SA Filament PLA Filament 1kg Clear - SAF-PLA-107

3D Printing is quickly growing in popularity across the world with new makers jumping onboard and searching for fun filaments to experiment with. PLA (Polylactic Acid) is a biodegradable thermoplastic which is derived from renewable organic resources such as sugarcane and corn starch. This makes PLA Filament a surprisingly eco-friendly plastic to print with when compared to other petrochemical-based filament options, and the wide range of colours and additives makes it one of the most versatile ranges too.PLA Filament is by far the most commonly used by beginners.

These 1kg spools of SA Filament PLA Filament are extruded and spooled right here in South Africa, making them a great option if you want to support locally made. While they don’t have quite the same colour choice as many other brands do (yet!), SA Filament has created an affordable and decent alternative to many of the other PLA filament options we stock. Easy printing and a bright range of colours are what make PLA filament ranges a fantastic choice for all makers with whacky prints in mind.

When it comes to working with transparent filament, Makers have unique options to make their 3D projects even more interesting. While resin printing has astonishing crystal clear results, some deliberate post-processing may be needed to allow an FDM print to truly seem transparent. But even without those touches, Clear SA Filament tends to shine (literally) when used with LED lighting for cool electronic projects. Projects that don’t need to be vibrant and ultra-colourful can benefit from a clear filament that offers a different kind of visual effect for various applications from simple little containers to LED diffusers and many great ideas.
