Printing the incredible new Expanding LW-PLA by @colorfabb_official on my Prusa i3 clone with the @e3donline Volcano. I'm using a 1mm nozzle, 0,5mm layers and 10% infill and printing at 250° Celcius and 40% flow rate. #3dprinting #3dprintingcommunity #3dp #3dprinter #prusa #colorfabb #lw_pla #expandingpla #innovation #technology #tech #opensourcehardware #makergram #makers #thingiverse #betatester (at Amsterdam, Netherlands) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvynpCOIeYp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=zsrpoyz5u9l5

Printed these identical Pyramids in the soon to be released @colorfabb_official expanding LW-PLA to show the amazing properties of the material. The Pyramid on the left is printed in normal PLA settings at 205° Celcius and normal print speed and came out at 243 grams. The one on the right is printed at 270° Celcius. All speeds 40 mm/s and flow rate only 40%. This one is only 81 grams and is exactly 3 times lighter than the one printed in normal settings. This stuff is amazing. I also love that it almost looks like a Carbon filled material after it's printed in high temperatures. Great invention by ColorFabb. Both models are printed on the Original Prusa i3 MK3 by @josefprusa and sliced in Slic3r Prusa Edition. #3dprinting #3dprintingcommunity #3dp #3dprinter #prusa #prusaresearch #prusai3mk3 #colorfabb #lw_pla #expandingpla #filament #polymers #maker #makersgonnamake #additive #additivemanufacturing #de3dprintman #innovation #madeinthenetherlands (at Amsterdam, Netherlands) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv4pKtknbvM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ai8xu9wsdrt3

I tried a more detailed print in the new Expanding @colorfabb_official LW-PLA and it actually came out great. I used NO retraction at all and it was printed on my Custom Prusa i3 with @e3donline Volcano hotend and 0,6 mm high output @theolssonruby nozzle and @cap.tubes. This Deadpool by @eastman3d is printed in 0,25 mm layers and 10% infill. #3dmodel #3dprinting #3dp #colorfabb #expandingpla #lw_pla #innovation #prusa #prusai3 #e3dvolcano #e3d #olssonruby #captubes #makerslife #makergram #maker #additivemanufacturing #additive #deadpool #eastman3d (at Amsterdam, Netherlands) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw1clG3hbgh/?igshid=1cppax5b463nv

@colorfabb_official is releasing another great material soon. This material can be printed like regular PLA at around 205° Celcius and when you apply more heat to the filament it can expand up to 3 times. For example, The ColorFabb mascot on the left is printed in purple N-Gen and resized to 75% and is 34 grams. The other one is printed at normal size in the new Expanding LW-PLA at 250° Celcius and is only 16 gram. Both are printed on the Original Prusa i3 MK3 and have the same amount of walls and infill. #colorfabb #expandingpla #lw_pla #filament #ngen #3dprinting #3dprintingcommunity #3dp #makersmovement #makerslife #prusa3d #prusai3mk3 #additive #additivemanufacturing #innovative #3dprintingtechnology #polymers (at Amsterdam, Netherlands) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvR4BCvH_EU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14lbglf0eqiys
