What is HTPLA?

Protopasta HTPLA is a revolutionary filament that offers superior temperature resistance compared to standard PLA. By undergoing a heat treatment process, the material structure changes from amorphous to crystalline, allowing it to maintain useful properties at higher temperatures. This means you can expand the useful range of the material, ensuring better performance and durability in your prints. To get started, all you need is an oven, aluminum foil, a flat wood block or cutting board, and your HTPLA filament.

Print Settings and Heat Treating

Achieve optimal results with the Bobbi's Purple Iris HTPLA by following the recommended print settings. Keep the print rate at about 3 +/- 1 cu mm/s volume rate for a smooth printing experience. Adjust your layer thickness, extrusion width, and speed settings to match your printer's capabilities. Once printed, heat treat your parts to enhance their properties. The translucent materials will turn opaque, indicating successful heat treatment. With this high-quality filament, you can create stunning prints that stand out from the crowd.
