MakerBot - PLA 4043D Plastic - 1kg spool, 1.75mm

Polylactic Acid (PLA) is an extremely awesome polymer for many reasons. First, it’s bio-friendly, as it’s made from corn, which is a renewable resource. Second, it’s biodegradable, which means it will break down in a landfill. Third, it’s clear in color, which makes for gorgeous crystalline prints that absolutely scream for LEDs. Last but not least, it has an extremely low shrinkage factor, which means it resists warping, even at very large print sizes.

PLA is an experimental filament. Please read our Wiki page for further discussion of the differences between ABS and PLA. PLA Wiki

The particular variant of PLA that we use is 4043D. If you're interested in the technical details, download the PLA 40403D datasheet here.
