Polymaker HT-PLA-GF Army Green Filament 1.75mm 1Kg

Polymaker HT-PLA-GF is a high-temperature glass fiber reinforced filament that combines the ease of printing PLA with the high stability of engineering compounds. Thanks to the glass fiber content, it offers exceptional stiffness, low shrinkage, and high dimensional stability. Components remain stable up to 130°C after annealing, making them suitable for applications that are mechanically and thermally demanding. 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 accustomed with PLA: surfaces can be easily primed, painted, or coated, making the filament ideal for model making, cosplay, tabletop, or custom vehicle parts. HT-PLA-GF thus opens up possibilities that would otherwise only be achievable with technical materials such as ABS or ASA – but without their disadvantages such as limited color selection, complex processing, or higher printing requirements. Due to the glass fiber reinforcement, the material is abrasive to nozzles, so the use of a hardened nozzle is explicitly recommended. In processing, there is a low odor development, stronger than PLA, but significantly more pleasant than ASA or ABS.

Properties:

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

Recommended Print Settings:

Print 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 anneal in the oven for about 30 minutes at 100 °C. Then allow it to cool slowly in the oven to avoid warping.
