Applications:

Due to its easy printability and wide range of colours, PLA can be used for a range of applications. Most commonly PLA products are used for decorative / ornamental pieces, cosplay, and product prototyping.

One downside to PLA filaments are that they have low UV resistant, meaning that if your printed piece is going to be outside it will weaken and fade overtime due to UV exposure. Good filaments for outdoor use are PETG and ASA.

 

Storage and Drying:

To prevent moisture absorption, it is recommended to keep your filament in a cool, dark, dry area, preferable sealed in an airtight bag.

Filament can be dried with various methods including a dedicated filament drying machine, food dehydrator, oven, or even your printer if it’s fully enclosed. For PLA and PLA+ filaments we recommend a drying temperature of 40℃ - 45℃ for a minimum of 4 – 6 hours.
