Product description This is PLA 2 3d Printing Filament! The FilaCube Research & Development Department perfected unique, proprietary plastic 3D filament formulas in order to provide a consistent, reliable and hassle-free 3 D printing experience for all 3D printer and pen users. After FilaCube PLA and PLA Plus (PLA+, PLA pro) filaments, this is our second generation PLA filament with smooth finish surface, strong layer adhesion (bonding/binding), low shrinkage, low-to-no warping and less brittleness. FilaCube PLA 2 Main Features Consistent Diameter A high-speed laser micrometer is used to monitor the diameter variance of all our newly extruded filament in real time during production. With a measurement accuracy of 0.002mm, we can achieve a diameter tolerance of 0.03mm on our 1.75mm and 2.85mm filament. The dimensional consistency of our filament prevents clogs by inconsistent filament diameter and improves print quality by extruding the right amount of filament while printing. Anti-clog During our filament manufacturing process, the melted raw materials are filtered by two 100x100 stainless steel meshes. The aperture of the mesh is about 0.15mm, which prevent larger particles from going into the final filament products. Considering the 0.4mm or 0.35mm extruding nozzle is commonly used by 3D FFF printers, FilaCube filaments can reduce the chance of clogging your 3D printer nozzle significantly. PLA 2 Prints are tough! This picture shows a durability testing with a print. It was expected that the print would be completely crushed. After being run over repeatedly by a car of 3800 lbs, it's just got some of the sharp corners mushed and that's it. The model was printed in FilaCube PLA 2 filament, 10% infill, 2 walls, 0.2mm layer, 0.6 mm nozzle. FilaCube PLA 2 3D Filament Cheat Sheet You might notice that FilaCube PLA 2 filament is softer and more flexible than other brands. FilaCube PLA 2 filament is unique as it is engineered to achieve the best printing results. This also means that you might need to tune your printer settings first! Please read this Cheat Sheet first before you print with FilaCube PLA 2 filament for the first time or when you are experiencing issues like not sticking, stringing. Print Bed A clean and leveled bed is essential for a successful print. Use rubbing alcohol to clean the print bed for each print. Sometimes a mixture of PVA glue and water on a smooth print surface helps bed adhesion for multiple parts with a small surface area (especially where it meets the bed). Please note that most beds are not perfectly flat as they are warped or bent more or less. Beds that are heated unevenly underneath will worsen the issue. Blue tape, hairspray, a glue stick or a mixture of PVA glue and water can compensate for the leveling flaws. Please note that hairspray is flammable. Bed Temperature FilaCube PLA 2 doesn't need a heated bed. If a heated bed is used, bed temp should be lower than 50ยฐC. High temp might cause binding and warping issues. Some advanced users find that 60ยฐC for the first layer, then reducing to 50ยฐC results in good adhesion without warping/pulling up. Nozzle Temperature Recommended temp is 210ยฐC or 215ยฐC. If you have a nozzle jamming issue, please raise nozzle temp. Every printer and every filament brand is different! To get best print results, please calibrate your extruder/nozzle temperatures. You can download a temperature calibration tower off thingiverse, set the temperature range from 190ยฐC to 230ยฐC in steps of 5ยฐC, and print the calibration tower and choose the best temperature for your printer. Retraction Settings Retraction needs to be enabled for FilaCube PLA 2! Start with a retraction distance of 5mm and a speed of 25mm/s and tune it for your printer. In Cura, the retraction speed should be 25mm/s or lower. Wipe might also need to be enabled. If you are experiencing stringing, blobs, zits, etc., tune retraction, coasting, and wipe settings. First Layer Binding/Sticking A successful first layer is critical to a successful 3D print. Your first layer should stick to the bed every time. To achieve a successful first layer, cooling fan should be 30% or lower, print speed 35-50% of normal speed, and layer height 90% of normal layer height (to ensure that the melted filament has enough time to bind to the bed). Please observe the print of the first layer. If binding is observed to be poor in some areas, check that the areas are clean and that the bed is leveled. One or two coats of hairspray or a mixture of PVA glue and water is highly recommended if you are having a first layer binding issue. Cooling Fan From the second layer, 100% of cooling fan should be used. Revitalize & Store The performance of PLA 2 filament should not be affected for several months after the vacuum package is open. For better printing quality, we recommend storing your filament in a vacuum sealed bag with desiccant. If you are having bubbling, stringing etc. issues, the reason might be that the filament is damp. You can revitalize/dehydrate it in an oven at 60ยฐC - 80ยฐC (140 ยฐ F - 176ยฐF) for about one or two hours. How to Prevent Filament Crossing/Tangling? All FilaCube filaments are wounded by machines. Machines will not create crossing/tangling issues. When a new spool is opened, the free end of the filament is secured on the spool. Filament crossing/tangling occurs when the free end is not properly secured or uncoiled filament spills over the edge of the flange. 3D printer users should always secure the loose end of the filament to prevent filament crossing/tangling.

