PLA Blaster Natural – Transparent Purity and Technical Reliability
PLA Blaster Natural is a premium filament for users who value not only strength and performance but also visual neutrality and partial transparency. This clear, pigment-free PLA+ highlights the natural appearance of the material and is ideal for applications that require clean lines, visible internal structures, or visual content inspection.
Based on PLA Plus, it provides enhanced toughness, excellent layer adhesion, and consistent print quality—just what you need for technical or experimental projects.
Key Benefits:
- Natural, Semi-Transparent Look: Free of color pigments, offering a subtle translucency—perfect for visual analysis, lit elements, or minimalist models.
- Improved Mechanical Strength: Thanks to PLA+ composition, the filament is tougher and suitable for functional parts under moderate stress.
- Reliable Printing Experience: Minimal warping, strong layer bonding, and consistent output.
- Wide Compatibility: Suitable for all FDM/FFF 3D printers with a standard 0.4 mm nozzle.
- Eco-Friendly Material: Made from biodegradable, non-toxic resources—sustainable and safe.
Applications:
- Functional Parts with Visual Access: Great for tanks, covers, tubes, sensors, or containers where internal contents need to be visible.
- Prototypes and Visual Concepts: Allows observation of geometry, structure, and light flow through the model.
- Illuminated Prints and Diffusers: Ideal for lamps, LED covers, and translucent elements.
- Educational Projects: Perfect for classroom demonstrations where internal features must be shown clearly.
- All-Purpose Neutral Filament: A great default option for those who prefer a clean, natural look without added color.
PLA Blaster Natural is a smart choice for creators looking to combine functionality, clarity, and aesthetics. With its transparency and reliable performance, it’s ideal for technical prints, prototypes, educational models, or detailed analysis projects.

PLA Blaster – Print Settings
PLA Blaster is an improved version of classic PLA, offering higher strength, better durability, and excellent mechanical properties. To achieve optimal printing results, it is important to set the 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 Blaster requires a higher printing temperature than standard PLA, so fine-tuning the temperature settings is key to unlocking its full strength and durability.
📌 Where to set it?
1. Open OrcaSlicer
2. Go to Filament Settings
3. Set Nozzle Temperature between 230 - 270°C
Bed Temperature
For Textured PEI Plate:
- First layer: 70°C
- Other layers: 70°C
The temperature is specifically set for the Textured PEI Plate as it provides excellent adhesion for PLA Blaster at 70°C. For other types of plates (e.g., Cool Plate, Smooth Plate), the temperature remains at 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:
- Strong adhesion to the print bed: Like other high-performance PLA variants, PLA Blaster requires a solid foundation to prevent warping or detachment. Disabling cooling for the first layers allows proper fusion with the build surface.
- Prevention of warping or delamination: Keeping the cooling off for the first 3 layers gives the base layers time to stabilize, reducing the risk of deformation.
- A smooth transition to full cooling mode: This gradual cooling approach helps maintain consistent layer bonding and enhances overall print quality.
This setting is standard for PLA Blaster, as it takes into account its thermal properties and ensures 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
Using the correct printing parameters for PLA Blaster is essential for achieving high-quality results. As an enhanced version of standard PLA, PLA Blaster requires precise settings to fully optimize its advanced properties. By following the recommended settings, you can take full advantage of its increased strength, durability, and excellent print quality, ensuring reliable and visually appealing prints.
