Product Maintenance
Moisture Control is Key: Store immediately in airtight containers with desiccant packs to prevent moisture absorption, which causes poor print quality (sizzling, stringing, weak prints). Temperature & Dust: Store in a cool, dry, and stable environment, away from direct heat/sunlight. Keep the container sealed and free from dust. Handle Spool Carefully: Always secure the filament end to prevent tangles and knots. Re-Dry if Needed: If moisture is suspected (sizzling, poor prints), use a filament dryer or dehydrator at low temperatures (e.g., 45-55°C) for several hours.

Frequently Asked Questions
Question: What is Flashforge PLA Pro Filament?
Answer: It's an enhanced version of standard PLA, offering significantly increased strength, toughness, and improved printability for more durable and reliable 3D prints.
Question: How does it differ from standard PLA?
Answer: PLA Pro is engineered for superior impact resistance and tensile strength, with better layer adhesion and reduced warping compared to basic PLA, while retaining ease of use.
Question: What printers are compatible with Flashforge PLA Pro?
Answer: It's optimised for Flashforge 3D printers but is compatible with most FDM (Fused Deposition Modelling) 3D printers that accept 1.75mm filament.
Question: What are the recommended print settings?
Answer: Typically: Extruder Temperature: 190-220°C; Build Plate Temperature: 0-60°C (heated bed is optional but can aid adhesion). Always check your printer's specific requirements.
Question: What are the ideal uses for PLA Pro?
Answer: It's excellent for functional prototypes, durable concept models, jigs, fixtures, and any prints requiring higher strength and resilience than standard PLA.
Question: How should I store PLA Pro Filament?
Answer: Store it in an airtight container or sealed bag with desiccant packs to protect against moisture absorption, which degrades print quality.
Question: Can PLA Pro absorb moisture, and how do I fix it?
Answer: Yes, like all PLA, it's hygroscopic. If prints show bubbles, stringing, or poor adhesion, the filament may be wet. Dry it using a dedicated filament dryer or a food dehydrator at a low temperature (e.g., 45-55°C) for several hours.
