PLA Pro – Print Settings
PLA Pro is an improved version of classic PLA, offering higher strength, better toughness, and increased heat resistance. This material is suitable for printing mechanically stressed parts while maintaining the ease of printing typical for PLA. To achieve optimal results, it is essential to set the printing parameters correctly in the slicer software. For example, in OrcaSlicer https://orca-slicer.com/ for the Bambu Lab A1 Mini printer with a 0.4 mm nozzle.
Printing Temperature
Select the Printer Profile
These recommendations are for all BambuLab printers, as the most widely used printer. Professional and extra powerful printers need specific settings, especially max flow. For these cases please do not hesitate to contact us support.
1. Select the Printer Profile
- In the top left corner, select Bambu Lap printer
- In the Bed type field, choose the appropriate bed type, such as Textured PEI Plate.
2. Edit Filament Settings
Click on the pencil icon next to the filament name (in our case, Filamentree PLA) to open the filament settings.
Edit Settings
PLA Pro requires a higher printing temperature than standard PLA, making it crucial to find the optimal temperature for your filament.
📌 Where to set it?
1. Open OrcaSlicer
2. Go to Filament Settings
3. Set Nozzle Temperature between 210 - 235°C
Bed Temperature
For Textured PEI Plate:
- First layer: 65°C
- Other layers: 65°C
The temperature is specifically set for the Textured PEI Plate, as it ensures excellent adhesion for PLA Pro at 65°C. For other build plates (e.g., Cool Plate, Smooth Plate), the temperature remains 0°C because they are not used in this configuration.
Max Volumetric Speed
In OrcaSlicer settings, Max Volumetric Speed limits the maximum volume of filament that can be extruded through the nozzle per second. This is a critical parameter that affects print quality and helps avoid issues with filament feeding.
What does this parameter mean?
- Max Volumetric Speed (MVS): Limits the rate of filament extrusion in mm³/s.
- If the value is exceeded, the extruder may struggle to feed the filament, which can lead to:
- Under-extrusion (insufficient material is deposited).
- Decreased surface quality and detail precision.
- Missed steps or damage to the extruder’s feed gears.
Cooling for specific layer
Setting the No cooling for the first parameter is critically important to ensure:
- Reliable adhesion of the model to the print bed: PLA Pro, like any other thermoplastic, requires strong adhesion to the print bed for successful printing. If cooling is enabled on the first layers, it may lead to insufficient material bonding and the model detaching from the print surface.
- Avoidance of deformation or delamination of the base layers: Setting it to 1 layers provides provides enough time for the foundation to stabilize, preventing warping or delamination before cooling starts.
- A smooth transition to the cooling mode, which helps maintain high print quality throughout the process: Gradual cooling ensures that layers adhere properly and prevents stress-related defects, preserving the overall print quality.
This setting is standard for PLA Pro, as it accounts for its thermal properties and provides optimal conditions for stable and reliable printing.
Part cooling fan
- Minimum layer time: 80 seconds (with fan speed at 50%)
Fan at 50%: This is the optimal speed for gradual cooling without excessive drying of the material.
- Maximum layer time: 8 seconds (with fan speed at 100%)
Advantage: 100% fan speed helps quickly cool large layers and ensures their stability before the next layer is applied.
Always on:
✔️ Keep fan always on
✔️ Slow printing down for better layer cooling
✔️ Force cooling for overhangs and bridges
Always off:
✖️ Don’t slow down outer walls
With the right slicer settings and optimized printing conditions, PLA Pro offers exceptional layer adhesion, increased impact resistance, and enhanced durability, making it a reliable choice for demanding 3D printing applications. Thanks to its improved mechanical properties, PLA Pro minimizes the risk of layer separation and ensures stable prints with sharp details and smooth surfaces. Proper cooling control, along with the correct print bed temperature, further enhances adhesion, reducing the chances of warping or model detachment.
By following these recommendations, you can achieve strong, high-quality 3D prints with PLA Pro, making it an excellent option for functional prototypes, mechanical parts, and high-detail models that require extra strength and stability.
