Topic: PLA 3D Filament Safety Report

Hi all,

Below is an article written recently on the safety of PLA when used as a 3D printing filament. Would anyone here have any other points the can think of that could be added to the list off the top of their heads?

Also, did you find the article helpful. Any criticism is welcome and appreciated.

There is a poll you could take if you felt like sharing your opinion.

To me this is just more an advertisement for this brand of filament with information trying to convince the buyer that this brand is better than that brand. Every PLA and ABS startup has had a similar campaign and literature.

Printing since 2009 and still love it!
Anycubic 4MAX best $225 ever invested.
Voxelabs Proxima SLA. 6 inch 2k Mono LCD.
Anycubic Predator, massive Delta machine. 450 x 370 print envelope.

Re: PLA 3D Filament Safety Report

Hi carl_m1968,

You're right in saying that we advocate our own product in the report, that is because it's quality really does counteract some of the problems outlined in the report. We never compared our filament to others, that was not our aim in writing it.

We made an effort to provide a comprehensive and useful source of information after some of our customers requested it. I hope that the vast majority of the information covered was impartial and pertinent  regardless of where you buy your PLA from.

I was wondering if you could point me in the direction of any other filament companies who have similar reports so that we can compare?

Thanks for taking the time to reply.
