PLA  (Poly-Lactic-Acid) is a biodegradable polymer with a low melting point.
EverfilTM PLA-N.01 is very easy to print material, offering a nice and  smooth surface finish. When properly cooled, PLA  can work well at higher maximum printing speed, lower layer
heights and also easily print sharp corners.
Combining this with low warping of the print makes it the first choice of most
makers, prosumers and schools.

STORAGE
Filament can't handle moisture very well and that is why we recommend storing your
filament in a cool, dry environment, ideally in a package vacuum sealed with silicate.
