Details: Gizmo Dorks PLA Filament 3mm (2.85mm) 200g for 3D Printers, Heat Color Change Gray to White

Brand: Gizmo Dorks

Gizmo Dorks PLA filament is made from the highest quality virgin material. PLA, Polylactic Acid, is created from processing a number of plant products. PLA can be composted at commercial facilities unlike ABS which is derived from fossil fuels. PLA is a more earth friendly plastic and more rigid than ABS, and in general the printed objects will have a more glossy look and feel compared to ABS. PLA can be sanded and machined. PLA has a lower melting temperature compared to ABS. As a material, PLA has much less warping versus ABS. Additionally, a heated bed is not required to print it. PLA generally enjoys sharper details and corners compared to ABS without the risk of cracking or warping. PLA can also be printed at higher throughput speeds.Color changing filament is a special filament formulation that changes color when heat is applied. When the temperature of the plastic rises above approximately 88 F, the filament will change to another color. This also means that the plastic will change colors simply by touch such as when holding it in your hand. When the temperature drops down below 88 F, the filament changes back to it’s default color.Extrusion Temperature: 190 – 225 CHeated Bed: Not required but recommended at 60 CDiameter: 2.85mm +/- 0.03mmNet Weight: 200 gramsColors available in 200g sizeStandard – Black, Blue, Glow in the Dark, Green, Grey, Orange, Purple, Red, Transparent, and WhiteHeat Color Changing Colors – Blue to White, Green to Yellow, Gray to White, and Purple to PinkBlack Light Reactive Colors – Fluorescent YellowGizmo Dorks has proudly released this filament with a net weight 200 grams. The smaller weight spool allows users to try the filament quality and color before committing to a larger 1 kilogram spool. It’s a perfect size to sample!

Buyer Guide 3D Printing Supplies

 Buying good 3D printers is a complicated process. There are dozens of factors to consider, and it’s almost impossible for a consumer to vet them on their own.

• Price. 3D printers are expensive. The entry-level models start at around US$500, while high-end models cost as much as US$1,500.
• Build Quality. 3D printers are made up of multiple components, and not all of them are created equal. Make sure you pick a model that includes quality components.
• Type of Filament. 3D printer filaments come in different materials. The most common ones include PLA (polylactic acid), ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), PETG (polyethylene terephthalate glycol), and PVA (polyvinyl alcohol).
• Resolution. 3D printers are more accurate now than ever, but not all of them come with mind-blowing resolutions. Some are capable of printing in resolutions as high as 10 microns (?m).
• Speed. 3D printers are fast. The top models can print objects at speeds of up to 220mm/s.
• Size. 3D printers come in different sizes, from desktop models to industrial-scale solutions. Look up the dimensions of each model.

 

How to choose 3D Printing Supplies

 When shopping for 3D printing supplies, it’s important to keep in mind a few key factors:

• What kind of plastic do you want? Deciding what kind of plastic you want your plastic to be printed with can have a huge impact on the price of the product.
• What type of print do you want? The number of layers, speed, and other features offered on your printer will likely influence what kind of plastic you choose.
• How big is the print? The size of the print will also impact the price of the product since larger prints require more materials.
• What type of printer do you have? When shopping online for 3D printing supplies, you will need to consider the type of printer you have.
•  What type of material do you need? The type of material you choose will also play a major role in determining how much your printing will cost.

How to maintain 3D Printing Supplies

 3D printing is a new technology that is changing the way people create and engineer new products.

• To clean the filament, use soap and water to wet your filament, then wipe it dry with a paper towel.
• To clean the nozzles, wipe them with a damp rag.
• To clean the build plate, wipe it with a clean, lint-free cloth.
• To clean the extruder, use compressed air.
• To clean the build plate, first, remove any building material or part from the plate. Then, use a paper towel or paper towel moistened with rubbing alcohol to wipe off the build plate.
• To clean the extruder, first, unplug the extruder from the 3D printer. Then, moisten a paper towel or paper towel with rubbing alcohol and wipe down the extruder.
• To clean the 3D printer, use compressed air to blow loose dust out of the printer.
• To clean the filament, use compressed air to blow loose dust out of the filament.
• To clean the nozzle, use compressed air to blow loose dust out of the nozzle.
• To clean the build plate, use compressed air to blow loose dust out of the build plate.
• To clean the extruder, use compressed air to blow loose dust out of the extruder.
• To clean the filament, unplug the extruder from the 3D printer and use compressed air to blow loose dust out of the filament.
• To clean the nozzle, unplug the nozzle from the 3D printer and use compressed air to blow loose dust out of the nozzle.
