## Description

desertcart.com: Polymaker LW-PLA 3D Printing Filament 1.75mm, 0.8kg, Black | Pre-foamed lightweight PLA with 0.9 g/cm3 density and matte finish for RC aircraft parts and weight-sensitive prints : Industrial & Scientific

Review: Good stuff - would buy again - Works great but you need to have the settings correct of printer. I ended up at 210 which seemed to work well.
Review: It took some dialing in but it is worth it! - The important bits: layer bonding and strength is incredible! very rigid and much lighter than PLA or PLA+ but heavier than foaming lightweight PLA. I am going to use this on all my future 3D printed planes! Now my long boring story :) Patience was the key with this filament! I have seen too many great reviews to think that there was an issue with the filament itself. I took the recommended approach of printing using PLA settings and increasing the retraction distance and speed to the settings recommended on polymakers website. My prints were completely unusable initially. I didn't have a lot of time after work to run calibration tests but I did what I could in my free time. I would change one setting and print a part, I didn't write anything down and I didn't keep track of my changes. The poor print quality was completely my fault for not taking the proper time to dial in the print settings. I even tried multiple slicers! I finally had a day off! no chores, no work... time to get this right :) I started with the basics, e-step calibration and PID tuning. Those were very close to perfect already so I knew that wasn't my issue. I started back with the defualt PLA settings and did a retraction test (two 10mm cubes spaced 40mm apart). I would do a print and take a picture, record the settings and results and then make only 1 change to 1 setting at a time until I got the setting dialed in. Then I would move to the next setting. Rinse and repeat until I got everything dialed in. About 10 hours later, a nearly perfect print with just the smallest amount of stringing! Don't do what I did and just get frustrated and start throwing different settings at this stuff! It took the perfect mix of speed, temp, retraction speed & distance as well as extra prime after retraction to get this stuff dialed in. A change to any one of those setting will throw off the print! Cura 5.10 Artillery Sidewinder X2 (love this printer!) Fulament magnetic flex PEI bed Temp 190 Bed temp 60 (I always run 60 for everything, just seems to work) Print speed 40mm/s Travel speed 250mm/s Retraction 3.5mm Retraction Speed 35mm/s Extra prime after retraction .36mm My issue was an extreme amount of stringing and oozing. I am printing a single walled print and it is important to have a strong Z seam. The loss of material during travel moves and layer changes made the Z seam very weak.

## Features

- PRE-FOAMED PLA FILAMENT: Typical density is 0.9 g/cm3. Its lightweight structure forms before printing, so it does not rely on in-nozzle expansion like active-foaming filaments
- RC AIRCRAFT APPLICATIONS: Print wings, airframes and other parts where weight matters. The matte surface softens layer lines; final part weight also depends on walls, infill and geometry
- TDS STARTING SETTINGS: With a 0.4mm nozzle, use 190-210°C nozzle, 25-60°C bed and 50-100mm/s speed. Turn the part-cooling fan on; an enclosed chamber is not required
- TUNE FOR YOUR PRINTER: Test a small part first. If you see stringing or poor first-layer adhesion, adjust temperature, retraction and bed setup. TDS retraction guidance: 3-6mm at 40-60mm/s.
- POLYMAKER LW-PLA 0.8KG SPOOL: Net filament weight is 0.8kg. Store dry; if moisture affects printing, the TDS recommends drying at 55°C for 6 hours. Check spool clearance in multi-material feeders

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good stuff for what it is!
*by J***C on October 21, 2025*

This stuff prints great. Just like regular PLA except with a little post cleanup required. However, it must be noted that if you’re trying to print RC planes, this is NOT the active foaming LW PLA that many RC planes are supposed to be printed out of. That being said, this pre foamed filament will likely still work, just a bit heavier and more expensive. Way easier to print though.
