Recommended Printing Parameters
-
Nozzle: ~190–220 °C
-
Bed Temperature: ~50–70 °C (or unheated if your machine allows)
-
Fan Speed: 100% after the first layer
- Use a clean, well-leveled print surface for optimal adhesion and finish.
Tips for Better Performance
- If stringing or insufficient layer adhesion appears, lower the nozzle temperature by about 5 °C and slightly increase retraction.
- For fine prints (layer height < 0.1 mm), ensure your machine is well-calibrated and the bed is perfectly level.
- Store the spool in a dry environment when not in use — moisture can cause bubbles and a less crisp finish.
In summary — if you're looking for a reliable, Canadian-made PLA filament that works right out of the box and offers excellent value, this Basic PLA is the smart choice. Everyday performance, local manufacturing, and uncompromising printing, all in one spool.
