USE AND APPLICATIONS OF GREEN ARMY PLA FILAMENT FOR 3D PRINTERS:

• Prototyping: creation of quick and cost-effective prototypes
• Decorative objects
• Large parts.
• Architectural models.
• Functional parts: PLA is a strong and durable material, suitable for creating functional components.
• Figures and toys: PLA is a safe and easy-to-use material, ideal for creating figures and toys.

The Green filament is one of the most popular materials for 3D printers. Its popularity is due to its numerous advantages, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications.

What is PLA filament for 3D printers?

The Green  army PLA filament is Polylactic Acid or PLA. A biodegradable plastic due to its natural origins (corn or potato). The final texture is not as smooth as ABS, nor as strong. However, it’s easier to work on projects that don’t require impact resistance in your 3D printer as printed parts perform better with angles, appear shinier, and do not require a heated bed.

The Green army   filament offers several advantages over other 3D printer materials, including:

• Easy to print: PLA is easy to print, even for beginners.
• No need for prolonged preheating and is resistant to warping.
• Good print quality: Green army  filament provides good print quality, with fine details and smooth finishes.
• Biodegradable material: PLA is biodegradable, making it a more sustainable option. Non-toxic: PLA is a non-toxic material, safe for use in applications that come into contact with food or toys.

Why is it the most used material? Green army  filament is the most widely used material for 3D printers due to its numerous advantages. It is an ideal choice for a wide range of applications, from prototyping to the production of functional parts.

Smart Materials offers a variety of colors in PLA filaments as well as different weights and diameters (1.75mm and 2.85mm), making them suitable for almost all commercial printers on the market.

"SMARTFIL PLA is made with high-quality PLA, without incorporating recycled or recovered material. Completely stabilized with a diameter variability of ±0.03 mm. It does not produce warping. Excellent printing resolution."

MAINTENANCE OF PLA FILAMENT IN 3D PRINTERS:

We recommend that once you finish your 3D piece, if you are not going to use the 3D printer again, do not remove the filament from the extruder.

Why not remove the filament from the extruder once the 3D printed piece is finished?

A small part of the material always remains in the heating block and nozzle. If we remove
