PLA Pellets
PLA Pellets are ideal for making your own 3D filament or for use in a pellet-fed 3D printer.
Processing Recommendations:
- Pre-dry before extrusion at 60°C for 4 hours. A toaster oven works fine for this. Do your family a favor and do not dry the resin in your kitchen oven! (Wet material will extrude with bubbles present in the filament. If this happens, dry the resin more before processing.)
- Extrusion Temp: 170 – 190°C

Abrasive Material
This material is particularly abrasive among 3D printing filaments. Users may find standard brass nozzles are chewed through very quickly compared to standard wear and tear. When worn through, the nozzle diameter will widen inconsistently and the printer will experience extrusion issues.
Because of this, it's strongly recommended this material be printed through a hardened steel nozzle rather than a softer metal. Hardened steel nozzles can often be inexpensive and easily installed depending on your printer manufacturer's instructions.
