Product Features Specialized for 3D RC Planes Printing Low Density and Light Weight Tough with Good Impact Resistance Matte Finish For Easy Coloring Diameter: 1.75mm +/- 0.03mm Cautions for Use Recommended to dry out before use All AMS Series Compatible\ Bambu PLA Aero Bambu PLA Aero achieves low density and light weight by foaming at high temperatures during printing and creating small holes inside the prints. It's the perfect choice for light-weight and energy-saving prints, including unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), aerodynamic models, and gliders. Foaming PLA materials (PLA Aero) have high requirements for material drying and parameter settings. Please carefully read Instructions for printing aircraft model with foaming PLA (PLA Aero) before starting the printing process. Low Density and Light Weight Bambu PLA Aero has almost the same filament density as regular PLA, while the prints density is only 50% to 80%. * When printing models of the same volume, PLA Aero is about half the weight of PLA Basic. Controllable Model Density Achieve lower density of the prints by increasing printing temperature and lowering flow rate. * The average density of prints will vary with changes in parameters such as actual printing temperature, flow rate ratio, printing speed, model size, wall thickness and infill density.

Tough with Good Impact Resistance Compared to pre-foaming Wood PLA, Bambu PLA Aero and its prints are tougher and more resistant to impact, collision, and falling. Matte Finish For Easy Coloring Bambu PLA Aero provides an easy-to-color matte surface texture with better dyeing results as compared to PLA Basic.
