Whether you’re prototyping, teaching, or producing batches, this filament delivers the performance you need—backed by local manufacturing and support.

✅ Why choose our Basic PLA?

• Proudly made in Canada — Lower lead times, better supply chain control, and support for Canadian manufacturing.
• Everyday reliability — Engineered for standard FDM/FFF machines; print straight from the spool with minimal fuss.
• Consistent quality — Tight diameter tolerances and stable extrusion keep prints clean and repeatable.
• Great value — A cost-effective option for high-volume prints, classrooms, and makers who want dependable results without premium pricing.

🎯 Ideal for:

• Hobbyists and makers looking for a reliable go-to material.
• Educational labs, schools and maker spaces needing consistent performance on many machines.
• Print service bureaus or in-house production runs where throughput and cost matter.
• First-time users who want a forgiving filament that still delivers crisp results.

🛠️ Recommended print settings

• Nozzle temperature: ~ 190-220 °C
• Bed temperature: ~ 50-70 °C (or unheated if your machine supports it)
• Cooling fan: 100% after first layer
• Use a clean, leveled build surface for best adhesion and finish.

📋 Filament specifications

• Diameter: 1.75 mm (± 0.05 mm)
• Weight: 1 kg spool
• Material: 100% PLA — no impact-modifiers, no PBAT
• Manufactured in Canada under strict quality controls
• Vacuum-sealed with desiccant to protect from moisture prior to use

💡 Tips for best performance

• If prints show stringing or poor layer adhesion, try lowering the nozzle temperature by ~5 °C and increase the retraction slightly.
• For fine feature prints (< 0.1 mm layer height), ensure your machine is well calibrated and the bed is properly leveled.
• Store your spool in a dry environment when not in use—moisture-absorbed filament can cause bubbles and poor finish.

🧾 Summary

If you’re looking for a reliable, Canadian-made PLA filament that works right out of the box and doesn’t compromise on value, this Basic PLA is the smart choice. Exceptional printability, local manufacturing, and everyday performance — all in one spool.
