It also supports the open filament tag standard, so a compatible machine can read the spool and load the right settings for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy only black and white?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause they are the easiest colours to keep identical from run to run, and they cover most real work. Prove the process on the colours that hold best, then add the ones that are harder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I get a custom colour?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, and that is one of the real advantages of local extrusion. Bring a hex, a Pantone reference or a physical sample.

PLA prints at low temperatures, does not need an enclosure and rarely warps, so most printers run it well on default settings. PLA is also available in more colours and finishes than any other material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat temperature should I print PLA at?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost PLA prints well with the nozzle between 190 and 220°C and the bed at 50 to 60°C. Silk and matte PLA often like the upper half of that nozzle range. Run the part cooling fan at full speed once the first layers are down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan PLA be used outdoors?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePLA is not a good outdoor material in Australia. PLA softens at about 55°C, which a part can reach in direct sun or inside a parked car, and it will sag or warp. ASA and PETG handle heat and weather far better than PLA.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore about the range on the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/siddament.com.au\/pages\/cntrl-p\"\u003eCNTRL P page\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout PLA filament\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePLA is the easiest 3D printer filament to print. It needs no enclosure, sticks to a bed at 50 to 60°C and holds fine detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat PLA is good for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePLA suits models, cosplay, toys, prototypes, jigs and anything that lives indoors. It is stiff and holds sharp detail. It softens at around 55°C, so it is the wrong choice for a part left in a hot car or in direct summer sun. For outdoor or warm parts look at PETG or ASA.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/siddament.com.au\/collections\/all-pla\"\u003ePLA filament\u003c\/a\u003e or the full \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/siddament.com.au\/collections\/cntrl-p-filament\"\u003eCNTRL P Australian made filament\u003c\/a\u003e range.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CNTRL P","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":67619186278679,"sku":null,"price":19.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"White","offer_id":67619186311447,"sku":null,"price":19.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/9168\/1815\/files\/cntrlp-spool-black.webp?v=1790684533","url":"https:\/\/siddament.com.au\/products\/cntrl-p-pla","provider":"SIDDAMENT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
