Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We've got answers. From choosing the right material to caring for your spools, here's everything you need to know in one spot.

What is PolySonic™ PLA and PLA Pro?

These materials are designed to print fast! PolySonic™ PLA has very similar properties as PolyLite™ PLA, and PolySonic PLA Pro has very similar properties to PolyLite™ PLA Pro - they were just designed with high flow and fast printing in mind.

PolySonic™ PLA and PLA Pro can print at much faster speeds without the need to worry about under extrusion or lost of shine in your print.

What is a High Speed filament?

A material is considered "High Speed" if it fulfills the following 3 criteria at a set printing temperature:

1) Flowability: It can extrude consistently at 24mm3/s on popular extrusion system. (equivalent to 300mm/s at 0.2mm layer height with a 0.4mm nozzle)

2) Formability: At 24mm3/s, it maintains similar surface quality, overhang and bridging as printed at lower speed.

3) Functionality: At 24mm3/s, it maintains at least 80% of its overall mechanical properties when printing at lower speed. (mainly: layer adhesion, tensile strength and impact strength)

PolySonic™ PLA at 230˚C
1) Maximum flow*: 24mm3/s** (tested on a customized extrusion platform equipped with an E3D volcano hotend, 0.4mm nozzle with Hemera XS extruder)

2) Confirmed similar quality Polymaker Scientist when printed at 4mm3/s and 24mm3/s

3) Layer Adhesion at 4mm3/s-24mm3/s: 33.6-31.9 MPa (Maintain 95%)
Tensile Strength at 4mm3/s-24mm3/s: 41.2-39.3 (Maintain 95%)
Impact strength at 4mm3/s-24mm3/s: 22.7-19.4 kJ/m2 (Maintain 85%)

* Maximum Flow: Flow at which the measured flow is decreasing below 95% of the requested flow.
**
For 0.2mm layer height with 0.4mm nozzle: 24mm3/s -> 300mm/s
For 0.1mm layer height with 0.4mm nozzle: 24mm3/s -> 600mm/s

What are the advantages of using a High Speed filament?

 1) Surface Quality at high speed:

When printing at high speed, the nozzle will actually experience a wide variety of speed going from 0mm/s to the max speed set on the slicer. The higher the max speed, the wider the range of different speeds. The issue is with the printing temperature being the same, the extrusion temperature will vary dramatically leaving difference surface finishes on the print (from glossy to matte because of a phenomenon called: Shark Skin), High Speed filament reduces these differences by displaying similar surface finish in a wide range of flow rates.
Additionally, high speed filament will extrude much more consistently within the speed range providing a smooth surface whereas regular filament will display holes, artifacts and layers with different thicknesses.

2) Mechanical Properties at high speed: 

High Speed filament will display far greater overall mechanical properties when printed at higher speed than regular filament because of the more consistent extrusion and the optimized cooling/melting rate of the polymer.

3) Higher Throughput:

Thanks to 1) and 2), you are able to output the same quality part at a much higher pace from your 3D printer. This advantage is ideal for businesses using 3D printing to produce their products.

What is the difference between PolyLite™ PLA, PolyMax™ PLA and PolyLite™ PLA Pro?

Short answer:
PolyLite™ PLA is a very rigid material with very low impact resistance.
PolyMax™ PLA is an extremely ductile material with high impact resistance and durability.
PolyLite™ PLA Pro is the best of both worlds combining excellent rigidity and high impact strength.

Long answer in our live experiment here.

Will the spools work in an AMS?

Yes! We have redesigned the edges of our spools so all Polymaker products will now spin great in the AMS.

Is this material food safe?

Unfortunately we do not have any data whether this material is food safe. As of now, no 3D printing material on the market is FDA food safe compliant. This is because in order to be certified as food safe, the actual object needs to be certified and not the base material. The shape, bed used, environment the object was made, and much more goes into getting a food safety certificate. As of now there is no real certification that the FDA offers for 3D printing.

Do you sell refills?

We are sorry but we do not sell refills at this time

Is this material recyclable?

Unfortunately there is no great answer for recycling PLA at this time. Our cardboard spools are biodegradable but there is no great way to recycle PLA at this time.

Customers praised this high-speed filament for "excellent print quality" and smooth surfaces. "One of the best filaments" that prints at speeds up to 200mm/s with minimal stringing or warping. Some noted yellow transparency issues and label changes. Occasional shipping problems resolved by responsive customer service.

Great Product

One of the best PLA filaments I have used. Very forgiving in terms of machine and slicer settings. Prints come out clean with a smooth surface and I am able to take advantage of faster print speeds!

Very good product but the color yellow is a little too transparent for what I use it for

Very good product but the color yellow is a little too transparent for what I use it for. I print model trains, and I am having a time finding the right colors that are railroad related. It would be nice if someone would produce some!

Perfect result will buy again

My setup is modified cr-10s running klipperI print with the last version of orca slicer that has the option to keep the speed and flow rate(print outer wall without slowing down).I'm printing at 200mm/s with no problems and a perfect result.I will definitely buy this again .

Polymaker filament prints with excellent quality

I don't really have much to say about this filament. If you know Polymaker, you know it's going to be 10/10. And if for some reason something was off, you will be hard pressed to find a company that will take care of you as well as Polymaker.I didn't print anything crazy fast (250mm/s) But, this filament did well and printed with excellent print quality.

Unfortunately product arrived very warped and unevenly wound due to over drying. However customer service more than took take of the problem since Polymaker is the top tier filament producer in the world.

Solid filament, no issues

Solid filament. No issues at all. It was rolled well and did not experience any tangles.

Polymaker PLA is one of best

I have tried many different brands of PLA and Polymaker is one of the best I have used. It is also more expensive than other "good" brands. I don't get warping which is one of the reasons I spend more for this PLA. It sticks to a clean plate and has little stringing. I use default P1S settings for Generic HS PLA with the door closed and have no issues printing.

Polymaker is my favorite filament brand

I've tried lots of different filaments and Polymaker is by far my favorite. If it was not for the premium price, I would only buy their filaments. Now I mostly use it for things that matter and do prototyping with the cheaper stuff.

Better High Speed PLA Alternative

I tested several different brands of 'High Speed' or 'Rapid' PLA to find an alternative for the Creality Hyper PLA.So far the polymaker hasn't had any knots in the spool, and it prints better from what I can tell.

Incredible high speed PLA performance

I wanted to see the difference between high speed pla and the regular pla...this stuff is incredible.On my Anycubic kobra 2 I can get very good prints in regular pla at around 80mm/s...With this PLA I can get the same result at 200mm/s!

Smooth printing filament checks all boxes

Watch when you change from black to white. You need to purge a bunch because you will get grey.I print tenth scale RC truck bodies and this filament checks all the boxes once you get your settings dialed in. It prints very smooth even with .2 layer heights going at the high speed of a Bambu P1P.The cost is reasonable and post processing has been greatly reduced. It's my go to filament for feeding my hungry Bambu printer.

Amazing High Speed Filament Prints Well

This filament is amazing. It handles high speed printing very well, something no other PLA I've used has really gotten right (which makes sense, since PLA generally isnt much of a speed filament), and more generally produces very high quality parts with a nice finish even when used like a normal filament.
