PLA 3D-printfilament 1,75 mm 1 kg — Flashforge Gembird 3DP-PLA-SK-01-RP, paars/rood

Gembird 3DP-PLA-SK-01-RP is a 1 kg spool of 1.75 mm PLA filament in purple and red tones. Made from polylactic acid, this filament has a stated density of 1210 kg/m³ and is formulated for compatibility with FDM/FFF 3D printers. The material prints at standard PLA temperature ranges and is intended for everyday modelling tasks such as detailed scale models, prototypes and decorative objects where color vibrancy and reliable layer adhesion are required.

Advantages

This PLA filament offers consistent diameter and smooth extrusion behaviour for stable printing performance. The bioplastic composition ensures low warping and reduced requirement for heated build plates compared with engineering plastics. The purple and red color blend provides visually striking results for single-color or multicolor projects, while adhesion between layers supports good detail retention on small features.

Suitable for

• Detailed scale models and figurines
• Prototypes and concept parts for visual evaluation
• Decorative items, home accessories and ornaments
• Educational and hobby printing projects

Key specifications

• Material: Polylactic acid (PLA)
• Diameter: 1.75 mm
• Spool weight: 1 kg
• Density: 1210 kg/m³
• Colors: Purple and Red
• Compatibility: Works with FDM/FFF printers accepting 1.75 mm filament

How to use

Load the 1.75 mm PLA filament into the printer according to the machine manufacturer’s instructions. Recommended nozzle temperatures for printing PLA typically range from 190°C to 220°C; start near the middle of this range and adjust based on extrusion quality and surface finish. A heated bed is optional but can be set between 40°C and 60°C to improve first layer adhesion. Use standard print speeds and cooling settings appropriate for PLA to achieve fine detail and consistent layer bonding. Store the filament spool in a dry environment or sealed container with desiccant when not in use to prevent moisture uptake.

Recommendations

For best results, calibrate extrusion multiplier and retraction settings on a small test print before producing large parts. When switching between colors, purge the hotend until the previous color is cleared. Avoid prolonged exposure to high humidity and direct sunlight to maintain filament performance.
