Monoprice PLA Plus+ 3D Printer Filament; 1.75mm; 1kg/spool - Magenta - Part# 33884

Polylactic acid or PLA�filament is another popular 3D printing material that is often compared against ABS. PLA is a biodegradable thermoplastic that is derived from renewable resources like cornstarch, sugar cane, tapioca roots, and potato starch.
This 3D print filament is more environment-friendly compared to other plastic materials. Due to this and its low-toxicity features, more and more prefer PLA over ABS. Furthermore, it is even one of the most popular 3D printing plastics in the 3D printing community.
In contrast to ABS, PLA material doesn�t produce toxic stink during printing, so it is safer to use within the homes and classrooms. Due to its safe and non-toxic nature, PLA is the best 3D printer filament for kids who love 3D printing.
Print Temperature Range: 180�C � 230�C
Applications: PLA has the ability to degrade into inoffensive lactic acid in the body and due to this property, it is used in medical suturing and surgical implants. Surgically implanted screws, pins, rods or mesh naturally breaks down in the body within 6 months to 2 years.
Aside from this, PLA is considered safe. Thus, it is also used in food packaging, candy wrappers, disposable tableware, disposable garments, hygiene product, and diapers to name a few.
