Colorfabb LW-PLA Light Weight Foaming PLA Filament 1.75mm

Colorfabbs Light weight PLA (LW-PLA) is the best filament for printing RC Planes, Cosplay and other lightweight items. Parts are feather-light, yet retain good strength and are easy to cut, trim and sand. If part weight matters to you, then this is your filament of choice.

Pros

•  Reduce the weight of printed parts up to 65% compared to regular PLA.
• Control extruded volume of material by regulating printing temperature. At around 230C LW-PLA starts foaming and can increase its volume by nearly 3 times.
• With one spool LW-PLA you can print as much as with 3 regular spools of PLA, due to the 3x lower material multiplier / flow.
• Easy to cut, trim, sand and takes paint really well.
• LW-PLA (Natural,Black,Gray Silver & Red) hides layer lines really well. 

Cons

•  Material oozes on travelmoves, this is normal and can’t be reduced completely.
•  Color will turn lighter when material is at maximum foamed state as opposed to non-foamed state which shows a deeper and richer color.
