SainSmart - LightWeight PLA Filament - 1.75mm 1KG for RC Planes & Drones
Advanced LW-PLA Filament Overview
LW-PLA (Lightweight PLA) is a cutting-edge 3D printing material engineered specifically for RC aircraft, drones, and cosplay builds. Compared to standard PLA filaments, printing with this LW-PLA grants your model planes a lighter wing load and a significantly reduced stall speed. By striking an ideal balance between durability and minimal weight, it boosts the flight performance and efficiency of your projects.
The specialized expanding capability of this filament ensures exceptional layer adhesion, superior impact resistance, and easy post-print repairability. Combined with its ultra-low density characteristics, this material stands out as the ultimate selection for RC planes, drone components, and lightweight prop design.
Key Features
Ultra Lightweight
Utilizing innovative active foaming technology, this LW-PLA filament produces low-density, featherweight parts. With an impressive printed density of just 0.54 g/cm³, it delivers a massive weight reduction for your designs. This lighter weight lowers wing loads and stall speeds, directly translating to superior agility and flight times for RC planes and drones.
Active Foaming Technology
The temperature-controlled expansion of this filament enables you to adjust your print settings for up to 2X the material flow. Achieving a maximum foaming rate of 220%, a single spool can effectively output the volume of 2.2 standard PLA rolls. This structural expansion allows you to complete large-scale prints using much less material.
Seamless Matte Finish
Objects printed with this material exhibit an exceptionally smooth, matte surface texture where layer lines become almost imperceptible. Additionally, this micro-porous surface structure significantly improves paint and primer adhesion, allowing your creative finishing touches to hold flawlessly.
Fully Customizable Expansion Effects
The active foaming process triggers at extrusion temperatures above 210°C. By precisely fine-tuning the hotend temperature, print speed, and flow rate during your slicing setup, you can customize the expansion rate across different zones of a single model to match your specific density requirements.
This LW-PLA ensures highly reliable interlayer bonding, giving you absolute control over the expansion ratio, structural weight, and overall mechanical strength of your finished models.
