Polymaker HT-PLA-GF White Filament 1.75mm 1Kg

Polymaker HT-PLA-GF is a glass fiber reinforced high-temperature filament that combines the easy printability of PLA with the high stability of engineering compounds. Thanks to the glass fiber content, it offers exceptional stiffness, low shrinkage, and high dimensional stability. Parts remain form-stable up to 130°C after annealing, making it suitable for applications that are subjected to high mechanical and thermal stress. Despite the reinforcement, the material can be reliably printed and achieves print speeds of up to 350 mm/s. Particularly interesting is the good paintability as is common with PLA: surfaces can be easily primed, painted, or decorated, making the filament ideal for model making as well as for cosplay, tabletop, or custom vehicle parts. This allows HT-PLA-GF to offer possibilities that would otherwise only be achievable with engineering materials like ABS or ASA – but without their drawbacks such as limited color options, complicated processing, or higher printing requirements. Due to the glass fiber reinforcement, the material is abrasive on nozzles, so the use of a hardened nozzle is expressly recommended. During processing, there is a slight odor development, stronger than PLA, but significantly more pleasant than with ASA or ABS.

Properties:

• HT-PLA-GF offers high temperature resistance and remains stable up to 130°C after annealing.
• Glass fiber reinforcement ensures exceptional stiffness and stability.
• Very low shrinkage for dimensionally accurate and precise parts.
• High layer adhesion and reliable printability.
• Low odor development, more pleasant than ASA or ABS.
• Paintability as known from PLA, ideal for model making, tabletop, and cosplay.
• High print speed of up to 350 mm/s possible.
• Abrasive due to glass fiber – hardened nozzle recommended.

Recommended Printing Parameters:

• Printing temperature: 210–230 °C, recommended 230 °C
• Heated bed: 25–60 °C, recommended 50 °C
• Fan: 100 %
• Print speed: up to 350 mm/s

Annealing: Place the finished part on a flat, heat-resistant surface and temper in the oven for about 30 minutes at 100 °C. Then allow to cool slowly in the oven to avoid warping.
