  • description

The popularity of PLA stems from the fact that it is easy to print, doesn’t cause bad odours and is environmentally friendly. However, generic PLA compositions have their cons: in broad terms, PLA compositions we most frequently find on today’s market exhibit low distortion temperatures, high friction coefficients, and a low melt flow index.

These attributes translate into a more rigid and delicate 3D print which is harder to extrude and easier to fracture. To overcome some of PLA’s issues and with the objective of improving 3D printing results, NatureWorks, backed by years of experience in the polymer industry, created the PLA Ingeo 3D850 resin.

PLA 850. First and foremost, the melt flow index is higher than ABS plastic. A high melt flow index often means a lower friction coefficient. This high melt flow index thus yields an advantage because extruder motors have to do less work to extrude the same length of filament (print faster). Also, a higher melt flow index leads to a cooler extruder operating temperatures and less wear on parts. Another advantage is a lowered probability of extruder gear slippage or stripping of the filament when backpressure occurs in the hot end.

When looking at a broader range of 3D printer filaments, it’s typical to see that materials with high impact resistances have conversely low tensile strengths (or vice-versa). The chart is shown below (my3dmatter) illustrates how different filaments compare when looking at their tensile strength and impact resistance. We can see that a trade-off between tensile strength and impact resistance is apparent, and it’s rare to see filaments that exhibit both properties at the same time.

Next, let’s take a closer look at 850’s flexural modulus (i.e. the materials tendency to bend under stress).

So what does having a high flexural modulus mean for 3D printing?

Printing structures that are long and thin will have less deflection or bend under pressure, thus eliminating the need for supports or thick rafts.

One of the most significant issue of PLA is its low overhang temperature. The HDT (heat distortion temperature) is the temperature at which a polymeric material deforms under pressure. Historically, when prints required high thermal resistance, ABS was the best plastic material available. Unlike other PLA, the PLA 3D 850 material has an HDT between 80-90 ° C (100% filled piece, crystallized at 110 ° C / 15 min), which means that it will undergo minimal (or zero) deformation below that temperature . When compared with the ABS or PLA standard, with their values ​​of 85 ° C and 50 ° C respectively, it must be recognized that thermal resistance is a property that has greatly improved.

From a usage perspective, filaments made with 3D850 resin feature other enhancements such as excellent bonding with print surfaces, a feature that is significantly improving first layer quality and minimizing the risk of warping. Next, shrinkage of parts during and after printing is also non-existent and virtually no odour is present during extrusion.

In conclusion, 850 shows that the trade-off between tensile and impact strengths can be avoided, allowing very resistant PLA prints. Our PLA Super Premium Series is designed to offer tough and thermally resistant prints, analogous to ABS but without its disadvantages.

I have really tried to like Sakata filament but after many rolls in Black, white and grey I have stopped buying it as I have had so many failures. I will not buy more and do not recommend it unless you are a sadist as so many other filaments such as the Standard, Euro etc. are so much more easy to dial in and print reliably (in fact excellent) why mess with this stuff? This filament is tough but so difficult to print with. I find that supports are very difficult to remove if not impossible at times. I have never had a filament plug my nozzles as often as this brand. It does not play nice with other brands as it requires a higher temperature to print (which causes deterioration of fine detail) and it never seems to purge properly if you change filament type leading to a clogged nozzle every time after using Sakata. Even straight up Sakata will simply pug the nozzle eventually like a rock. I am not a newbie to 3D printing and have experience with many cheaper and premium brands. After a few hundred dollars out the window in filament I will not buy it again. Buy the Euro filament or standard, you will be much happier with your results and not waste as much time.

Great stuff. I am new o FDM 3D printing. Last year I bought an Anycubic Mega S for making fixtures and jigs for work and also a few domestic projects we had in mind. Here's a catch basin designed for our hanging bird feeder with a radial clamp (3 parts printed with Sakata 850 black) and the basin itself (850 grey). The clamp was printed at .2mm layers with 25% infill and the basin at .3 with 15% infill. basin diameter is about 197mm and 57mm high, taking up about294 grams of filament. Print temp was 230 and bed temp 64 for all four parts. I haven't done any finer resolution (layer height) prints with it yet but this full print bed project has given me the newbie confidence that it will work out okay. I've bought more colours. Other projects have worked out fine so I am likely gonna stick with this stuff for all PLA prints on this machine.

First time trying this one, gave very good results, will buy other colors of the same brand.
Al B.
Printed like I hoped it would.
Serge C.
Very easy tp print

This filament turned out really nice for wha i used it for (the bottom half of a dust cyclone). Cant wait to try it on other projects. Thank you! Fast delivery too.
John M.
Great consistency, great quality. Runs at your standard PLA temp range and I didn't have any issues with clogging or excess stringing. Will absolutely be buying more as the price, quality and delivery time were all top notch!
