FAQ

Are there any metallic particles in PLA Pro Metallic series?

No, the PolyLite PLA Pro Metallic series does not contain actual metal particles in the material.

What is the difference between PolyLite™ PLA, PolyMax™ PLA and PolyLite™ PLA Pro?

PolyLite™ PLA is a very rigid material with very low impact resistance.
PolyMax™ PLA is an extremely ductile material with high impact resistance and durability.
PolyLite™ PLA Pro is the best of both worlds combining excellent rigidity and high impact strength.

Are there any metallic particles in PLA Pro Metallic series?

No, the PolyLite™ PLA Pro Metallic series does not contain actual metal particles in the material.

What is Jam-Free Technology?

Polymaker Jam-Free Technology increases the heat resistance of the filament itself (not the printed part) to 140°C.
This prevent any jamming issue due to the hot end heat creep issue.
Heat creep is the process of heat spreading irregularly throughout your hot end, softening the filament before entering the melting chamber and jamming the filament by making it expand in the cold end..
The increase of the filament heat resistance from 60°C to 140°C ensures a Jam-Free experience.
(Note the printed part will have the same heat resistance as regular PLA: ~60°C)

Material Properties

Technology

Jam-Free™ technology improves the heat stability of Polymaker’s PLA filaments with softening temperatures over 140 °C. As a result, Polymaker’s PLA filaments show minimal softening in the “cold end” and can melt rapidly once entering the heating zone, leading to excellent printing quality with zero risk of nozzle jams.
