Prusament PLA Galaxy Black
About PLA
PLA is the easiest material to print. It is inexpensive and suitable for beginners and advanced users alike. It is capable of printing detailed models, figures, and quick prototypes that don’t require increased mechanical, chemical, or temperature resistance.
PLA is the most widely used filament, known for its great looks and ease of printing. It is an excellent choice for large objects because of its low thermal expansion, which results in minimal warping. At the same time, its low melting temperature makes it suitable for small parts as well.
While PLA may not be as tough or durable as some advanced materials, its versatility makes it ideal for a range of applications, including large objects, miniatures, concept models, and prototypes that don’t need to be extremely durable.

Beginners tips & tricks
Popular among both beginners and advanced users
PLA is the easiest-to-print Prusa makes. It’s reliable and it doesn’t require any print preparations or difficult post-processing methods. If you’re new to 3D printing, it’s best to start with PLA before using other materials.
Sanding
When post-processing PLA, it’s better to use wet sanding. Without water, you’ll quickly start heating the plastic by friction, it will melt locally and deform. Also, without water, the sanding material would clog easily.
Gluing
PLA can be glued with many types of glue. It is recommended to use superglue for most of the parts. Certain PLA filaments may be also glued using acetone, but it strongly depends on the various additives and colours used.
Notes
This PLA is made in-house by Prusa Research.
1.75mm filament is manufactured with precision of ± 0.02 mm (±0.03 for blends)
Before printing, make sure the surface of the heatbed is clean as described in the 3D Printing Handbook.
If you choose a 2kg spool, please download and print the 2kg spool holder as it will not fit the standard spool holder.
To dry the filament, please follow the instructions.
