Protopasta Matt Fibre Mahogany Wood HTPLA, 1,75 mm / 500 g

Protopasta's HTPLA is a tough PLA material that prints similarly easily to standard PLA but is much more powerful and cost-effective. With a practical heat resistance of more than 140°C after heat treatment, parts printed with it retain their strength and shape, allowing them to withstand much higher temperatures.

Matt Fibre HTPLA

This material is based on Matte Fiber HTPLA but features fine gold beads and black “pops of colour” that give it warmth and a wood-like texture.

Danger! Similar to wood, the material does not bend very much before breaking. Matt Fibre Wood absorbs moisture like wood and should be printed at the lowest possible temperature to avoid stringing, over-extrusion and jamming.

Tips:

• Compared to standard HTPLA, Matt Fibre HTPLA has better dimensional stability.
• The plant fibres improve the adhesion of adhesives and coatings.
• While Carbon Fibre HTPLA requires a wear-resistant nozzle, Matt Fibre HTPLA does not require any special nozzles or equipment for its processing.
• This material is not overly brittle, but is stiff, causing it to break under excessive stress.
• The Matt Fibre HTPLA can be printed on unheated print beds.
