Filament Poly PLA 1.75 mm Grey 750 g — Polymaker PA06003

Polymaker PA06003 PolyMax™ PLA, 1.75 mm in grey on a 750 g spool, is a PLA filament designed for FDM/FFF 3D printers that accept 1.75 mm filament. It offers the familiar handling and low-warp characteristics of polylactic acid while incorporating PolyMax™ nano-reinforcement to improve ductility and mechanical performance compared with standard PLA. The spool contains 0.75 kg of material suitable for general-purpose prototyping, hobby modelling and everyday printing tasks.

Advantages

PolyMax™ PLA provides enhanced ductility compared with ordinary PLA, meaning prints are less likely to fracture and more likely to deform plastically under stress. It remains easy to print with typical PLA settings, exhibits low warping and good layer adhesion, and maintains the biodegradable base characteristics of polylactic acid. The grey colour gives neutral, versatile results for prototypes and finished parts.

Suitable for

• Functional prototypes and mechanical test pieces that benefit from improved toughness
• Hobby models, figurines and display parts with a neutral grey finish
• Everyday prints where easy printability and low warp are required

Key specifications

• Retraction (direct drive): 1 mm at ~20 mm/s; (Bowden/indirect drive): 3 mm at ~40 mm/s

How to use

Load the 1.75 mm PolyMax™ PLA filament into an FDM/FFF printer configured for that diameter. Set nozzle temperature within the recommended 190–230 °C range and a bed temperature between 25–60 °C depending on adhesion needs. Use a moderate print speed (40–60 mm/s) and keep part cooling (fan) on for improved detail and overhang performance. Choose retraction settings appropriate to your extruder type: around 1 mm/20 mm/s for direct drive systems and around 3 mm/40 mm/s for Bowden systems.

Usage recommendations

If filament has absorbed moisture, dry at 55 °C for approximately 6 hours before use. For applications requiring higher heat resistance than PLA’s ~60 °C glass transition, consider switching to a PETG-based filament.
