Easy Everyday Printing
PLA is one of the easiest materials to print successfully.
It is well suited to users who want:
- Reliable first layers
- Low warping
- Good dimensional accuracy
- Clean surface quality
- Straightforward slicer setup
- Consistent everyday results
For most PLA printing, an enclosed printer is not required.
Attractive Gold Finish
The Gold variation is ideal for prints where appearance is important.
It works particularly well for:
- Trophies
- Awards
- Decorative models
- Figurines
- Ornaments
- Signs and lettering
- Display pieces
- Gift items
- Cosplay accessories
- Product prototypes
- Branded promotional items
- Products for resale
The finish gives printed models a more premium appearance without requiring painting for many decorative applications.
Good Dimensional Accuracy
PLA is a rigid material with relatively low shrinkage, making it an excellent choice for models where accuracy and shape retention are important.
It is useful for:
- Prototypes
- Educational models
- Fixtures
- Organisers
- Display components
- Architectural models
- Light-duty functional parts
Low Warping
One of PLA’s biggest advantages is its low tendency to warp compared with materials such as ABS.
This makes it easier to print:
- Larger flat parts
- Decorative panels
- Signs
- Models with broad bases
- Multi-hour prints
A correctly prepared build plate and well-calibrated first layer will usually provide reliable adhesion.
Good Surface Quality
PLA generally produces clean surfaces and sharp details, making it an excellent choice for detailed visual models.
It is especially useful for:
- Figurines
- Miniatures
- Architectural models
- Display pieces
- Decorative parts
- Lettering
- Signs
- Product mock-ups
PLA vs PETG
| Feature | PLA | PETG |
|---|---|---|
| Ease of Printing | Very Easy | Easy |
| Surface Quality | Excellent | Very Good |
| Rigidity | High | Moderate to High |
| Toughness | Moderate | Higher |
| Warping | Very Low | Low |
| Heat Resistance | Lower | Better |
| Decorative Printing | Excellent | Very Good |
| Functional Parts | Good | Excellent |
PLA is generally the better choice for easy printing and decorative models, while PETG is preferable where extra toughness and functional durability are required.
PLA vs ABS
| Feature | PLA | ABS |
|---|---|---|
| Ease of Printing | Very Easy | More Demanding |
| Warping | Very Low | Higher |
| Enclosure Required | No | Recommended |
| Surface Quality | Excellent | Very Good |
| Heat Resistance | Lower | Higher |
| Odour During Printing | Low | Higher |
| Decorative Parts | Excellent | Good |
PLA is far easier to print, while ABS is better suited to higher-temperature and more demanding functional applications.
Printing Recommendations
For best results:
- Use a suitable PLA profile in your slicer
- Ensure the build plate is clean
- Calibrate the first layer carefully
- Use adequate part cooling
- Adjust temperature and speed according to your printer
- Store the filament in a dry environment
Keep Your PLA Dry
PLA can absorb moisture from the surrounding air over time.
Moist filament may cause:
- Popping or crackling
- Small bubbles
- Increased stringing
- Rough surfaces
- Inconsistent extrusion
- Reduced print quality
Store unused filament in a sealed container or vacuum bag with desiccant.
