ColorFabb LW-PLA-HT 1.75mm Filament (750g) by ColorFabb
Tired of your 3D prints melting like ice cream in the sun? Meet ColorFabb LW-PLA-HT. It's featherlight, heatproof, and ready for the spotlight. Great for RC planes or props—because flimsy is so last season.
Product Description
Lightweight, Durable, and Heat-Resistant Filament for Precision Printing
ColorFabb's LW-PLA-HT filament takes lightweight 3D printing to the next level, blending durability and heat resistance to outshine the original LW-PLA. Designed for projects like RC planes, cosplay props, and lightweight models, it's a go-to for makers who demand performance. With an active foaming process, the filament creates featherlight parts that are strong yet easy to modify. Darker colors even offer extra protection against heat deformation.
Thin structures printed with LW-PLA-HT can withstand sunlight and heat far better, prolonging usability. However, its slightly higher density compared to standard LW-PLA means you may need to tweak your g-codes for optimal results.
