Polymaker PolyLite LW-PLA 1.75mm Black 0.8kg (PA08004)

Lightweight PLA is the solution for makers who need to reduce the weight of their 3D printed parts without sacrificing printability. Polymaker PolyLite LW-PLA uses active foaming technology to create parts that are up to 220% lighter than standard PLA, making it ideal for RC models, drones, and cosplay props where every gram counts.

Who is it for

This filament is for hobbyists and professionals who need lightweight, matte-finish parts. It works on any FDM printer that accepts 1.75mm filament and is easy to print with standard PLA settings.

Main features

• Active foaming technology: expands during printing to reduce density to 0.7-0.8 g/cm³
• Matte surface finish hides layer lines for a professional look
• Low density reduces part weight without compromising strength
• Cardboard spool with 0.8 kg net weight

Tips

For best results, print a temperature tower to fine-tune the foaming ratio for your specific printer. Store the filament in a dry box when not in use, as moisture can affect foaming consistency.
