Glass Filled PLA - 500g (1.1lbs) Spool
Glass Filled PLA 3D printer filament is an engineering-grade filament that can be used on any machine capable of printing standard PLA. Glass Filled PLA filament offers similar benefits of standard PLA such as a very low warp, low odor, and printing without a heated bed. The glass fibers added to the composite make-up allows it to be stronger, tougher and more flexible than parts 3D printed in standard PLA. In a comparison to parts 3D printed in standard PLA, Glass Filled PLA parts are: 1.4 times stronger than PLA at 57 MPa of max tensile strength. 1.3 times tougher than PLA with 34 J/m of Impact Toughness. 1.9 times more flexible than PLA with a tensile elongation of 3.4% before failure. Note: Printing with composite filaments containing hard materials such as Glass-filled PLA can cause increased wear in 3D printer nozzles made out of brass or other relatively soft materials. We recommend upgrading to a steel or hardened extruder nozzle if you plan on doing extensive printing with
