Z-PLA Pro is a natural material which has been developed using biodegradable PLA as one of the components. It allows you to print objects rich in details with high dimensional accuracy and surface quality that resembles the texture of gypsum casts. However, Z-PLA Pro is a demanding material in terms of hardware and printing process. There are several measures that can help you make printing with Z-PLA Pro easier and problem-free. Follow the steps from this article to create the best printing environment for this material.
Hotend Requirements
Use a separate hotend that will be dedicated only for printing with Z-PLA Pro. The hotend should be new and not used with other materials during different projects.
Unload Z-PLA Pro from the hotend immediately after the printing process. Do not keep the overheated material loaded in the extruder to avoid material degradation in the nozzle.
