Print it right
The numbers that make PLA behave — plus the tricks the box label doesn't tell you about layer adhesion and clean retraction.
Nozzle
200–220 °C
Bed
25–60 °C
Speed
30–70 mm/s
Fan
100 % after first layer
Drying
50 °C for 4 h if stored open
- The forgiving one — first-layer squish and a clean bed are all it asks.
- Great for high-detail models: cools fast, bridges well.
Printer check: enclosure — not needed · hardened nozzle — not needed.

The honest bit
Every material has tradeoffs. Here's PLA's full scorecard — the good, the meh, and the wrong-tool-for-the-job.

- Biodegradable base (PLA is plant-derived)
Worth knowing
- Brittle compared to PLA+
- Softens around 55–60 °C
