Prusament PLA Recycled is Prusas own in-house made filament with ±0.05mm manufacturing tolerance. 100 % of the material consists of recycled Prusament PLA materials, so every batch has a different color. You can inspect the parameters of every spool we made at prusament.com.

About Prusament PLA Recycled

Prusament PLA Recycled is their our own in-house filament. 100 % of the material consists of recycled Prusament PLA materials, so every batch has a different color. Overall, PLA is the easiest material to print, it is inexpensive and suitable (not only) for beginners. It is capable of printing detailed models, figures, and quick prototypes that don’t require high 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.

Basic Attributes

Easy to print

Suitable for prints of any size

Hard

Low warping

Different color with every batch

Brittle

Poor high-temperature resistance

Difficult to sand (hard material, melts easily)

Beginners tips & tricks

Popular among both beginners and advanced users

PLA is the easiest-to-print filament we make. 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. We recommend using superglue for most of the parts. Certain PLA filaments may be also glued using acetone, however, it strongly depends on the various additives and colors used.

Notes

For our recycled filaments, Prusa had its carbon footprint calculated. You can find more about our sustainability activities in their sustainability report.

The 2kg spool won't fit the standard spoolholder, please download and print the 2kg spoolholder.

This Prusament PLA Recycled is made in-house by Prusa Polymers.

1.75 mm filament is manufactured with precision of +- 0.05 mm

Before printing, make sure the surface of heatbed is clean as described in 3D Printing Handbook.

To dry the filament, please follow the instructions in our article.
