Foreword:
Light-weight PLA filaments use a nano-foaming technology to greatly improve the foaming multiplier of PLA materials without affecting the printing effect of PLA materials. Makes filament less dense and light.
Technical Specification:
- Filament Diameter: 1.75mm
- Tolerance: ±0.03mm
- Printing Temperature:210 – 260℃
- Heated Bed Temperature: 45 – 60°C
- Printing Speed： 30~90mm/s
Highlight:
- Light-weight PLA uses a special modification method and nano-foaming technology to greatly improve the foaming multiplier of PLA materials without affecting the printing effect of PLA materials, and the foaming multiplier can reach over 200%.
- Due to its foam characteristics, it has low shrinkage in printing and molding and strong adhesion between layers. And the surface is almost invisible layer pattern, with a fine matte texture effect, easy to color, you can perfectly play your creativity.
- This PLA filament, with its low density, lightweight, excellent adhesion, and no warping and cracking, makes this filament the perfect choice for model airplanes, boats, and cosplay wearable parts.

FAQ
Q: Why my filament tangles? How can I solve it?
A: The tangle of filament isn’t caused by the disordered or the imperfect winding. According to the production technology of filament, the filament winds back and forth (from left to right and then from right to left). Normally, there is no overline tangle. A common cause of tangle is that the filament end is n ot fixed to the holes of spool. Overline tangle or the changed winding direction make filament tangle. So customers need to fix the filament end to the proper holes of the spool.
Q:Is Foamed PLA degradable?
A: Foamed PLA is a degradable material, but has a longer degradation cycle than conventional PLA due to the addition of nano-foaming substances.
Q:The nozzle is clogged by Foamed PLA, and how can I solve it?
A: Inconstant filament diameter, the lower nozzle temperature and frequent replacement with different kinds of filaments will lead to this problem. So, before you get started, clean the nozzle and turn up the temperature to a proper value.
Q: My prints have web-like strings (stringing) issues. How can I troubleshoot it?
A: Due to the foaming characteristics of Foamed PLA, it is not possible to avoid stringing, so the printed model can be post-processed with a file or abrasive paper.
Q:There are too much melted filament around the nozzle. What should I do?
A:Foamed PLA has a foaming rate of 200% at 250 °C, so the flow rate should be adjusted to 50% when printing at a print temperature of 250 °C.
Q: The Foamed PLA filament was perfect when I opened the package. After several times of intermittent printing, my Foamed PLA filament snaps by accident during printing. Why?
A: Normally, the Foamed PLAfilament in the printing process will not snap by themselves. However, after being affected by moisture, the degradable material Foamed PLA will be more brittle and easier to break, so you should pay attention to dampproof.
Q: The surface of my print isn’t very smooth, and the extruded filament has inconstant diameters. Why?
A: The printing temperature is too high or too low. The temperature doesn’t match well with the printing speed. You need to adjust the printing speed or temperature.
Q: Why my Foamed PLA objects don't stick to the heated bed? How do I solve?
A:Nozzle and hot bed spacing is too large, not leveled, if leveled, the print temperature is too low or the hot bed temperature is too low will also not stick to the hot bed, it is recommended to increase the print temperature and hot bed temperature, or add a layer of "draft" or "Skirt" before printing.
