PolyLite™ is a family of 3D printing filaments made with the best raw materials to deliver exceptional quality and reliability. PolyLite™ covers the most popular 3D printing materials to meet your everyday needs in design and prototyping. PolyLite™ PLA is a high-quality PLA designed for reliability and ease of printing.

Features

• Strength and Rigidity - PolyLite™ 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 PolyLite™ PLA ideal for product design and prototyping applications that require a rigid material that is easy to print.
• Compatibility In Mind - PolyLite™ PLA is a high quality PLA filament compatible with a wide range of 3D printers including models from Creality, FlashForge, Monoprice, Lulzbot, Makerbot, Ultimaker, Prusa Research, Raise3D, Tiertime and other popular extrusion based 3D printers. PolyLite™ PLA can be printed without a heated bed and works well with common printing surfaces, though a heated bed can be used to achieve better results (maximum 60°C).
• Jam-Free™ technology - PolyLite™ 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 [1].
• Uncompromised Quality - PolyLite™ 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.

[1] Heat creep is the 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-Free™ 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.

Printing Settings

• Nozzle Temperature: 190°C - 230°C
• Build Plate Temperature: 25°C - 60°C
• Build Surface Material: Works well with most build surfaces i.e Glass, Blue Tape, BuildTak® etc
• Build Surface Treatment: Can apply Magigoo Original or PVA glue to the build surface to improve adhesion.
• Cooling Fan: ON
• Printing Speed: 40 mm/s - 60 mm/s
• Recommended Support Material:    
  
  • Single Extrusion:
    
    • Self Support
  • Dual Extrusion:
    
    • PolyDissolve™ S1 (Dissolve in tap water)
    • PolySupport™ for PLA (Easy break-away support material)

The above are printing recommendations based on 0.4 mm nozzle. Please note ideal printing conditions may vary depending on your 3D printer setup. For high speed 3D printers, make sure to increase your extrusion temperature in order to use higher printing speeds.

Specifications

• Net Weight: 3kg
• Material Type: PLA
• Density: 1.17 (g/cm3 at 21.5˚C) 
• Technologies: Features Jam-Free™ Technology

Compatibility

PolyLite™ PLA has been engineered with compatibility in mind to print excellently on a wide range of 3D printers. The Jam-Free™ technology implemented into PolyLite™ PLA can improve compatibility with all metal hot end designs that suffer from heat creep.

High rigidity materials like PolyLite™ PLA work best in set ups where the filament guide system is smooth and as no harsh bends.

Of course with thousands of unique 3d printer models on the market, we can't guarantee each filament type will work with every 3D printer. Slicer experience and setting adjustment is always required to get the most out of a material. Before jumping into an ambitious project we always recommend printing some known calibration tests to build or make adjustments to the filament profile.
