Filament Spectrum Light Weight PLA 1.75mm TRAFFIC BLACK 1kg

Spectrum Light Weight PLA filament is a modern filament based on PLA. The uniqueness of this material results from the use of innovative active foaming technology, activated by temperature.

In the full foaming phase, the filament increases its volume by over 2 times, reaching an extremely low density of approximately 0.52 g/cm3. This material gives the user incredible flexibility in adjusting material flow, allowing it to be reduced by up to 55%. This, in turn, allows you to create elements with significantly reduced weight. Additionally, it is possible to use the foaming ability to speed up the 3D printing process by using layers of greater thickness or single, solid outlines.

The speed and level of foaming can be controlled by changing the printing temperature, which allows you to adjust the density of the material for various elements depending on your needs. This filament is an excellent solution for printing RC aeroplane models and other projects where low weight is important. By using Spectrum Light Weight PLA, it is possible to achieve a significant reduction in the weight of printed parts, up to 50% compared to traditional PLA.
The unique properties of this filament allow users to enjoy low weight, exceptional durability, and precision of prints. The matte and rough surface finish gives the finished elements an attractive appearance and effectively masks the layers.

Foaming is activated at a printing temperature of 220°C and should peak in the temperature range of 240°C - 250°C. If the flow coefficient is significantly reduced, the filament may foam before leaving the nozzle and the extruder may become clogged. The colour of the filament will become slightly lighter when the material is maximally foamed.
