LW-PLA is a foaming filament that expands during printing, allowing lightweight prints with adjustable density.
- Higher nozzle temperatures increase foaming resulting in a bigger line width without changing the line width setting in you slicer
- Lower temperatures reduce foaming and create a smaller line width without changing the line width setting in you slicer
- Flow settings affect part density.
- Results depend on printer and application.
- Start with the recommended LW-PLA settings.
- Fine-tune temperature and flow.
allPHA is a biopolymer-based material. Printing requires experience and careful tuning. With proper settings and adhesion sprays, successful prints can be achieved.
- Download allPHA ready-to-go printing profiles
- Go to basic printer settings

allPHA breaks down in soil, backyard compost, and marine environments without leaving microplastics.
- Biodegradability depends on environment and conditions.
- Claims must be interpreted in context and for the intended application.

What's compared?
Our comparison covers critical mechanical and thermal properties, including:
- Tensile Strength: Measure the maximum stress a material can withstand before breaking.
- Elastic Modulus: Understand the stiffness of the material.
- Elongation at Break: Find out how much the material stretches before failure.
- Impact Strength (Notched Charpy Test): Learn about a filament’s durability under sudden force.
- Flexural Strength and Modulus: Assess the material’s performance under bending forces.
Additionally, we highlight print settings and temperature performance, such as:
- Heat Deflection and Vicat Softening Temperatures: Understand the filament’s resistance to heat.
- Optimal Printing and Bed Temperatures: Ensure smooth and consistent prints.
- Maximum Print Speeds and Fan Speeds: Get insights for efficient and precise prints.
