Are you looking to buy Polymaker LW-PLA in Australia?

PolyLite™ LW-PLA is a special foamed PLA filament designed to print with similar settings as regular PLA but with half the weight (0.6g/cm3). Its low density makes PolyLite™ LW-PLA an excellent choice for printing light weight parts including fuselages, wing parts and other lightweight components for RC planes. Due to the foaming technology, this LW-PLA also prints with a very matte surface finish which hides the layers for a wide range of aesthetic applications.

NOTE: DO NOT RESPOOL THIS FILAMENT. 
Pre-foamed PLA filaments can be quite stiff and more brittle than regular PLA so it is recommended to take extra care and make sure your filament guide system is smooth and with minimal bends.”

Product Features:

Low Density with Stable Foaming - PolyLite™ LW-PLA is a lightweight PLA filament formulated with Polymaker's Stabilized Foaming™ technology to produce pre-foamed filament whose foam structure can survive the printing process and be inherited by the printed parts. PolyLite™ LW-PLA enables 3D printing of lightweight models with a consistent low density (0.6g/cm3), even when printing at low temperatures (~190˚C).

Unlike other LW-PLA filaments that actively foam during the printing process depending on temperature, PolyLite™ LW-PLA's stabilized foaming technology offers significant advantages. Compensating for the varying foaming rate that occurs with competitor LW-PLA usually requires significant tuning, but with Polymakers stabilized foaming PLA the density and extrusion width are consistent regardless of temperature. This not only reduces the difficulty in tuning Polymakers LW-PLA, but also gives more freedom to choose the right nozzle temperature for print quality without worrying about how it changes the material density. 

Matte Finish - The Stabilized Foaming™ technology in PolyLite™ LW-PLA delivers an incredible matte surface finish which makes it a unique material choice for aesthetic applications such as architectural models, figurines, gaming dioramas, decoration or lifestyle parts.

Compatibility / Jam-Free™ - PolyLite™ LW-PLA is compatible with a wide range of 3D printers and is manufactured with Polymakers  Jam-Free™ technology which leads to excellent printing quality with zero risk of nozzle jams caused by heat creep [1]. PolyLite™ LW-PLA works well with many common printing surfaces and a heated bed isn't strictly required but may be recommended with some build plate surfaces or geometries for better results (up to 60°C).

Uncompromised Quality - PolyLite™ LW-PLA filament is a PLA-blend made with the highest quality ingredients including Ingeo® from Natureworks. Natureworks is a world-leading biopolymers supplier based in the USA with a portfolio of high quality raw PLA materials produced from rapidly renewable plant resources. 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

 

Print Settings

  • Nozzle Temperature: 190˚C – 210˚C
  • Printing Speed: 30mm/s – 50mm/s
  • Bed Temperature: 25˚C – 60˚C
  • Bed Surface: Glass with glue, blue tape, BuilTak®
  • Cooling Fan: ON
  • The ideal retraction settings vary from printer to printer.
    Direct Drive: Retraction distance of 3mm with retraction speed of 40mm/s
    Bowden: Retraction distance of 6mm with retraction speed of 40-60mm/s
  • Like other foam PLA filaments, PolyLite™ LW-PLA can tend to have more stringing than regular PLA which is relatively easy to remove with tweezers or a scalpel. To reduce stringing during printing we recommend to adjust the retraction settings, lower the extrusion temperature and increase the print head travel speed.
  • Pre-foamed PLA filaments can be quite stiff and more brittle than regular PLA so it is recommended to take extra care and make sure your filament guide system is smooth and with minimal bends.

LW-PLA (light weight PLA) is a a cutting-edge category of PLA filaments specifically engineered for RC planes and other applications that require a lightweight and easy to print material. The low density is achieved through the use of a foam structure, which offers a unique balance of strength and weight for 3D printing. Combined with an attractive matte surface finish, PolyLite™ LW-PLA lends itself to a wide range of applications including:

  • Aerodynamic RC plane wings
  • RC-plane fuselages
  • Cosplay props
  • Weight critical parts in research applications
  • Other lightweight components.
  • Architectural models.
  • Homewares.

