Printer Profiles

Can you anneal HT-PLA-GF?

Yes you can anneal HT-PLA-GF for better heat stability and better HDT properties of similar to ABS.

What is High Temperature Stability?

The ability to withstand temperatures without deformation while not under a load.

Is it hygroscopic?

Similar hygroscopic properties to PLA.

Is it UV / Weather resistance?

Similar to generic PLA, no material-modification for UV/weather resistance, we need further testing.

What is the shrinkage rate?

Very minimal, similar to generic PLA.

Is it dishwasher safe? (Food safety, water steam)

This depends on the 3D print and how sturdy it is. If you have thin walls they may be subject to warping due to the harsher environment.

Can it print with PLA settings?

Yes! This material prints great with generic PLA settings.

Is it abrasive?

Polymaker™ HT-PLA-GF has glass fibers so you will need a hardened nozzle.

Can you print with a smaller nozzle?

Yes, you can use a smaller nozzle, like 0.2mm nozzle.

What is the highest speed you can print at?

HT-PLA-GF can print up to 350mm/s.

Does all the color has the same heat resistance?

Yes, all of the colors and variations.

Is it biodegradable?

The resin matrix of HT-PLA contains only a small amount of non-biodegradable components. Therefore, we consider it to be a material with good biodegradability similar to polylactic acid.

What is in HT-PLA?

HT-PLA-GF is a kind of PLA-based multiphase composites, it's main structure is PLA materials.

Is it strong?

The layer adhesion is fairly low, not recommended for single wall prints.

Does it has fumes when printing?

Similar to standard PLA.

Can I anneal HT-PLA-GF in boiling water?

Yes you can, however if you have hard water with high mineral content, boiling your part can cause the minerals to form a white dust coasting on the surface.
