1 Kg (2.2 lbs) spool of 1.75mm gold PLA filament. All filament is sealed in a bag with desiccant.

PLA, aka Polylactic Acid, is a multipurpose material commonly used in 3D printing. PLA is a bioplastic, which means it is made from renewable natural resources such as corn starch and tapioca products. As a biodegradable material it is much better for the environment, especially compared to petrochemical-based alternatives (such as ABS).

PLA is the official build material for RepRap printers and is compatible with nearly all 3D printers, including MakerBot, Darwin, and RapMan.

At MatterHackers, we tend to favor PLA as our printing material due to its high strength and minimal warping .
