Welcome to Cairns Technology Hub. We are introducing a premium 1.75 mm filament is manufactured with a precision of +- 0.02 mm. Prusament PLA Prusa Army Green 1kg
Prusament PLA is Prusa Research (Czech Republic) in-house made Filament.

You can inspect parameters of every spool we made at prusament.com. Check the sample spool!
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT?
MANUFACTURED IN-HOUSE BY JOSEF PRUSA
Prusa was not satisfied with the quality of filaments on the market. So they decided to make our own! Prusa Research is the only 3D printer manufacturer with its own filament production.
PREMIUM-GRADE MATERIALS AND THOROUGH TESTING
The whole manufacturing process is closely monitored and tested – string diameter, color consistency, and mechanical properties – to make sure that every spool is perfect.
± 0.02 MM MANUFACTURING PRECISION
We believe the industry standard of 0.05 mm isn’t sufficient for perfect 3D printing. Instead, we guarantee ±0.02mm precision and highly-consistent colors in our filaments.
HIGH QUALITY YOU CAN CHECK YOURSELF
We are the only manufacturer that gives customers the option to fully inspect parameters of every filament spool. Just scan a QR code on the spool to see all details online (check the sample spool).

PLA melts at a relatively low temperature of about 175 degrees Celsius. Unlike so-called thermoset materials, PLA can be heated past its melting point multiple times with very little degradation. It’s a hard material, but that also means it’s somewhat brittle, and once it breaks, it likes to shatter. Only this material is proven for 50 microns layer height. Prusament PLA Prusa Army Green
However, PLA is not a perfect material and, just like every other plastic, has some disadvantages. The low melting temperature also means low-temperature resistance. Parts start to lose mechanical strength at temperatures over 60 °C.
The combination of being both biodegradable and having low-temperature resistance means that it’s not ideal for outdoor use, not to mention low UV-resistance. Also, PLA is only soluble in chemicals like chloroform or hot benzene. So when connecting multiple pieces, you’re better off using just glue.
Even though PLA is biodegradable, and the material on its own is food safe, we do not suggest to repeatedly drink or eat from your 3D prints. Because of the small fractures on the print surface, bacteria can build up in there over time. You can prevent this by applying a food-safe coating. When post-processing PLA, it’s better to use wet sanding. Without water you’ll quickly start heating the plastic by friction, it will melt locally and make it hard to keep sanding.
