A recent customer shared how Standard PLA performed exceptionally well when printing fun toys compared to other filament brands, no more worrying about hot end clogs!

This customer, who runs a 3D printing farm, struggled with frequent hot end clogs while fulfilling a large toy-printing order. Despite numerous adjustments to nozzle temperature, the issue persisted. To make matters worse, the toys had rough surfaces, making it challenging to meet quality expectations.

After switching to Standard PLA, the customer shared their experience with us: "Since switching Standard PLA for fun toys, I haven’t encountered any hot end clogs. With my high-speed printer, I can achieve infill speeds of up to 450mm/s. My production efficiency has doubled with less downtime spent on repairing hot ends. On top of that, the toys now have a smoother surface finish, which my clients love."

Hot end clogs often occur when filaments contain impurities or absorb moisture, leading to swelling. These impurities can accumulate at the nozzle tip, restricting filament flow, which may impact the print quality or, in severe cases, cause complete clogs. Standard PLA, meticulously developed by the NextShapes R&D team, is crafted from ultra-pure materials with excellent thermal melting properties, ensuring smooth and clog-free printing. Additionally, the filament also incorporates proprietary nano-functional materials, resulting in exceptionally refined surface textures for prints.

The positive feedback from our customers highlights the superior performance of Standard PLA. Not only does it eliminate the issue of hot end clogs, but it also boosts print speed and enhances the precision of finished products. For 3D printing professionals, these improvements translate to significant productivity gains and higher-quality output.

Standard PLA is more than just a reliable filament, it’s a game-changer for those aiming to elevate their 3D printing projects.
