Are you looking to buy Polymaker Polylite Starlight PLA 1.75mm Filament 1kg in Australia?
PolyLite™ Starlight PLA is a series of high quality PLA filaments with iridescent pigments that reflect colours differently depending on the position of light. Each colour has been formulated to deliver an out-of-this-world effect combining a glittery, shimmery and iridescent surface finish.
Features
- Shimmery & Iridescent Effect - PolyLite™ Starlight PLA is a high quality PLA with a colour changing pigment that reflects different colours depending on the angle of light.
- Strength and Rigidity - PolyLiteTM PLA is based on a high molecular weight PLA from Natureworks, which makes it one of the most rigid PLA materials on the market. The combination of good tensile strength, inter-layer adhesion and stiffness makes PolyLiteTM PLA ideal for product design and prototyping applications that require a rigid material that is easy to print.
- Compatibility In Mind - PolyLite™ Starlight PLA is based on the same high molecular weight PLA as PolyLite™ PLA which makes it one of the most rigid PLA materials on the market. The combination of good tensile strength, inter-layer adhesion and stiffness makes PolyLite™ Starlight PLA ideal for product design and prototyping applications that require a rigid material that is easy to print.
- Jam-FreeTM technology - PolyLite™ Starlight PLA is manufactured with Polymakers Jam-Free™ technology which improves the heat stability of the filament with softening temperatures over 140°C and leads to excellent printing quality with zero risk of nozzle jams caused by heat creep*.
- Uncompromised Quality - PolyLite™ Starlight PLA filament is made with the highest quality ingredients including Ingeo® from Natureworks. Natureworks is a world-leading biopolymers supplier based in the USA with a portfolio of high quality raw PLA materials produced from rapidly renewable plant resources. Combining Polymakers innovative R&D technologies, compounding and extrusion systems with Natureworks Ingeo® resins produces a reliable 3D printing filament to print beautiful and accurate models.
*Heat creep is the process of heat spreading irregularly throughout the hot end, one common example is with all metal hot end designs. Once heat creeps towards the cold end, the PLA filament softens prematurely in the cold end and expands resulting in a jam. Polymakers Jam-FreeTM technology increases the heat resistance of the filament itself (not the printed part) to 140 ̊C which prevents the filament from prematurely softening in the cold end and can still melt rapidly once entering the heating zone. The printed part will have the same heat resistance as regular PLA: ~60 ̊C.
