The product code for this item is AHPLGE-10 . It is engineered to work seamlessly with standard FDM machines while maintaining a consistent diameter of 1.75mm. Users often find that drying the filament before use yields even better results, ensuring the material remains free from moisture which can cause bubbling or layer separation during printing.
Features
Key Printing Specifications
To get the best performance from this grey PLA filament, consider these recommended settings and physical properties:
- Diameter: 1.75mm for standard FDM compatibility
- Nozzle Size: Recommended 0.2 mm or above to ensure smooth flow
- Printing Temperature: Optimized range of 190-230 degrees Celsius
- Heated Bed Temperature: Maintain between 55 and 56 degrees Celsius
- Recommended Printing Speed: Capable of speeds from 50 to 200 mm/s
Beyond basic printing parameters, the material boasts impressive mechanical properties. It features a melting point temperature of 166 degrees Celsius and a density of 1.24 g/cm cubed. The tensile strength measures around 48±5 Mpa, while the bending strength reaches 90±3 MPa, making it suitable for durable functional parts. Additional characteristics include a Vicat softening temperature of 55 degrees Celsius and a heat deflection temperature of 54 degrees Celsius at 0.45MPa.
The filament also excels in impact resistance with an Izod impact strength (X-Y) of 22±2 kJ/m squared. For users requiring specific flow rates, the maximum volume speed is rated at 12 mm cubed per second. The melt index falls between 4 and 10 g/10 min when tested at 190 degrees Celsius under a 2.16 kg load.
Drying and Storage Recommendations
To maintain the integrity of the filament, it is recommended to dry out the spool before use if it has been exposed to humidity. The ideal drying condition involves keeping the material at 45-50 degrees Celsius for a duration of 6 to 8 hours. This process helps prevent common printing defects associated with moisture absorption.
