Recently, a customer inquired whether our Standard PLA filament contains impurities and if it frequently clogs the nozzle.

Upon further investigation, we learned that this customer had experienced two instances of nozzle clogging while using PLA filament from another brand. Initially, they tried adjusting the nozzle temperature to resolve the issue, but to no avail.

After some advice from friends, the customer realized that the problem might be related to impurities in the filament. After several attempts to clean the clogged nozzle, they found it to be quite a hassle and decided to look for a more reliable PLA filament. They came across recommendations for NextShapes PLA in a peer group and, while intrigued, still had concerns about clogging. They decided to reach out to us for clarification.

Filament Impurities and Nozzle Clogging Issues

If nozzle clogging is caused by the filament, it is often due to excessive impurities or the tendency of the filament to expand. These impurities can accumulate at the nozzle tip, obstructing material flow and ultimately affecting print quality.

To address this issue, we carefully selected impurity-free materials with excellent thermal melt properties during the development of NextShapes Standard PLA. After conducting hundreds of print tests, we have found that NextShapes Standard PLA rarely experiences nozzle clogging, ensuring smooth and stable printing performance.

Additionally, our Standard PLA filament is manufactured with advanced diameter testing technology, ensuring that the filament diameter is precisely controlled within 1.75±0.02mm. The filament is evenly wound and free from tangles, ensuring stable material output during the printing process and preventing clogging issues.

Golden Tree Printing Case

The customer had very high standards for PLA filament, especially when printing fine models. Previously, they had experienced frequent nozzle clogs, which resulted in failed attempts at printing the delicate branches of a Golden Tree. Even after trying different brands of filament, the issue persisted each time they attempted to print these intricate models.

After learning about the exceptional performance of NextShapes Standard PLA, the customer decided to try three rolls of gold PLA filament. To their delight, the printed Golden Tree model turned out exquisitely, with finely detailed branches, and there were no clogging issues at all. The printing process was smooth, and the quality was better than anything they had experienced before.
