jam-Free™- PolyTerra™ PLA is compatible with a wide range of 3D printers and is manufactured with Polymakers Jam-Free™ technology which leads to excellent printing quality with zero risk of nozzle jams caused by heat creep [1]. PolyTerra™ PLA works well on many printing surfaces with a thin layer of glue stick applied, no heated bed is required but can be used at 40 - 50°C for better results (maximum 60°C).
Uncompromised Quality - PolyTerra™ PLA filament is made with the highest quality
ingredients including Ingeo® from Natureworks; a high quality PLA material produced from rapidly renewable plant resources in the US. Combining Polymakers innovative R&D
technologies, compounding and extrusion systems with Natureworks Ingeo® resins produces a reliable 3D printing filament to print beautiful and accurate models.
[1] Heat creep is the the process of heat spreading irregularly throughout the hot end, one common example is with all metal hot end designs. Once heat creeps towards the cold end, the PLA filament softens prematurely in the cold end and expands resulting in a jam. Polymakers Jam-Free™ technology increases the heat resistance of the filament itself (not the printed part) to 100°C which prevents the filament from prematurely softening in the cold end and can still melt rapidly once entering the heating zone. The printed part will have the same heat resistance as regular PLA: ~60°C.
