eSun PLA-Basic 1.75mm 1kg Light Grey — colour: Light Grey.
PLA is the easiest 3D printing material there is and the best place to start. It does not shrink as it cools, sticks to the bed without tricks, and gives a clean surface even on a budget printer.
eSun has been making 3D printing materials since 2007 and is now one of the largest manufacturers in the world — which means consistent quality between batches and a wide colour range.
Best for
- Prototypes, models and mock-ups
- Decorations, toys and gifts
- Holders, boxes and drawer dividers
Worth knowing
PLA starts to soften just above 60 °C, so it is not the material for a car in summer or for parts left in direct sun. Use PETG or ASA for those.
Exact print settings, drying recommendation and printer requirements are in the specification table above.
