Pros
- Reduce the weight of printed parts up to 65% compared to regular PLA.
- Control extruded volume of material by regulating printing temperature. At around 230C LW-PLA starts foaming and can increase its volume by nearly 3 times.
- With one spool LW-PLA you can print as much as with 3 regular spools of PLA, due to the 3x lower material multiplier / flow.
- Easy to cut, trim, sand and takes paint really well.
- LW-PLA (Natural,Black,Gray Silver & Red) hides layer lines really well.
Cons
- Material oozes on travelmoves, this is normal and can’t be reduced completely.
- Color will turn lighter when material is at maximum foamed state as opposed to non-foamed state which shows a deeper and richer color.
