Large 3D printed STOREO storage container As useful as it is cute! Kids and adults love this. Makes a very unique gift to keep trinkets, snacks, or the TV remote stored in. Kids will love to hide things away in this. Measurements: 7" wide x 3" thick Printed from safe PLA filaments. PLA (polylactic acid) filament is made from fermented plant starches found in renewable resources like corn starch, sugarcane, or cassava roots. The process involves fermenting these plant sugars to create lactic acid, which is then polymerized into long chains of polylactic acid. The manufacturing process Fermentation: Starch is extracted from plants and converted into glucose (sugar). Microorganisms then ferment the glucose to produce lactic acid. Polymerization: The lactic acid molecules are chemically linked together to form long polymer chains. This can be done directly or by first creating a ring-shaped molecule called lactide and then polymerizing it. Extrusion: The resulting polylactic acid polymer is heated and melted, then pushed through a nozzle to create a thin, continuous filament. Cooling and spooling: The filament is rapidly cooled to maintain its shape and then wound onto a spool for use in 3D printers.
