Prof. Lab PLA White 5 kg

Prof. Lab PLA White 5 kg

Prof. Lab PLA White 5 kg is a large-capacity package of proven PLA filament from the Prof. Lab brand, which specializes in high-quality PLA materials for reliable everyday printing. The neutral white color is ideal for prototypes, functional parts, design models, modeling, and educational projects, where a clean and easily paintable surface is required.

This 5 kg package is a great solution for users who print frequently and want to minimize spool changes and have stable results throughout long print jobs.

Main advantages of Prof. Lab PLA White filament

• Large 5 kg package – ideal for print farms, schools, companies, and long series of parts
• Easy printing even for beginners – PLA does not require a closed chamber or extreme temperatures
• Stable diameter 1.75 mm with tight tolerance for smooth material flow
• Low curling and warping – suitable for larger models and precise functional parts
• Matte white / neutral surface – details stand out well, easy painting and finishing
• Eco-friendly material – PLA based on renewable resources (corn starch)
• Compatible with most FDM/FFF 3D printers using 1.75 mm filament

Recommended use

White PLA filament Prof. Lab is a universal material suitable for a wide range of projects:

• functional prototypes and technical models
• decorations, statues, figurines and design objects
• architectural models and visualization mock-ups
• organizers, holders, fixtures and small utility parts
• educational and school projects, clubs, makerspaces
• models intended for further surface treatment (sanding, painting, coloring)

Thanks to its neutral white color, the material is also suitable for presentations to clients, where a clean and unobtrusive look of the prototype is desired.

Printing parameters (orientational)

Parameters are based on standard settings for Prof. Lab PLA filaments and may vary slightly depending on the specific printer and conditions.

• Nozzle temperature: 190–215 °C
• Bed temperature: 25–60 °C (on some printers it is possible to print even on an unheated bed with a suitable adhesive agent)
• Print speed: approx. 40–70 mm/s depending on model complexity
• Cooling fan: 80–100 % after the first layers

For best results, we recommend starting in the middle of the temperature range (e.g., 200–205 °C) and fine-tuning the settings according to the specific printer and model geometry.

PLA material properties

• Low tension and minimal shrinkage – lower risk of cracking and warping
• Good dimensional accuracy – suitable for parts that fit together
• Rigid material with lower heat resistance (typically up to ~50–55 °C)
• Low odor during printing and more pleasant work compared to ABS
• Bioplastic based on renewable raw materials, making it a more ecological choice compared to purely petroleum-based plastics

Storage and filament care

To ensure that Prof. Lab PLA White 5 kg filament maintains its parameters for a long time, we recommend:

• storing the spool in a dry place, ideally in a sealable bag with desiccant
• protecting it from direct sunlight and high temperatures
• unloading the filament from the nozzle and storing it back in a dry place during longer printer inactivity

This will reduce moisture absorption from the environment and maintain a high-quality surface and reliable flow of the filament throughout the life of the spool.

Who is Prof. Lab PLA White 5 kg ideal for

• Professional users and companies that print larger series of parts and want stable results
• Schools, universities, and education centers – white models are clear and great for explaining construction
• Print farms and service 3D printers that need to minimize downtime by changing spools
• Hobby users who print often and want a cost-effective large package without compromising on quality

With the large 5 kg package, you get maximum comfort during long uninterrupted prints and a material you can rely on for every project.
