Filament

PLA

Polylactic acid, commonly referred to as PLA, is made from natural materials such as corn starch. It’s the most widely-used filament in the 3D printing industry. PLA isn’t a plastic known for its strength compared with PETG or ABS, and it’s brittle and stiff compared with TPU. But it’s easy to print, does not need an enclosure or a direct drive extruder. It’s cheap, widely accessible and it can be printed more quickly than most other filament.

As for Geeetech PLA, the perfect settings in Cura slicer is shown as below: Nozzle temperature: 180-220 °C Bed temperature: 60-70 °C Print speed: 60-100 mm/s Initial layer height: 0.3 mm Initial layer print speed: 20 mm/s Travel Speed: At least 120 mm/s Retraction distance: 6 mm for Bowden setups, 2-3 mm for direct drive setups Retraction speed: 45 mm/s Cooling fan speed:100% Initial layer cooling speed: 0% Build plate adhesion: Skirt or Brim
