3D Printlife Algix DURA: PLA Based Biodegradable Nylon Analog 3D Printer Filament

 

DURA 3D printer filament is a proprietary blend of bioplastics including an optimized PLA that mimics nylon in strength and flexibility, but is 100% biodegradable.

 

 

 

 

• PLA based bioplastic blend
• Rivals nylon in strength and flexibility
• Improved toughness, elongation, and brittleness compared to PLA and ABS
• Better heat resistance and layer adhesion than PLA
• Higher print resolution than ABS
• 100% biodegradable, environmentally sustainable, & non-toxic
• Releases no toxic fumes or harmful UFP's
• Print Temp: 175℃ - 195℃
• Heated bed not required

 

 

 

ALSO AVAILABLE IN 100g COIL SAMPLES

 

 

DURA has improved toughness, elongation, and brittleness compared to PLA and ABS. DURA does not release toxic fumes and does not require a heated bed or enclosure.

 

Final parts printed with DURA have a very smooth finish and the print layers are nearly invisible. DURA has better heat resistance and layer adhesion than PLA and has higher print resolution than ABS.

 

DURA filament is made from majority renewable content and is compostable.

 

 

• Tensile Strength at Yield: 29 (MPa)
• Tensile Elongation @ Yield: 18%
• Tensile Modulus: 2.75 (MPa)

 

Ideal for educators and enthusiasts, DURA expands the material capabilities of the most basic 3d printers it prints without a headed bed and because of its low print temperature.

 

Originally developed by Algix, 3D Printlife is proud to be the sole manufacturer of their unique and sustainable, high performance 3d filaments. We are thrilled to integrate their materials into our portfolio as we work together to improve sustainability in 3d printing.

 

Made in the USA with 100% virgin resins and precision manufacturing combined to deliver the ultimate in consistent and sustainable 3d printing for hobbyists to Industry 4.0.

 

DURA meets ASTM D6400 standards for biodegradability and maintains a dimensional accuracy better than +/- 0.05mm.

 

Every inch of DURA is measured to ensure that it is within the strictest standards for quality, diameter, and ovality. DURA is 750g of filament wound onto a heavy recycled cardboard spool that is biodegradable and bound with a recyclable tin end cap. In fact the entire spool can be tossed directly into your recycling bin!

 

The spool includes both a cutout for viewing filament and dual puncture slots to secure filament when not in use. The flange can even rotate to in either direction to aid in securing the filament wherever it has been cut. The spool was specifically designed for universal fit with most 3d printers in use worldwide and is compatible with Ultimaker printers.

 

Each spool of DURA is carefully wound to exacting standards to minimizing crossovers and loopbacks that can lead to snags and snaps. In addition, a portion of the proceeds from every spool of DURA will be donated to plant a tree. Every spool helps rejuvenate iconic forests in key locations throughout the United States.
