Description

Why choose Protopasta Midnight? Each spool is unique so each print is unique. A variety of colors with the consistent results you expect from Protopasta. How do I print Midnight HTPLA? HTPLA prints like PLA.Use typical build surfaces with Magigoo for improved adhesion & release. When unwrapping a spool, secure loose filament end in your fingers, cardboard spool side corrugation, or 3d printer extruder to avoid loops & tangles. HTPLA is not abrasive. Max particle size is 0.1 mm. 0.6 mm nickel plated brass nozzle & heater block sock recommended for more reliable printing. A small gap between 1st layer extrusions helps avoid restriction.Choose 2 mm internal diameter tubing like Capricorn TL (light blue) w/ no play at connections. XS (dark blue) is <2 mm & creates extra resistance. Consider hard extruder gears like from Bondtech. A starting point for typical 3D printers like Prusa or Creality w/ 0.6 mm nozzles is 0.63 mm extrusion width, 0.25 mm layer thickness, & 20+ mm/s speed for 3+ cu mm/s volume rate w/ 3 walls & 5 top/bottom layers <2 cu mm/s rates can be problematic. For 0.4 mm nozzles try 0.44 mm extrusion width, 0.22 mm layers w/ 21+ mm/s speed & for 2+ cu mm/s rate w/ 3 walls & 4 top/bottom layers. Choose the lowest fan setting for a good surface (typically 20-60%). Avoid fan speed changes, cooling slowdowns, overlaps, & gap fill. Choose infill <100% & mind your max volume rate especially for infill. Nozzle temp depends on hotend, nozzle type, & volume rate, but 200-240 C can be ok. Beware of steel, ruby, or other restrictive, low thermal conductivity nozzles that restrict flow or require higher temps. Choose lowest nozzle temp for good layer adhesion & reliable flow. Consider a single wall part to verify flow, layer adhesion,& extrusion width. Adjust temp for inner-layer adhesion & flow to match physical extrusion width to software setting. Need help printing?
