About rPLA Blend

Filacorp rPLA Blend has a manufacturing tolerance of ±0.05mm and is made out of various 100% postindustrial waste materials, blending them into a unique filament.

Our rPLA Blend has mechanical properties which differ to regular PLA, with it being slightly more brittle, rubbery and hygroscopic.

General FAQs

Is Filacorp rPLA Biodegradable?

Our Filacorp rPLA, just like all other PLA, does not Biodegrade if placed in your backyard. It would only biodegrade under very specific condition found in industrial composting facilities.

To combat this, we chose to recycled our PLA into 100% rPLA that maintains excellent printability while upholding environmental responsibility, marking a significant advancement in enhancing the end-of-life cycle of our PLA within the industry.

Best Printing Settings?

Nozzle Temperature: 190˚C - 210˚C
Heated Bed Temperature: 40˚C - 55˚C (Can be used on a cold bed too)
Printing Speed: 30mm/s - 70mm/s
Fan: On

rPLA Blend is slightly more rubbery than other types of PLA, it also offers excessive adhesion to the build plate.

Should I dry my Filament?

While drying your filament before use is helpful, it's not necessary, especially if there are no signs of moisture during printing.

However, if you do encounter moisture-related issues while printing, we suggest considering drying the filament to ensure optimal performance.

This flexible approach allows you to achieve high-quality printing results while maintaining convenience.

Just a reminder: be cautious not to overheat your filament during drying, as this could cause problems. The ideal drying settings are 55°C for 6 hours.

rPLA Blend Residue after Printing?

Filacorp rPLA may sometimes leave residue during 3D printing due to its adhesion properties.

If residue does occur, heating the print bed to 70°C and using isopropyl alcohol on a cloth to gently rub the affected area can help in removal.

While isopropyl alcohol can be used to clean the print bed, it's not typically necessary to remove residue specifically left by Filacorp rPLA prints. Alternatively, hot water and soap may be used for effective cleaning.

rPLA Blend Filament Stuck to the Bed?

Several factors may cause your print to adhere too strongly to the bed. The most common issue arises when the bed temperature exceeds 55˚C. Another common reason could be an excessively low z-offset.

If you encounter either of these issues, there's no need to panic. Simply heat up your bed to approximately 80-90˚C and gently pry away the filament stuck to the bed, taking care not to scratch the build plate.

If any filament residue remains, set a print of 1-2 layers covering the entire plate, allow it to cool, and then remove the print. This should effectively eliminate any remaining filament.

If this method proves ineffective, consider cleaning the plate with warm water and some soap, or alternatively, use 90% isopropyl alcohol (IPA) if available.
