PolyLite PLA – Sparkle Dark Blue – PolyMaker

Polymaker PolyLite™ Galaxy PLA is a high quality shiny PLA filament with a galaxy effect in the night sky.

• High Quality Polymaker PLA.
• Eye-catching galactic effect.
• Easy to print.
• Dark colour with light reflective shiny particles.
• High hardness, tensile strength and interlaminar adhesion.
• Jam-free™ technology improves compatibility with all-metal heaters.

What is Jam-Free™ technology?
Polymaker’s Jam-Free™ technology increases the thermal resistance of the filament itself (not the printed part) to 140˚C.
This prevents any clogging issues due to heat creep at the hot end.
Thermal creep is a process in which heat spreads unevenly throughout the hot end, softens the filament before it enters the melting chamber, and clogs the filament, causing it to expand at the cold end.
Increasing the heat resistance of the filament from 60˚C to 140˚C ensures a jam-free experience.
(Note that the printed part will have the same heat resistance as regular PLA: ~60˚C)

How strong is PolyLite™ PLA?

PolyLite™ PLA is based on high molecular weight PLA from Natureworks, making it one of the toughest PLA materials on the market.
You can check the Young’s modulus and flexural strength data of PolyLite™ PLA in its TDS, which represents its stiffness, and compare it to other materials in our portfolio.
