PLAdium (PLAtinum?) filament from Tom Martz  (Taulman) - Stuff prints just like our other

PLAdium (PLAtinum?) filament from @Tom_Martz (Taulman) - Stuff prints just like our other PLA but is a bit stronger. No stringing at all. Haven’t had much time to print more, but hoping to soon.

As always, an engineering plastic. Sorry about the dirty desk. :smiley:

So far, prints just like any other PLA I’ve had the pleasure of working with. I like it a bit more than “arc-bio”. Had to bump up my temps by about 5C, as it seemed a little stickier but otherwise the stuff is great. No warping, layer adhesion was strong.

What else should I print in this stuff? I’m having a hard time picking something that shows off the characteristics of this filament.

Btw, some of those overhangs are gnarly. It did amazingly well with those too.

Integrate some leds. Look cool with the see through.

That’s definitely very nice looking.

Really excited about this! Will be carrying it and printing with it soon.

Looks good, what about the bird cage with the little bird in it? And a half size one :smiley:

Nice Print. Seeing a lot of ‘special’ additives for PLA being released. I have tested a few, most seem to make it stronger, even less warp, nothing yet has changed the standard glass transition temperature. It would be nice to see some higher temperature PLA.

It would be nice to try this stuff out too.

@Richard_Horne
Protopasta has a higher temp PLA. There are other higher temp resins too. Beyond that, I wonder if there’s a point in holding out such hope. There are other materials to use.

@ThantiK you could try this vase. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:438060 The one pictured is in PETG

@Richard_Horne post a conversation I had the other day, I believe your wishes will soon be granted. Can’t say much more as it is not my product to talk about, but sounds very promising.

@Richard_Horne On it’s way…expedited/asap/fast…!

@Tom_Martz Wow! Thanks Tom, I’ll get on it :slight_smile:

There he is! Can’t wait to get my hands on these cool filaments @Tom_Martz !
