Description
3D META’s High Speed PLA 3D printing filament is produced with high quality, specially modified toughened polylactic acid (PLA) material. Designed with the added benefit of high fluidity, rapid cooling and solidification characteristics making it perfect for high speed printing. Our High Speed PLA filament retains the same high strength and exceptional bed and layer adhesion as our PLA+ filament. While suitable for most FDM printers, High Speed PLA is specifically designed for high speed printers. Like all of our PLA filaments High Speed PLA does not warp or crack, has excellent dimensional stability and is manufactured under strict QA standards. Other features of 3D META’s High Speed filament also includes being 100% biodegradable as well as being FDA food safety approved. All up this gives users a high speed, easy to print, consistent and reliable, high quality filament that you can use with confidence.

Applications:
Due to its overall strength, easy printability and wide range of colours, High Speed PLA can be used for a range of applications. Most commonly PLA products are used for decorative / ornamental pieces, cosplay, and product prototyping. With it’s added strength PLA+ can also be suitable for some functional parts, printer upgrades etc.
One downside to PLA/PLA+ filaments are that they have low UV resistant, meaning that if your printed piece is going to be outside it will weaken and fade overtime due to UV exposure. Good filaments for outdoor use are PETG and ASA.
Storage and Drying:
To prevent moisture absorption, it is recommended to keep your filament in a cool, dark, dry area, preferable sealed in an airtight bag.
Filament can be dried with various methods including a dedicated filament drying machine, food dehydrator, oven, or even your printer if it’s fully enclosed. For PLA and PLA+ filaments we recommend a drying temperature of 40℃ - 45℃ for a minimum of 4 – 6 hours.
