Frequently asked questions
What distinguishes PLA Energy from other Smart3DPT PLAs?
PLA Energy stands out with its vibrant and energetic colors — Green, Yellow, and Orange — and its crystalline molecular structure that allows post-printing annealing to increase the mechanical and thermal resistance of the parts.
Is a closed chamber necessary for printing PLA Energy?
No. Temperature: 205–220°C (classic) or 220–240°C (high speed). Bed above 45°C, glass or PEI surface, fan at 100%.
What is the annealing process and how does it apply to this filament?
Annealing is a post-printing heat treatment performed in an oven that increases the crystallinity of PLA Energy, significantly improving the mechanical and thermal resistance of the parts.
How should I store PLA Energy filament?
Store in an airtight bag with desiccant in a dry place. Moisture absorption can affect extrusion quality and color vibrancy during printing.
