Protopasta Protopasta "Banana for Scale" Satin Yellow HTPLA Filament - 2.85mm (0.5kg)
No measuring tape for your banana? No problem! Use another "Banana for Scale" to measure the banana! HTPLA combines the ease of PLA 3D printing with the ability to heat-treat your parts post-printing to increase their stiffness at higher temperatures. This makes the PLA a more universal use filament, and this particular color is an opalescent classic bright yellow filament with a smooth satin finish.

Heat Treat for Great Performance
PLA and HTPLA are great for many applications, just exactly as they're printed, but once they're stored above 50C, they start to break down. Luckily, the HT is for Heat Treat! Or is it High Temp? Either way, it's a huge improvement to the part's thermal stability--up to three times standard PLA, or non-annealed HTPLA.
Simply place your printed part in your oven for a few minutes (larger parts will need longer times) at 100 - 120C (200 - 250F), and the material will crystallize and become much stiffer. Keep in mind this may warp some architectures of printed parts, so experimentation is required. Best results are with flat and/or supported parts with 100% infill.
HTPLA could be the solution to your printing needs.
No hardened nozzle required
Many composite materials require a hardened nozzle, but not this filament! This material prints perfectly with a standard brass nozzle without any additional wear compared to standard filaments. This material is perfect for those who want to expand their filament library without having to make hardware changes on their printer, as it offers expanded possibilities without any drawbacks or complications.
Questions
is the resin 405mm and is it uv curable
Are you all going to carry the high tensile resin?
I am currently experimenting with two different resins and an Anycubic Photon. One of the resins is stiff and the other is a little bit elastic. The stiff resin tends to snap easily and the slightly elastic one is extremely prone to wear due to abrasion. Will the PhotoCentric 3d firm tend to snap, abrade, or will it wear well? Is there another resin that prints with slight flexibility that is considered to be the toughest? Thanks!
Does firm resin work with the Anycubic Photon
I'm unsure of the difference on photocentric 3d's laser vs dlp labelled resins. Not because of the different 3d printer technology used but because their website seems to indicate they are the same, whereas other resin suppliers differentiate due to the difference in light dosage. Could you confirm if the photocentric resins labelled laser will actually work in a dlp printer? Also, what are the chances of you stocking their "tough" resin? Thanks in advance, Steven
I am Looking For a resin with little or no shrinkage, For lcd printer. That for jewelry models.
Hi there IGOR,
This material will have a shrink rate of less than 3% but I do not have a specific number to pull from. Unfortunately this material will not work with a DLP printer, you may want to try the Maker Juice resin we have.
