PLA Basic

Basic Info
PLA is the most common material in 3D printing as it’s easy to print and inexpensive. Meanwhile, its stiffness and strength can meet most printing needs. It is worth mentioning that it can biodegrade in some artificial composting conditions. Bambu PLA Basic is designed for high-speed printing. Compared to general PLA, it can easily achieve printing speeds up to 250-300 mm/s and has excellent toughness and Z-layer strength.

Recommended Printing Settings

Properties
Bambu Lab has tested the differing aspects of the performance of PLA Basic material, including physical, mechanical, and chemical properties. Typical values are listed as follows:

Specimen Test

All the specimens were annealed and dried at 55 °C for 8 h before testing. The suggested annealing temperature of models printed with Bambu PLA Basic is 50 to 60 °C, and the time is 6 to 12 hours. The annealing effect depends on the annealing temperature, time, and the model itself: size, structure, infill, l, and other printing settings; some prints may deform and warp after annealing. When drying the filament and annealing the prints, it‘s required to use an oven that is big enough inside volume and can provide even temperature distribution, such as a blast drying oven (forced-air drying oven), and the filament and prints need to be away from the heater, and a microwave oven or kitchen oven is not compatible, otherwise, the filament and prints can get damaged.
