Prof. Lab PLA Navy Blue 1 kg

Prof. Lab PLA Navy Blue is a universal PLA filament in an elegant Navy Blue (dark/navy blue) color, designed for reliable everyday 3D printing. PLA is a biodegradable material based on lactic acid, characterized by easy printing, low shrinkage, and minimal odor during printing.

Filament in the navy blue shade is a great choice for:

• design and decorative models (figures, models, interior accessories)
• functional prototypes and mechanically less stressed parts
• educational and school projects, models for teaching
• covers, holders, organizers, and other practical printed parts

Thanks to the standard diameter of 1,75 mm, it is compatible with most common FDM/FFF 3D printers on the market.

Main advantages of PLA material

PLA is one of the most widespread materials for 3D printing because it combines ease of use and very good visual results.

Key features of PLA:

• very low shrinkage – lower risk of warping and deformation during printing
• no enclosed chamber or high bed temperature required
• easy adhesion to most print surfaces
• good hardness and tensile strength for common, less thermally stressed parts
• smooth and aesthetic surface after printing
• printing takes place almost without odor

Recommended printing parameters

These parameters are based on general recommendations for high-quality navy/dark blue PLA filaments available on the market and serve as default settings that can be fine-tuned according to the specific printer:

• Filament diameter: 1,75 mm
• Nozzle temperature: approx. 195–215 °C
• Bed temperature: approx. 0–50 °C (usually high temperature is not necessary; with some beds, it is possible to print even without heating)
• Recommended cooling: 60–100 % (strong fan for better details and bridges)
• Recommended printing speed: approx. 40–70 mm/s (depending on the printer and required surface quality)

Before printing, we recommend thoroughly cleaning the print surface (isopropyl alcohol, suitable cleaner for the given type of bed) and verifying correct first layer calibration.

Appearance and use of the Navy Blue shade

The Navy Blue shade is a deep, dark blue color that looks professional and elegant. On models:

• it hides minor surface imperfections
• it gives prints a technical and serious look
• it is suitable for ship models, technical parts, design elements, cosplay props and accessories

This shade is also popular for corporate prototypes and presentation models where a decent but distinctive color is required.

Compatibility

Prof. Lab PLA Navy Blue filament is designed for FDM/FFF 3D printers with 1,75 mm filament. Typically, you can use it without problems on printers such as Creality, Prusa, Anycubic, Bambu Lab, Artillery, Ender, Elegoo, Flashforge, Sovol, and many others (if they support PLA and 1,75 mm diameter).

Storage and filament care

To ensure the filament maintains its properties in the long term, we recommend:

• keeping the spool dry and away from direct sunlight
• storing in a sealable bag or box with moisture absorber (silica gel) after opening
• removing from the printer and repacking when not in use for a long time

Correct storage reduces the risk of snapping, poor adhesion, and inconsistent material flow.
