PLA Basic

Everyday Strength You Can Count On
This PLA delivers consistent performance with tensile strength around 39 MPa (X–Y direction), bending strength ~76 MPa, and impact resistance ~27 kJ/m²—strong enough for most functional and decorative prints alike (api.x3dshop.com).

Clean, Smooth Finish
Boasting a bending modulus near 2,750 MPa, it holds crisp detail without being brittle. The result: prints that feel solid in-hand and look polished on display .

Built for Consistency
With reliable layer bonding and low variability in mechanical properties across axes, it’s a dependable choice for parts that need dimensional accuracy and dependable feel.

🔧 Best For:

• Everyday functional parts: clips, holders, gadgets

• Decorative models: figurines, desk pieces, gifts

• Prototypes & study prints: accurate form with predictable performance
