Special Considerations

Environmental Factors

While PLA is an extremely versatile material, it is susceptible to heat. It is not the best choice for environments that experience high temperatures over extended periods, like outdoor settings. PLA prints might degrade or deform when exposed to direct sunlight or high ambient temperatures for long durations.

Handling and Storage

• Storage: Store the filament in a cool, dry place to prevent it from absorbing moisture. Use airtight containers or vacuum bags with desiccants to maintain its quality.
• Handling: Ensure your hands are clean and free from oils or contaminants when handling the filament, as this can affect print quality.
