Polymaker PolyTerra PLA Marble Filament 1.75mm 1kg

• Matte Marble Finish - PolyTerra™ Marble PLA combines the incredible matte surface finish of PolyTerra™ PLA with speckles of black mineral to produce a unique stone effect. This special effect filament is the perfect choice for artistic creation, figure, statue and architectural printing, designed to mimic the appearance of marble.
• Optimized for Support - Polymaker have engineered PolyTerra™ Marble PLA with excellent support removal properties, enabling users to more easily break away support or rafts from the surface of their prints.
• Improved Ductility - Like PolyTerra™ PLA, the FBC formula of PolyTerra™ Marble PLA delivers improved ductility which is less brittle (Charpy Impact) in X-Y axis than standard PLA formulations.
• Bioplastic PLA Formula - PolyTerra™ PLA is a newly developed PLA material from Polymaker called Fully Bio Compound (FBC). It is a compound of high quality Ingeo PLA and compounded with naturally occurring elements. PLA is biodegradable under industrial composting conditions however the degradation rate is very slow in ambient temperatures. Polymakers FBC formula ​contains less PLA plastic to degrade making PolyTerra™ Marble PLA a more environmental friendly material.
• Eco-sustainable Packaging – Polymaker are commitment to helping combat plastic waste, as such PolyTerra™ Marble PLA comes on a fully recycled cardboard spool with recycled labels and box. Furthermore, Polymaker will plant one tree in Australia through the ONETREEPLANTED association for every locally sold spool of PolyTerra™ Marble PLA. 
• Compatibility In Mind - PolyTerra™ Marble PLA is compatible with a wide range of 3D printers. PolyTerra™ Marble PLA works well on most printing surface with a thin layer of glue stick applied, no heated bed is required but can sometimes be used at 40 - 50°C for better results (maximum 60°C).
• Uncompromised Quality - PolyTerra™ Marble PLA filament is made with the highest quality ingredients including Ingeo® from Natureworks; a high quality PLA material produced from rapidly renewable plant resources in the US. Combining Polymakers innovative R&D technologies, compounding and extrusion systems with Natureworks Ingeo® resins produces a reliable 3D printing filament to print beautiful and accurate models.

Suggested Applications

PolyTerra™ Marble PLA is a special effect material engineered to models with a unique stone effect. Marble PLA materials offer similar printer compatibility as PLA but if used extensively they may require additional considerations (see Specifications & FAQ tab).

This PolyTerra™ Marble PLA filament has been used to print a wide range of fun and exciting projects including:

• Stone-like statues and figurines.
• Gifts for kids.
• Homewares.
• Custom trophies.

PolyTerra™ Marble PLA is based on the same FBC formula as PolyTerra™ PLA and as such displays similar physical properties. Compared to regular PLA materials, PolyTerra™ Marble PLA is softer, less brittle and more ductile. Ductility describes how a material breaks, if you flex the filament in your hands a ductile material is more likely to bend gradually than a sudden snap. Although PolyTerra™ Marble PLA isn't intended as a high strength material, its ductility can offer advantages for quite a few end-use applications.

Like PolyTerra™ PLA,  PolyTerra™ Marble PLA exhibits excellent support removal properties, enabling users to more easily break away support or rafts from the surface of their prints. This easy break away of supports correlates with lower inter-layer strength in the z-axis, so additional care is required for thin or delicate features which have been printed vertically.
