Purple PLA Pro is an easy-to-print material, easy to process (finishing), rigid, and not suitable for outdoor conditions (unless sufficiently thick finishing materials are applied). It is the most common material for printing due to its ease of use and low cost.
It is a thermoplastic polymer based on corn — the most widely used material in the industry, environmentally friendly and biodegradable, and the preferred material because it allows easier post-processing.
PLA is rigid but brittle. In outdoor conditions, corners may deform depending on thickness and temperature; a full automotive-grade coating can make it suitable for outdoor use.
The additives in PLA PRO / PLA+ / Tough PLA make the material about 10°C more heat-resistant and less brittle compared to standard PLA.
Printing Temperature – PLA Purple
Nozzle temperature: 195–220°C
Bed temperature: 60°C
Recommended nozzle working temperature: 210°C
If using a non-steel nozzle, increase by ~10°C
For very large prints (~100 hours), add glue to the bed and reduce bed temperature
