Light Weight Filament 1.75mm, 1KG, LW-PLA Low-Density Active Foaming 3D Printer
- [Reduced Weight]: Designed with active foaming technology, the LW PLA Filament density of 0.54g/cm³ compared to 1.2 g/cm³ for regular PLA, means a huge weight reduction to your printed parts, perfect for stuff like RC planes and drones. The reduced weight enables lower wing loads and stall speed, allowing for overall better performance.
- [Active Foaming Control]: Unlike pre-foamed Air PLA filaments, our LW-PLA enables dynamic control over the foaming process directly from your printer. Precisely manipulate the expansion ratio and final part weight by fine-tuning temperature, print speed, and flow rate to unlock variable density and superior strength-to-weight ratios on demand.
- [Unlimited Customization]: The LW PLA filament will start expanding with certain printing temperatures above 210 ℃. By adjusting the printing temperature, speed, and flow during your print, you can customize the expansion effect by using different temperatures and speeds in a section on a model for varied density.
- [2X 3D Prints with One Spool]: The foaming expansion of this LW PLA filament makes it possible for you to print at up to 2X Material flow so that you can print more with less material. One LW PLA roll equals up to 2.2 ordinary PLA rolls.
- [Perfect Materials for RC Planes]: The expanding property of this PLA Filament allows for excellent layer bonding, better drop resistance and repairability. In combination with the low-density feature, making this filament a perfect option for RC Planes and Drones Parts, Cosplay Models.
- [Smooth Finish & Paint Friendly]: Models printed with this LW PLA filament has a smooth matte surface with minimum layer lines. The improved paint adhesion also sets no limit on your creativity.
Overview:
LW-PLA (Lightweight PLA) is a 3d printing material specially developed for aeromodelling drones and cosplay. Compared with wood filament, LW-PLA has a more stable interlayer bonding, and the foaming rate and strength of which can be controlled by adjusting the printing temperature.
The maximum foaming rate of this LW-PLA filament is 220%, which means when printing models of the same volume, 1 roll of LW-PLA can be used as 2.2 rolls of ordinary PLA.
With active foaming technology, this filament delivers low-density and light weight parts. In addition, the foaming feature of it also makes it possible for almost invisible layer lines and a smooth matte finish.
This material starts to foam and expand when printing above 210 ℃, the prints volume can increase by nearly 1.2 times, the printing extrusion rate can be reduced to a max of 45% to print lightweight parts.
Compared with regular PLA Filament, printing with the LW-PLA Filament delivers a lighter wing load and a lower stall speed to your aircraft models. With a better balance between strength and weight, it also brings better performance to your models.
Printing Tips:
Pay attention to the maximum operating temperature of your 3d printer, most 3d printers with Teflon Heatbreak tube cannot run above 250 ℃ for a long time, or melting and blockage may occur. If you need to print above 250 ℃ constantly, we recommend you use high-temp Full Metal Hotend 3d printer.
It is normal for Highly expanded prints to yellow. To reduce this effect, reduce expansion and print at lower temps.
LW-PLA will continue to foam in the melt zone of the nozzle, so retraction does not work in this circumstance, and your 3d printer will continue to print even when the extruder crosses an empty space and cause stringing. We recommend you print in vase mode.
