3D printing filament Polymaker Polylactic Acid (PLA) White 1.75 mm 750 g

Polymaker Polylactic Acid (PLA) White 1.75 mm 750 g is a ready-to-use 3D printing filament supplied on a 750 g spool and designed for FDM/FFF printers that accept 1.75 mm filament. This PLA variant, branded PolyMax™ PLA, uses nano-reinforcement technology to increase ductility compared with standard PLA grades, providing improved resistance to brittle fracture while maintaining the ease of printing and dimensional stability expected from PLA materials.

Advantages

The reinforced PolyMax™ PLA formulation bends before breaking, offering greater ductility and improved mechanical performance compared with conventional PLA. It prints across a broad temperature window (190–230 °C) and adheres well to common build surfaces without aggressive warping. The filament is suitable for quick prototyping and general-purpose prints where straightforward setup, consistent layer adhesion and predictable dimensional results are required.

Suitable for

• Concept models and prototypes
• Functional parts with moderate mechanical stress
• Visual models, display pieces and educational prints
• General-purpose prints where printability and dimensional stability are priorities

Key specifications

• Material: Polylactic acid (PLA) with nano-reinforcement (PolyMax™ PLA)
• Color: White
• Diameter: 1.75 mm
• Spool weight: 750 g
• Recommended printing temperature: 190–230 °C
• Recommended heated bed: 25–60 °C (can be printed on unheated beds in many cases)
• Printing speed: typical 40–60 mm/s
• Cooling: part fan ON for improved bridging and surface finish
• Glass transition (approx.): ~60 °C
• Drying (if moist): 55 °C for 6 hours

How to use

Load the 1.75 mm filament into any compatible FDM/FFF extruder and set the nozzle temperature between 190 and 230 °C depending on part detail and printer characteristics. Use a heated bed set between 25 and 60 °C if available; many prints adhere sufficiently without heating. Enable part cooling fan for better bridging and surface quality. For bowden (indirect) extruders, set retraction to about 3 mm at 40 mm/s; for direct drive systems use about 1 mm retraction at 20 mm/s. Adjust print speed toward 40–60 mm/s to balance quality and production time.

Usage recommendations

Store the spool in a dry environment or sealed container with desiccant to prevent moisture absorption. If the filament has absorbed moisture, dry at 55 °C for approximately 6 hours before printing. For applications needing higher heat resistance, consider switching to a PETG variant; for standard PolyMax™ PLA parts expect a glass transition temperature near 60 °C and plan part use accordingly.
