What is PLA Filament?
PLA (Polylactic Acid) is a thermoplastic polymer made from renewable resources such as corn starch, sugarcane, or other starch-rich crops. It is commonly used as a 3D printing filament for a variety of reasons, including:
- It's really easy to use
- Low warping
- Environmentally friendly - much more biodegradable when compared to other petroleum-based plastics

Questions
So I've had great success using PLA+ from another vendor. I was given a spool of this as a gift and have had zero success. I can get it to extrude ok in the 205-215 range, but the adhesion goes from non-existant to terrible. On the rare occasion that the print starts, it separates within 7mm of print and goops up. Can anyone offer some settings that they've found to work from experience? Based on other posts on here, I am gathering that this filament may just be garbage?
I am seeing that with the abrasiveness of the filament there is potential for damage/clogging. I am running a Da Vinci Pro Jr., of which I do have a hardened steel nozzle. However, the size for the nozzle is .4; the manufacturer does not offer a .6 size (which is what is suggested). Would the size issue be negligible as it is a hardened steel/abrasion resistant tip, or would it still cause non-insignificant wear?
Clogging the nozzle, .4mm nozzle, green was printing perfectly. Tried a variety of temps. Does the .6 nozzle make the difference? Brand new packaged spool.
Hi, I was wondering if there's an estimated date that the blue glow in the dark PLA filament (1.75mm) will be back in stock. Thank you!
What is the recommended nozzle size for this filament?
how long does the glow last on this stuff?
is this easy to use with the creality ender 3 and how long will my nozzle last on my 3d printer
What are the shipping dimensions?
Widened my nozzle from a .4 to about a .6, and I just can't understand why this is the one site where the gitd filament doesn't have an abrasion warning? I should have known it was too good to be true :\ Please add an abrasion warning to any future customers. It's extremely misleading telling above questions "there will be minimal damage to your printer".
Hi I was curious if you would happen to know the emission spectrum of the plastic
I am at a loss with this glow PLA. I have printed from 185C-212C and no matter what the temp, layer adhesion is TERRIBLE. It crumbles apart with the slightest finger pressure. If i print 215-220C adhesion is EXCELLENT, but then I get bubbles, gaps, and weird artifacts. What's am I doing wrong?
I can't get this to print without seriously clogging my Kossel Pro. Any suggestions?
Any chance of the destruction of the 3D printer
Other gitd filaments I've looked into have abrasion warnings, and from what I've heard in the community, it eats up your nozzle pretty quick unless you're using a hardened one. Is this information factual? I don't see anything about it listed here.
Hi @Crucial!
While this filament is not necessarily abrasive, it would be a good idea to use a hardened steel nozzle when printing with this filament.
We had a serious problem with this GITD filament. We didn't make it more than half way through the spool before our brass nozzle was shot and we just had to toss the remainder of the spool. Wore it down height wise to an unusable state. I will also iterate that adhesion to blue tape is terrible. Any settings I changed didn't seem to help very well at all. I'll just say we won't be buying this GITD filament again. Also really need some disclaimer product description if the moderators are recommending a hardened steel nozzle over brass.
Hi there @Guest,
Thank you for your input, I'll notify our web team to take a look and see if we can get the description of the material to have a warning to clearly state the issue. Please reach out to us at support@matterhackers.com if you ever encounter an issue with one of the products.
