Ø 1.75 mm ±0.02 · Polylactide (PLA)
How to print it
Default settings for a 0.4 mm nozzle. Pre-made profiles for popular printers are available in the downloadable files.
It softens at around 55 °C, so a print left in a car during the summer will lose its shape. It is rigid but brittle: when the walls are thin, it breaks rather than bending. Use PET-G for functional parts, ABS+ for heat resistance, and ASA+ for outdoor applications.
30 colors, 3 weights
We dye the yarn in-house, so the shade is consistent from batch to batch. When you click on a spool, you'll see all its variants, along with their index and EAN code.
The colors on the screen may differ from the actual colors.
Transition mix: the same quality at a lower price
When the color changes along the thread, a section forms where the color transitions from one to another. Its specifications are the same as any other spool, because we measure it the same way, and the color is unique. We sell it at the price of white and black, rather than grinding it down.
Properties and test standards
Typical values for LUME PLA+, along with the standard used to measure them, so they can be compared with any other material.
| Property | Value | Method |
|---|---|---|
| Density | 1.24 g/cm³ | ISO 1183 |
| Softening temperature (HDT 0.45 MPa) | 55 °C | ISO 75 |
| Tensile strength (filament) | 57 MPa | ISO 527 |
| Shore D hardness | 81 | - |
| Moisture Absorption (24 h) | 0.13% | - |
| Interlayer adhesion | 17 MPa | - |
The same part, two print directions

Compare with other materials
Each line has a different use. See how the others differ from PLA+.
LUME PET-G
It bends rather than breaks and withstands most chemicals. Good for housings, mounts and parts under load.

LUME ABS+ High Speed
It retains its dimensions at temperatures up to approximately 90 °C, and after printing, it can be sanded and glued. For technical applications.
