The Anycubic PLA Basic Filament in Light Grey is a dependable choice for FDM 3D printing enthusiasts seeking consistent results. This 1kg spool of 1.75mm filament is wound neatly to ensure smooth, tangle-free feeding into your printer, minimizing jams and material waste. The soft light grey finish provides a clean, professional look suitable for functional prototypes, detailed models, and creative projects alike. With precise extrusion capabilities that produce bubble-free output, this consumable supports a wide range of printing temperatures and speeds, making it an ideal everyday filament for makers who value reliability.
This Anycubic PLA Basic Filament (Part Number AHPLLE-10 ) delivers high-quality prints with minimal effort. The spool contains 1kg of durable PLA material in a versatile light grey shade, perfect for general-purpose printing tasks. Designed for compatibility with standard FDM printers using 1.75mm filament, it ensures consistent diameter and flow rates. Users will appreciate the smooth extrusion that reduces clogs, while the recommended drying conditions help maintain optimal print quality over time.
Key Benefits
Choosing this filament means prioritizing ease of use without sacrificing quality. The material is widely supported across most FDM 3D printers and offers a balanced mix of strength and flexibility for various applications. Whether you are creating visual models or functional parts, the light grey color provides a neutral base that looks great in any lighting condition.
Printing Specifications
To achieve the best results with this filament, specific thermal conditions are recommended. The optimal printing temperature ranges between 190 and 230 degrees Celsius, while a heated bed set to 55-56 degrees Celsius ensures strong first-layer adhesion. For cooling, an 8-second interval is suggested after each layer, allowing the part to solidify properly before moving on.
Technical Data
The physical properties of this filament are engineered to provide structural integrity for your prints. With a density of 1.24 g/cm, the material offers a good balance between weight and strength. The tensile strength in the X-Y plane is approximately 48±5 Mpa, while the Z-axis strength stands at 26±1 MPa, ensuring reliable layer bonding. The melting point occurs around 166 degrees C, with a heat deflection temperature of 54 degrees C under load.
What's in the Box
Each package includes a single unit of Anycubic PLA Basic Filament weighing exactly 1kg. The filament is supplied on a standard spool ready to mount directly onto your printer extruder.
