The Anycubic PLA Basic Filament 1kg in Grey is a dependable everyday filament for FDM 3D printer users who want consistent, clean results without the fuss. Neatly wound on a 1kg spool, it feeds smoothly through your printer for precise extrusion and bubble-free prints, reducing the risk of jams or failed runs. The grey colour delivers a neutral, versatile finish that suits prototypes, functional parts, and decorative prints alike. Manufactured to print safely and sustainably, it is a straightforward, reliable choice for anyone looking to keep their FDM printer running at its best.
This 1kg spool of Anycubic PLA Basic Filament in Grey combines ease of use with high-quality output. Designed specifically for FDM printers using 1.75mm filament, it ensures smooth feeding and minimal clogging thanks to its precise extrusion capabilities. The vibrant grey shade (#B1B3B3 ) offers a professional look ideal for both functional prototyping and creative projects. Whether you are printing small components or larger models, this filament provides the stability required for successful prints every time.
The product code for this item is AHPLGE-10 . It is engineered to work seamlessly with standard FDM machines while maintaining a consistent diameter of 1.75mm. Users often find that drying the filament before use yields even better results, ensuring the material remains free from moisture which can cause bubbling or layer separation during printing.
Key Printing Specifications
To get the best performance from this grey PLA filament, consider these recommended settings and physical properties:
Beyond basic printing parameters, the material boasts impressive mechanical properties. It features a melting point temperature of 166 degrees Celsius and a density of 1.24 g/cm cubed. The tensile strength measures around 48±5 Mpa, while the bending strength reaches 90±3 MPa, making it suitable for durable functional parts. Additional characteristics include a Vicat softening temperature of 55 degrees Celsius and a heat deflection temperature of 54 degrees Celsius at 0.45MPa.
The filament also excels in impact resistance with an Izod impact strength (X-Y) of 22±2 kJ/m squared. For users requiring specific flow rates, the maximum volume speed is rated at 12 mm cubed per second. The melt index falls between 4 and 10 g/10 min when tested at 190 degrees Celsius under a 2.16 kg load.
Drying and Storage Recommendations
To maintain the integrity of the filament, it is recommended to dry out the spool before use if it has been exposed to humidity. The ideal drying condition involves keeping the material at 45-50 degrees Celsius for a duration of 6 to 8 hours. This process helps prevent common printing defects associated with moisture absorption.
