BASF Black PRO Series PLA Filament - 2.85mm (5lb)
The materials experts at BASF have developed an exciting PLA in their engineering line: PRO1 PLA. This engineering thermoplastic is a high quality, tough PLA, excellent for printing tools, jigs and fixtures, as it boasts strengths above ABS, but which can be printed much faster and more easily--allowing you to make more, in less time, all while maintaining the reliability you need.

PRO1 provides the features of ABS with the ease of PLA
The materials engineers at BASF know that you need the performance of a stronger plastic such as ABS, but can't always iterate the way ABS can sometimes require. That's why they developed PRO1 to perform like ABS, while still printing quickly and smoothly like a high quality PLA should.
PRO1 offers major advantages above ABS and PLA:
- Speed: Reduce your printing time by 30% - 80%.
- Strength: Mechanical properties that are an improvement above ABS.
- Versatility: Can be tuned to focus on speed, strength or a gorgeous surface finish.
- Consistency: Will perform identically between colors and batches, every time.

Questions
This material seems to have terrible warping through our e3d volcano extruder when printing at lowest temperatures and max fan, is this material especially sensitive to chamber temperature and/or humidity? Cheap amazon PLA's don't seem to have any of the same issues...
In addition to my previous question, what is the diameter of the reel?
Whats the print settings of PRO PLA vs normal PLA? 1. I see your suggested settings of 235°C (assuming nozzle, all layers); This seems high over other 'normal PLA', the Prusa PLA i just took off my machine ran good at 205-210. BUT i did notice your BUILD series PLA states [205±15°C]. So pro just needs to run hotter? 2. Suggested setting says "Print speed 15mm/s" - That seems VERY slow in comparison to Prusa generic PLA I was just running. Again, I checked your BUILD series PLA to compare... nothing is listed, can you provide some more finely tuned print settings? Problem; off the batt with a new 5lb spool this stuff is printing pretty accurately from what I can tell but is VERY stringy. I'm about to test some higher temps and will report back.
Am now using my 2# Robo3D Carbon PLA. My carbon fill nylon should be kept dry. How much must I desicate all my PLA filaments? Have lefdt PLA filaments out for some time with no apparent bad effects.
what are the dimensions on M4S8S7TT? Spool diameter, width, true shipping weight?
What is the spool thickness on these 10lb reels? Want to make sure the holder I make can fit these on it. Also, what is the hole diameter in the reel?
Does this shrink less than the standard PLA when cooling? I don't see any mention of this specifically?
What's the tare weight of the spool?
