SainSmart LW-PLA Filament Overview
SainSmart LW-PLA (Lightweight PLA) is a 3D printing material specially developed for aeromodelling drones and cosplay. Compared with regular PLA Filament, printing with the LW-PLA Filament delivers a lighter wing load and a lower stall speed to your aircraft models. With a better balance between strength and weight, it also brings better performance to your models.
The expanding property of this PLA Filament allows for excellent layer bonding, better drop resistance, and repairability. In combination with the low-density feature, this filament is a perfect option for RC planes, drone parts, and cosplay models.
Features
Light Weight
With active foaming technology, this LW-PLA filament delivers low-density and lightweight parts. The SainSmart LW PLA Filament has a density of 0.54 g/cm³, resulting in a significant weight reduction for your printed parts, perfect for RC planes and drones. The reduced weight enables lower wing loads and stall speed, allowing for overall better performance.
Active Foaming
The foaming expansion of this LW PLA filament allows you to print with up to 2X material flow. The maximum foaming rate of this LW-PLA filament is 220%, meaning that one roll of LW-PLA can be used as 2.2 rolls of ordinary PLA. This allows you to print more with less material.
Smooth Finish
Models printed with this LW PLA filament have a smooth matte surface with minimal layer lines. The improved paint adhesion also enhances your creativity. The foaming feature allows for almost invisible layer lines and a smooth matte finish.
Customizable Expansion Effects
The LW PLA filament will start expanding at certain printing temperatures above 210℃. By adjusting the printing temperature, speed, and flow during your print, you can customize the expansion effect for different densities in various sections of a model.
LW-PLA has stable interlayer bonding, and the expansion rate, density, and strength can be controlled by adjusting the printing temperature.

What This Is For
LW-PLA Filament is PLA filament for a compatible 3D printer. Choose the listed color, finish, spool weight, and formulation to match the parts or models you plan to print.
JR Recommends
Confirm the filament diameter and the print profile for this exact PLA formulation. Check the selected color and spool quantity, then test a small part before a larger production run.
