Volcano PLA 150C is a next generation bio performance material engineered for high demand applications. Designed to exceed the mechanical strength and thermal resistance of many traditional oil based polymers, it sets a new standard in sustainable engineering grade filaments. As the name suggests, Volcano PLA 150C features an outstanding long term heat resistance of 150 °C, achieved without annealing or post processing, for low weight bearing parts. This makes Volcano PLA 150C ideal for functional prototypes and end use components exposed to elevated temperatures. Manufactured from 100% renewable resources.
Volcano PLA 150C is fully compostable and environmentally responsible. It delivers an exceptional balance of rigidity, high impact resistance, and superior heat tolerance. All while maintaining the printability and ease of use of standard PLA. No specialized equipment is required to achieve high quality results. Choose Volcano PLA 150C for professional grade 3D printing applications that demand performance, reliability, and sustainability.

*) Above displayed settings are meant as guidance to find your optimal print settings. These ranges in settings should work for most printers, but please do feel free to experiment outside these ranges if you think it is suitable for your printer. There are a lot of different type of printers, hot-ends and printer offsets that it is extremely difficult to give an overall one-size-fits-all setting.
*) Flow rate depends on printing speed and type of hotend used. For full metal hotends a lower flow rate is recommended and for high printing speeds a high(er) flow rate is recommended.

DIY colors
Volcano PLA 150C comes in various “DIY colors” that are inspired by iconic tooling colors of tools that can be found in your local and online Do It Yourself (DIY) stores. These colors are developed for everyone who wants to enhance their tooling collection with custom 3D printed accessories. Volcano PLA 150C and its DIY colors is not in any way affiliated with or sponsored by any tooling brand associated with these DIY colors.
Buildplate adhesion
For optimal buildplate adhesion we recommend to set your buildplate temperature at 45°C - 65°C and to use our EasyFix Adhesive – Nr. I.