Make a Professional Print with PLA 2 Flament! Prints made from FilaCube PLA 2 filaments can tolerate sanding heat better than normal PLA. 3D printing professionals love PLA 2 filaments because great printed details from PLA 2 can save significant sanding and primer time! The pictures demonstrate how a hero shield was printed with FilaCube PLA 2 filament and post-processed to a final cosplay. After the shied was 3D printed, it was sanded with 80 grit, 120 grit, and 180 grit sand paper, respectively. After the sanded shield was filler primed, it was wet sanded smooth up to 1200 grit starting with 220 grit sand paper. Next the shield was painted in a gloss black lacquer, masked and painted silver, and then sealed. Then nail polish was used to paint the back of the gem and the gem was attached to the shield.

I would highly recommend this filament. Review: Great color match and prints reliably - A great color match. This is a good quality filament. I am able to print reliably which is important as I run my printers 24/7. Easy to use as you can likely use the default settings on your printer for PLA. I did on my Bambu P2S. Have not yet run it on any other printers. Decent value for the filament especially to get the color match. Filacube, is there a PETG and/or ASA version in the works?

Temperature is critical. Use a calibration tower.
YOUR FIRST PRINT WITH THIS FILAMENT MUST BE A TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION TOWER! This will save you much frustration. Search prusaprinters.org for "small quick temperature tower" to find one that consumes only 4 grams of filament. For a Prusa MK3S, the filament jams the extruder at 210ยฐ (standard PLA temperature) with loud clicking noises. It prints well using 225ยฐ for the first layer and 220ยฐ for remaining layers. Read the cheat sheet in the product description. It matters. Use the filament override settings in your slicer to set retraction speed to 25 mm/s, and the heat bed settings recommended in the cheat sheet (60ยฐ first layer, 50ยฐ for the rest) has worked well (so far) for my powder-coated steel sheet. When the print is done, the part loosens itself completely from the build plate as it cools. Self-adhesion seems to be excellent compared to other PLA, although build plate adhesion is noticeably weaker, but still seems good enough. I printed a large part and it had no visible warping to ruin the adhesion, so that helps. The color is a somewhat translucent white. The first layer actually looks transparent on the build plate. For printing lithophanes, I recommend printing thicker than usual to get decent contrast, due to the translucency of this filament. The finish has a nice even sheen to it.

Almost perfect
Wow this stuff is interesting! Once you get it to print properly, it creates a really high quality sheen/touch. This stuff does not feel nor look like regular PLA. Iโm extremely impressed, however, the first layer adhesion is the trickiest!! Iโve found that I can only use this filament for prints that do not have any supports on the build plate. I have no idea why, but every time I try to print a model that has supports, this filament craps out on the first layer of the tree supports. Makes no sense to me and severely limits where I can use it. Other than that, this filament is really beautiful and their selection of browns is so unique! Iโve been looking for grey-browns for a while and this company nailed it. I hope they come out with more colors in the future. Terracotta would be amazing!!

tall-ish long parts with a small footprint WILL warp
Pros: * finish is amazing! smmth and slippery * interlayer adhesion is very good * dimensionally stable * overall beutiful prints * made here in the USA * responsive tech support Cons: * Warping. Unintuitively, you need less than 40C bed temp, and even down to no bed heat at all to print well for large flat items. but that was not enough for items with a small footprint, but tall as the part in the pics. They still warped, on EZMat, tape, glu - you name it. * for those as in the pictures, I ended up using a standard PLA raft, pausing, changing filaments to Filacube for the part. this kept it down on the bed. I'm still experimenting, trying different sized brims, as I do not want to keep using different materials for these specific parts. And that's just it - part geometry plays a huge role in your results. I spent at least 48 hours trying to get these parts to print without warping, and I would have only done that if the finished parts printed in this material were stellar. And basically, they are if you can control the warp of certain geometries. Sumamry: I have not given up on this material. It's look and feel and strength are really nice. I think I just need to get my printing chops up a bit to leverage it.

Doesn't PLA well.
Hands-down the worst, most unreliable PLA I've worked with. The flesh-tone color is great - exactly what I was looking for - but this PLA is the most temperamental I've ever worked with. Printing on the Raise3D E2 printer, I have control over every setting to dial into the specific requirements of any type of filament. Most, I've found, are fairly forgiving allowing you to print within a range to get acceptable prints. FilaCube provides a "cheat sheet" for their filaments both on their product page and website, so I was encouraged that I'd be able to get decent prints with their filament. Unfortunately, I've been running about a 98% failure rate with their filament even when using the settings specified on their "cheat sheet." In fact, when using their suggested settings, it was pretty much a 100% failure rate. I have managed to get some successful prints - and by "successful" I only mean that the print completed - but most prints ended with only being partially completed. The prints that did complete and stringing, burrs, layer adhesion issues, and other imperfections that required a lot of manual finishing to make them just barely useable. To get this far, I found I had to print at a temperature and with parameters far outside the spec of the filament's "cheat sheet." Frustrated with this filament, but needing it for a project, I contacted their support to see if they could help better dial in the settings for this PLA. On the positive side, I was impressed that FilaCube actually *has* support for their filaments, however I can't say they were entirely helpful. After a couple of exchanges, the only recommendation provided was that the Flesh PLA needs to be printed at a temperature that is at least 30ยฐC higher than the recommended range on the "cheat sheet." At this point, I had already figured that much out, so the fact that no other insight could be provided was disappointing. Having burned through more than half the spool on wasted prints based on FilaCube's faulty print specifications, I was even more disappointed when I asked if a replacement spool could be provided only to have their support stop replying to my emails. Of course, I was now outside the return window, so the spool ended-up being a near total loss. Suffice to say, I cannot recommend FilaCube's PLA filament whatsoever. With a decade of experience in 3D printing, this is probably the most problematic filament I've found. I've never had a PLA be almost completely unprintable, let alone service that can't provide anything other than the most obvious solutions. In the end, I feel that FilaCube doesn't really stand by their product even when their CS agent admits their recommended specs are wrong. Will not use FilaCube filaments in any of my printers again.

Worked best with default Bambu settings
Prints beautifully. I read the setting recommendations and changed my printer (Banbu A1) to match and had a failed print due to poor bed adhesion. The next couple times I used this filament I left the default printer settings and had no issues aside from some minor hair-thin stringing that was easily picked away or hit with a flame to clear. This is slightly more expensive than some others but I needed this color specifically for a project so it was worth it to me. I would get this filament again, I found it really easy to work with and it prints very smooth.

Great Filament for Beginners and Pros alike.
This PLA2 is an awesome product!!!! Soft, sandable, dimensionally sharp, and it can be dropped, used in mechanical products, thrown in a washing machine, you name it. My company and I have torture tested every prototype we have made with this product. It can take the abuse. I have been very impressed with this white. It's color is very bright white. This product is incredibly forgiving, and only seemed to have print issues when I would make a mistake with setting up my printer. Prints really well at 198 - 200c with a 50 - 55c bed. While I have gone as hot as 210c on the nozzle with little issue, any hotter bed (60c+)and you will get elephants foot for sure. You could probably print on a cold bed with success too (and the right bed adhesive) though I always like to print with a little bed heat. This filament would be awesome for first time users and advanced users alike. It gives you plenty of room to play, is very forgiving, and gets you great results. I will definitely order again.
