In the ever-evolving world of 3D printing, the quest for materials that balance performance, aesthetics, and sustainability is ongoing. That's why we decided to launch our rPLA Satin collection, a revolutionary product that not only upholds the eco-friendly attributes of recycled PLA (rPLA) but also elevates the quality of your prints with its premium colour range and superior finishes.

Sustainability Meets Aesthetics

rPLA Satin filament retains all the eco-friendly benefits of its companion, rPLA Prime, being derived from recycled PLA materials. This commitment to sustainability ensures that your 3D printing projects contribute to reducing plastic waste and promoting a circular economy. However, rPLA Satin takes things a step further by offering an enhanced aesthetic appeal, thanks to its carefully curated premium colour range.

Superior Finishing with rPLA Satin

One of the standout features of rPLA Satin filament is its ability to produce prints with a smooth, satin-like finish. This is achieved through a refined manufacturing process that ensures consistent quality and colour throughout the filament. The result is a print surface that is not only visually appealing but also tactilely pleasing, with reduced visibility of layer lines and an overall polished appearance.

Print Performance and Compatibility

In terms of printing performance, rPLA Satin is identical to rPLA Prime, ensuring a hassle-free printing experience. It is compatible with most standard 3D printers and requires no special adjustments or settings, making it accessible to both beginners and experienced users. The filament maintains excellent adhesion properties, minimising warping and ensuring reliable prints every time. However, for shinier finishes we recommend using higher printing temperatures:

  • Nozzle Temperature

    225 (± 10 °C)

  • Build Plate Temperature

    60 (± 5 °C)

  • Fan Speed

    100%

Applications and Use Cases

The combination of sustainability and superior finish makes rPLA Satin filament ideal for a wide range of applications. Whether you are creating prototypes, decorative items, fashion accessories, or functional parts, this filament provides the perfect balance of durability and aesthetics. Its premium colour range allows for greater creative expression, making your projects stand out with a professional and refined look.

Tips for Optimal Results

  • Bed Temperature

    Keep the bed temperature around 60°C to ensure optimal adhesion

  • Printing Speed

    Maintain a moderate printing speed between 40-500mm/s to balance detail and print time.

  • Cooling

    Use proper cooling settings to enhance the surface finish and reduce stringing.

  • Storage

    Store the filament in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect print quality.