There are two types of LW-PLA; active foaming and passive foaming. Active foaming occurs during the printing process and the foaming rate is controlled by the printer settings such as temperature and flow rate. However, this process can be challenging to achieve both lightweight results and high dimensional accuracy in the final product. It often necessitates the use of high temperatures, around 250 degrees, to achieve lightweight prints, but this can also lead to defects such as stringing and blobs. Passive foaming filaments, like PolyLite™ LW-PLA are manufactured as a pre-foamed filament whose foam structure can survive the printing process and be inherited by the printed parts. This results in a consistent low density regardless of temperature, giving you the flexibility to select the optimal temperature for your desired part quality without having to worry about the effect on density. This enables lightweight 3D printing even at lower temperatures of around 190 degrees. Typically, the lower the temperature, the higher the quality of the final print, making this LW-PLA an ideal solution for those looking for a balance of light weight and high-quality prints.

Ouch!! Update: Mold inside?
Update: I reduced my three star review to one star due to finding black specs all over lid inside my second jar with some black specks on the top pads. Mold? Mildew? I don't know have mold in my cabinets and I keep this in my top vanity drawer which is on its own wall nowhere near the tub or shower. I was so disgusted I threw out the whole jar plus my third one. I hate to write a bad review on a product that is such a good value and so needed in this market. Maybe it's just a one-off but either way I will not be repurchasing due to the soapy, stinging pads - mold or no mold. My conscience is telling me to warn people. Original review: They sting like there is micellar water in them? Plus soap. They are very sudsy and make you feel like you have to rinse your eyes before they dry out, which defeats the purpose. They do work well to get mascara off but so does soap. Sadly will not replace the old Almay oil-free remover pads which I have used for years. Have not found a good replacement for my dry, sensitive eyes. I will have to use them on other parts of my face but not my eyes.

My last batch has changed - be aware!
I have used these pads for several years now. They are generally very good and do the trick. I don't even look at other products because they are so good. However, in this last order, they no longer have a smooth side and a bumpy side. They always had the different texture which helped in using them. I agree they are a little small which I have gotten used to, but now with both sides being smooth, they are much harder to use to wipe. Plus you don't have the advantage of the texture. This is a dowgrade for sure.

Oil and fragrance free for sensitive skin
Oil free which is good for contact lens wearers. Relatively thick textured material so I can use just one pad for both eyes. Ok for sensitive skin with no fragrance. I've used these for years and the quality has remained consistent despite the reasonable price.

A 5-star product is now barely 2-stars. Shame!
I have used these makeup remover pads for years as I wear contacts and have sensitive skin around my eyes. However, the last 3-pack I ordered (Feb 2026), the pad is noticeably sub-par. They are much thinner, there is no quilted texture on one side, and they roll up immediately when you start to rub your eyes with them. In addition, I have to use 4-5 pads to get everything off vs. previously I could easily just use one on each eye. Obviously I will go through them much faster and every time I use them, I get frustrated by how bad the quality is now. Another product victim to shrinkflation and using cheaper materials, but charging the same amount or more than before. Do they do the job removing the makeup - yes. Do they do so without burning my eyes or leaving an oily residue - yes. But knowing how great they used to be, I can only give the current product 2 stars.

Excellent product!
I have used this product for years but since retired much less. However when I actually needed it again I couldn't find it anywhere and when I did buying just one was pretty expensive. So I decided to wait until the price dropped...but it never happened. I never even thought of trying Amazon but I did and got an amazing deal of a 3 pack at a very reasonable price. The oil is rich, soothing and so emollient and cleans my brows and eye lashes perfectly! I keep one in my fridge which is especially soothing during warm summer days and helps to reduce under eye puffiness. Accolades to Amazon...you never let me down!
