PLA Traffic Black 3D Filament
Experience an improved 3D Printer experience with the industry leading PLA Filament from TM3D. Available in diameters 1.75mm and 2.85mm , please note this when ordering.
Features of PLA 3D Filament:
- Biodegradable and environmentally friendly: PLA is made from renewable raw materials such as sugar cane. It is biodegradable under industrial composting conditions, making it a more environmentally friendly option compared to petroleum-based plastics.
- Low melting temperature: PLA has a relatively low melting temperature (between 180°C and 220°C), making it easier to print on most 3D printers without the need for a heated print bed. This makes it ideal for use in home printers and educational environments.
- Good surface quality: Prints made with PLA have a glossy finish and can be highly detailed, making it a popular choice for cosmetic prints and prototypes that require a good surface finish.
- Less warping: Warping (the warping of the print as it cools) is a common problem in 3D printing, but PLA tends to warp less compared to other materials such as ABS . This makes it easier to print large and complex models without distortion.
- Odor: When printed, PLA emits a light, sweet odor, unlike the strong odors that some other plastics can produce. This makes using this filament in closed spaces more pleasant.
Applications:
- Decorative objects and works of art
- Functional prototypes and parts
- Educational projects
- Architectural models

Frequently asked questions
Got a question?
Which filament material should I choose for my 3D printer?
The material you choose depends on the intended use and the desired properties of the end product. Some popular filament options include PLA (biodegradable and easy to print), ABS (strong and impact resistant), PETG (durable and flexible), and TPU (flexible and elastic). Consider the desired strength, flexibility, temperature resistance and special properties when making your choice.
Which filament diameter should I buy?
The filament diameter must match the specifications of your 3D printer. The most common diameters are 1.75 mm and 2.85 mm. Check your printer's manual or the specifications on the manufacturer's website to find out which diameter is suitable.
What is the difference between PLA and ABS filament?
PLA (Polylactic Acid) and ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) are both commonly used filament materials, but they have different properties. PLA is biodegradable, easy to print, less likely to warp and produces less odor during printing. ABS is stronger, more impact resistant and more resistant to higher temperatures, but it requires good ventilation due to the odor released during printing.
What is the influence of filament color on the printing result?
The filament color does not affect the printability or mechanical properties of the final product, but it can affect the aesthetic appearance. Bright colors can make small imperfections and layers more visible, while dark colors may hide them. It is mainly a matter of personal preference and the desired appearance of the printed object.
How do I store 3D filament properly?
To maintain the quality of your filament, it is important to store it properly. Store the filament in a dry and cool place, preferably in an airtight container or a sealable container with a moisture-absorbing agent, such as silica gel. Exposure to moisture can adversely affect print results, so protection against moisture is essential.
