AzureFilm PLA (Polylactide) is a bio-based filament that combines strong mechanical properties with the most forgiving print behaviour of any common 3D printing material. Made from renewable plant-derived sources, it prints without a heated bed or enclosure, produces no irritating odour, and delivers a clean, consistent surface finish — making it the go-to choice for prototypes, enclosures, display parts, and everyday functional prints.

Why choose PLA?

Easiest to print — no heated bed required, no enclosure, minimal warping, and reliable first layers.
High stiffness — tensile modulus of 3.3 GPa delivers rigid, dimensionally accurate parts.
Good surface finish — clean, consistent output that takes paint and post-processing well.
Odour-free — no irritating fumes during printing.
Bio-based & renewable — derived from plant-based sources; a lower-impact option vs. petroleum-based filaments.
Wide compatibility — works with virtually all FDM/FFF printers (Prusa, Creality, Bambu Lab, Ultimaker, Anycubic, and more).

Recommended Print Settings

Nozzle temperature200–230°C
Bed temperatureNot required (50–60°C recommended)
Print speed50–100 mm/s
Nozzle size0.4mm (or larger)
Cooling fan100%
Heated chamberNot required
Print surfaceGlass, Kapton tape, Blue tape

These settings are a starting guide — every printer and hot-end is different, so feel free to fine-tune for your setup.

Storage & Handling

PLA is hygroscopic and will absorb moisture from the air over time. For best results, dry the filament at 45–50°C for 4–6 hours before printing, and store it in a sealed container with desiccant when not in use. Wet PLA typically shows as stringing, popping, or a rough surface finish — if you notice these symptoms, drying is the first step.
