Prusament PLA Opal Green 1kg (NFC)

Prusament PLA Opal Green 1kg (NFC)

Prusament PLA Opal Green is a high-quality PLA filament manufactured directly at Prusa Research. Thanks to strict production control with a precision of ±0.02 mm, it achieves excellent repeatability and a smooth surface of prints. The elegant opal green color is ideal for decorative models, figures, prototypes, and large prints.

The integrated NFC chip in the spool allows compatible Original Prusa printers (e.g., MK4/XL series) to automatically recognize the material type and facilitates correct print settings.

Main advantages and use

• Easy printing even for beginners – PLA is one of the easiest materials to print, with minimal warping and excellent bed adhesion.
• High dimensional accuracy – 1.75 mm diameter with a tolerance of ±0.02 mm ensures consistent flow and a quality surface without under- or over-extrusion.
• Opal Green – attractive color – an elegant green shade suitable for design models, prototypes, cosplay accessories, figures, and decorations.
• Integrated NFC – fast spool identification, simplified material setup on compatible Original Prusa printers.
• Suitable for large and small prints – low thermal expansion, minimal deformation, great details on small parts.

Typical use:

• conceptual prototypes and models
• figures, miniatures, board games
• decorations, interior accessories, and design objects
• educational models in schools and clubs

Recommended print settings

Specific values may vary slightly depending on the printer and environment.

• Nozzle temperature: approx. 215 °C
• Bed temperature: 50–60 °C
• Print speed: medium to higher (PLA handles faster printing than many other materials)
• Cooling: 100 % (strong airflow for sharp details)
• Print bed: PEI (smooth or powdered), or glass with a suitable adhesive

Before printing, we recommend thoroughly degreasing the bed (e.g., with isopropyl alcohol) according to Prusa Research recommendations.

PLA material properties

• Easy to print – suitable for beginners and advanced users
• Low deformation (warping) – ideal for larger models
• Hard but more brittle – tends to crack rather than bend under stress
• Lower temperature resistance – loss of strength above approximately 55–60 °C, unsuitable for a hot car or direct sun outdoors
• Low UV resistance – recommended mainly for indoor use

PLA is an ideal material for visual models, non-stressed parts, and decorations where appearance, accuracy, and simplicity of printing are important.

Post-processing and gluing

• Sanding: wet sanding is recommended – without water, local heating occurs, causing surface smearing and clogging of the abrasive.
• Gluing: PLA can be glued with many adhesives – most commonly superglue. Some PLA blends can be partially welded with acetone, but it depends on the specific shade and additives.

Safety and storage

• Store in a dry place, ideally in a resealable bag or box with silica gel.
• Protect from high temperatures and direct sunlight.
• Ensure basic room ventilation during printing.
