PLA Filament 2.85 mm
Eolas Prints PLA 2.85mm is the ideal choice for printers that require the wider format — including Ultimaker, LulzBot, and many other professional desktop machines. Manufactured in Cantabria, Spain, from NatureWorks Ingeo PLA resin, it delivers the same consistent quality and material certifications as our 1.75mm range. Made from food-contact-safe, toy-safe, and skin-safe certified raw material.
Key Properties
| Heat deflection temperature | ~55–60°C |
| Tensile strength | 50–60 MPa |
| Density | 1.24 g/cm³ |
| Shrinkage | Minimal |
| Food-contact-safe raw material | Yes — virgin pellets and masterbatches certified to EU food-contact standards (see note below) |
| Skin contact safe (raw material) | Yes |
| Toy safe (raw material) | Yes |
| Eco-friendly | Derived from renewable resources (corn starch / sugarcane) |
| Diameter tolerance | ±0.05 mm |
A Note on Food Contact
Our food-contact certification applies to the raw filament material — the virgin pellets and masterbatches we manufacture from — not to finished printed parts. 3D-printed surfaces contain microscopic gaps between layers that can harbour bacteria, and most printers use brass nozzles that may introduce trace metals into the print. For this reason, no 3D-printed object can be guaranteed food-safe by the filament alone. If you intend a part for food contact, print it with a stainless-steel nozzle and apply a food-safe sealant — and assess suitability for your specific use. This remains the responsibility of the maker.
Recommended Print Settings
| Nozzle temperature | 195–220°C |
| Bed temperature | 0–60°C |
| Print speed | 40–100 mm/s |
| Cooling fan | 80–100% after first layer |
| Enclosure | Not required |
| Diameter tolerance | ±0.05 mm |
Recommended Applications
- Prototypes, models, and decorative objects
- Containers and kitchen accessories (with appropriate food-safe sealing — see note above)
- Children's toys and educational models
- Wearable components and skin-contact parts
- Architectural and product design models
- Professional desktop printing on Ultimaker, LulzBot, and similar machines
Manufactured in Spain
Available in over 20 colours in 1 kg spools. ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified. Also available in 1.75mm diameter.
