Classically Modern Surface
This PLA produces elegant, frost‑textured parts that enhance detail and soften layer lines. The low-gloss, refined finish gives prints a clean, professional look and pleasant feel—ideal for display pieces, miniatures, and everyday objects.
Sturdy and Dependable
It delivers structural strength comparable to regular PLA: tensile strength ≈ 30 MPa, bending strength ≈ 75 MPa, bending modulus ≈ 2,300 MPa, and impact resistance ≈ 29 kJ/m² (store.bblcdn.com, us.elegoo.com). Prints won’t flex, crack, or feel flimsy.
Tough Under Real Conditions
With impact strength near 29 kJ/m², these prints shrug off common bumps and drops. Sure, it’s tasteful—yet resilient .
Engineered for Consistency
Density ranges around 1.23–1.25 g/cm³, with low moisture absorption. Dimensional stability stays within tight bounds, making it reliable for practical use.
🔧 Best For:
-
Display & decor with refined, non-glossy finishes
-
Miniatures & models where surface texture matters
-
Functional household parts that need both style and structure
