colorFabb PLA/PHA Green Transparent 2.85mm

The colorFabb testlab features a wide range of popular FDM / FFF based 3D printers. colorFabb continuously test their products on a range of 3D printers to check the quality of the materials produced and to develop exciting new materials.

The following printers are used in the colorFabb lab: Ultimaker Original, Ultimaker Original Dual Extrusion, Ultimaker 2, Makerbot Replicator 2, Delta Tower (E3D hot-end), Felix 20, Leapfrog Creator, BEETHEFIRST.

As such, colorFabb PLA / PHA can be used for most commercially available leading brands 3D FDM/FFF printers. Please check your specific printer set up, specification and operation of your 3D printer for compatibility.

• Recommended extruder temperature: 195-220°C

• Recommended platform temperature: 50-60°C (if available, heated bed not required)

• Recommended print speed: 40 - 100mm/s 

colorFabb use laser measurement systems to check the diameter of their filament real time during production. It’s measured over 1000 times per second and helps guarantee that each spool of colorFabb 3D printing filament is produced within tolerance. colorFabb can guarantee 0.05mm +/- on both 2.85mm and 1.75mm colorFabb 3D printing filament.

No, a heated bed is not necessary for printing in colorFabb PLA / PHA filaments. PLA / PHA performs well on both heated and non-heated build platforms. For those printing on a cold build platform masking tape works well as the rough surface provides additional adhesion for the first layer.

We would recommend using your normal adhesion, as you would for any other print, for example a little glue stick on an Ultimaker 2.

Yes, colorFabb works well in prints as support material and can be removed once the print is complete.
