| Filament | Key Trait | Typical Use-Case |
|---|---|---|
| SnapSpeed PLA Filament | Experience unmatched high-speed printing (up to 300 mm/s) with exceptional stability and optimized layer adhesion for ultra-smooth, fine-finished, and tougher-than-ever results, achieving precision at top speeds while printing effortlessly on most FDM printers at 190–230 °C with no fine-tuning required—and all sustainably produced for responsible use. | Rapid prototyping and production runs where throughput matters. |
| Matte PLA Filament | Print in rich, refined matte tones that stay classy even at high speeds—up to 300 mm/s—without compromising surface quality, while enjoying superior performance with no bubbles, no clogging, neat winding, and consistent diameter; supports remove easily to save post-processing time, and it's widely compatible with most FDM printers for effortless use by beginners and pros alike—all made from eco-friendly, recyclable materials for a greener print experience. | Display models, aesthetic parts, photography props, and architectural mock-ups. |
The filament diameter is 1.75 mm.
Yes, SnapSpeed PLA Filament and Matte PLA Filament are compatible with most FDM 3D printers that use 1.75 mm filament, regardless of the brand. Just make sure to follow the recommended temperature and printing speed settings for your specific machine.
A standard brass nozzle is generally sufficient for SnapSpeed PLA Filament. However, a hardened steel nozzle may be beneficial for prolonged high-speed printing, as it is more resistant to wear.
Each spool contains 1 kg (approximately 2.2 lbs) of filament.
Yes, PLA is generally considered a safe and non-toxic material for 3D printing. However, it’s important to print in a well-ventilated area and avoid directly inhaling any fumes generated during the printing process.
Snapmaker SnapSpeed PLA Filament and Matte PLA Filament are made from food-contact–grade PLA resin. However, the finished filament and printed objects are not officially certified as food-safe, as factors like printing conditions, added colorants, and post-processing may affect their safety. We recommend avoiding direct contact with food unless a certified food-safe coating is applied.
Both SnapSpeed PLA and Matte PLA are hygroscopic, meaning they absorb moisture from the air, which can lead to issues like stringing, bubbling, and poor layer adhesion. To maintain optimal print quality:
