Description
Natureworks PLA Pellets 3D850 1.0 kg
The 3D850 PLA engineered specifically for 3D printing purposes. This advanced formulation exhibits accelerated crystallization compared to other PLA compounds, enabling faster printing speeds while minimizing distortion. Moreover, its enhanced heat resistance makes it ideal for producing 3D prints that can withstand higher temperatures.
One remarkable feature of 3D850 is its exceptional clarity, devoid of the yellowed undertone often seen in other PLA compounds. This exceptional clarity makes it perfect for creating transparent and translucent filaments, opening up new possibilities for your projects.
Like traditional PLA, 3D850 boasts several advantages. It does not require a heated bed for printing, ensuring ease of use. Additionally, it is derived from renewable sources and remains non-toxic, prioritizing both sustainability and safety.
Rest assured, 3D850 PLA is proudly manufactured in the United States by Natureworks, a renowned global leader in the development of bio-based materials.

Annealing (Heat Treating) Instructions
-
Preparing the part: Ensure that your 3D printed part is clean and free from any support structures or debris.
-
Oven setup: Set up an oven or a heat source capable of reaching the required annealing temperature. Check the manufacturer’s guidelines or the material datasheet to determine the recommended annealing temperature for 3D850 filament. Typically, for 3D850, the annealing temperature ranges between 80 to 110 degrees Celsius (176 to 230 degrees Fahrenheit).
-
Heat the part: Place the 3D printed part on a heat-resistant tray or a ceramic plate and put it inside the oven. Make sure the part is adequately supported and does not deform during the process.
-
Annealing process: Gradually increase the oven temperature to the recommended annealing temperature for 3D850. This should be done slowly to avoid any sudden temperature changes that could cause warping or cracking of the part. You can increase the temperature in increments of 10-15 degrees Celsius (18-27 degrees Fahrenheit) every 10-15 minutes until the desired annealing temperature is reached.
-
Soak at annealing temperature: Once the oven reaches the recommended annealing temperature, allow the part to soak at that temperature for a sufficient amount of time. The recommended soaking time can vary depending on the size and geometry of the part, but a general guideline is to keep it at the annealing temperature for at least 30 minutes to an hour.
-
Cooling process: After the soaking period, slowly cool down the part by reducing the oven temperature gradually. Avoid rapid cooling, as it may introduce stress or deformations in the part. You can turn off the oven and let it cool naturally inside or open the oven door slightly to facilitate cooling while ensuring a gradual temperature decrease.
-
Post-annealing inspection: Once the part has cooled down to room temperature, inspect it for any changes in dimensions, surface quality, or structural integrity. Annealing can help relieve internal stresses and improve the part’s mechanical properties, but it’s essential to verify if it meets your specific requirements.
