Tutorial: How to Use 1kg Violet PLA Filament 1.75mm

High-quality violet PLA filament is ideal for 3D printer enthusiasts who want to create decorative objects or prototypes with an elegant and durable appearance.

What you need

• 3D Printer
• Filament Reader
• Cleaning Kit

Steps

1. Check the compatibility of violet PLA filament with your 3D printer by consulting the manual or the brand’s website.
2. Prepare the 3D printer: ensure it is off and cool before proceeding.
3. Install the filament feeder on the printer and gently insert the purple PLA filament into the feeder guide.
4. Start the printer and select the option to load the filament, following the instructions on the printer’s display.
5. Once the filament is fully loaded into the system, prepare a 3D model using software like Cura or Simplify3D.
6. Load the STL file of the model into your 3D printer and set the printing parameters for the purple PLA (check the datasheet).
7. Start the print and monitor the progress, ensuring there are no interruptions or issues.
8. Once the print is complete, gently remove the object from the print bed.

Mini project

Create a cute animal-shaped keychain using purple PLA filament. Use a free 3D model available on Thingiverse and it takes about 30 minutes to complete the print.

Common mistakes
