PolyLite LW-PLA is a special foamed PLA designed to print with similar settings as regular PLA but with half the weight. What is the difference between active foaming and passive foaming? PolyLite LW-PLA is not an active foaming filament, which means it will not foam when extruded from the nozzle depending on the temperature. PolyLite LW-PLA is already pre-foamed. What are the pros and cons between active and passive foaming? Active foaming:You need to heavily modify your printing settings depending on the temperature and setup to compensate the foaming expansion of the material when printing.You need to print at very high temperature to achieve light weight results (~250), these high temperatures will create a lot of defects on the print such as stringing and blobs.At very high temperature, active foaming can achieve lighter print than passive foaming however the print may suffer of serious stringing defects. Passive foaming:You do not need to change any settings from your regular PLA settings (slight increase retraction) as PolyLite LW-PLA will offer light weight results even when printing at very low temperature (~190C).The lower the temperature the higher quality the print. Printing and Drying Settings? Printing Temperature: 190C - 210CBed Temperature: 30C - 50CPrinting Speed: 25mm/s - 60mm/sFan: ONDirect Drive:Retraction Distance: 3mmRetraction Speed: 40mm/sIndirect Drive:Retraction Distance: 6mmRetraction Speed: 60mm/sDrying Settings: 55C for 6h(Only if the material has absorbed moisture) Is PolyLite LW-PLA good for RC Plane? Yes, PolyLite LW-PLA is designed for ease of print and strong rigidity. For more information check out the review below about PolyLite LW-PLA for RC Plane application.
