Prusament rPLA Risotto Pigment 1kg

Product Description

Prusament rPLA Risotto Pigment 1kg is a premium recycled PLA filament produced by Prusa Research, developed with an emphasis on ecology and stable printing properties. It is a Prusament rPLA Natural Pigments material, where 100% of the base material comes from recycled PLA waste (production waste of PLA films) and the coloring is provided by natural bio-pigments from the food and pharmaceutical industries – without the use of synthetic dyes.

The Risotto Pigment variant has a creamy white shade (HEX approximately FFFFF3) with a slightly natural touch and a slightly variable shade between individual batches, which gives the prints a unique look. (help.prusa3d.com)

Applications

• Design and decorative models – vases, statues, interior accessories, lampshades, stands, etc.
• Home and furniture accessories – handles, hooks, caps, small furniture elements; the warm shade blends well with wood. (prusament.com)
• Prototypes and visual models – mockups, product prototypes, presentation models.
• Toys and visual parts – models, figures, and decorative elements where high heat resistance is not required.

Thanks to easy printing and low deformation during cooling, it is suitable for beginners and advanced users.

Key Features

• 100% recycled PLA material from production waste of PLA films – a greener choice compared to regular PLA. (prusament.com)
• Natural bio-pigments (no artificial dyes), color from food and pharmaceutical pigments.
• Creamy white "Risotto" shade, soft and elegant, suitable for interiors (HEX approx. FFFFF3, higher transparency – HueForge value 11). (help.prusa3d.com)
• Manufacturing diameter tolerance ±0.03 mm for consistent material flow and precise details. (prusament.com)
• Easy printing, low warping – suitable even for large parts. (prusament.com)
• Mechanical properties similar to PLA, slightly more brittle and more hygroscopic (absorbs moisture more easily). (prusament.com)
• Recommended nozzle temperature around 205 °C, bed 50 °C – fully compatible with most FFF/FDM printers. (prusament.com)
• Ecological choice – lower carbon footprint thanks to the recycled base and natural pigments. (blog.prusa3d.com)

Print Settings (Recommendations)

Nozzle

• Temperature: 205 ± 10 °C (usual range 200–220 °C)

Bed

• Temperature: 50 ± 10 °C (typically 40–60 °C)
• A heated bed is recommended, but not necessary for smaller models.

Recommended Surface

• Smooth PEI steel sheet
• Textured / Satin PEI sheet
• Alternatively glass, painter's tape, or glue stick for better adhesion. (prusament.com)

Other Parameters

• Printing difficulty: easy
• Recommended layer detail: up to 0.2 mm
• Printing speed: higher, suitable for fast visual prototypes
• Fan: 100% part cooling

Material Properties

• Material Type: Recycled PLA with natural pigments (rPLA Natural Pigments)
• Working temperature range (heat resistance): approx. up to 59 °C – deformation may occur above this temperature. (prusament.com)
• Hardness / Toughness: medium, slightly more brittle than standard PLA
• Brittleness: higher – not ideal for mechanically stressed functional parts
• Hygroscopicity: increased – storage in a dry place or in a closed box with silica gel is recommended
• Odor during printing: medium, non-toxic; for the Risotto variant it is generally perceived as less pronounced than for Algae, however, a natural "organic" tone may be felt. (prusament.com)
• Abrasiveness: none (no special hardened nozzle needed)

Recommendations for Use

• Decoration and Interior: The creamy white shade fits perfectly with wood and neutral colors, ideal for modern and Scandinavian styles.
• Gifts and Custom Production: Ability to present products as eco-friendly – made from recycled PLA and colored with natural pigments.
• For Beginners: Thanks to easy setup and low tendency to warp, the filament is suitable for the first successful prints.

Storage and Filament Care

• Keep the spool in a dry place, ideally in a sealable box with silica gel.
• If exposed to moisture for a long time, the filament can absorb water, which manifests as popping during printing and a rougher surface – in such a case, we recommend drying the filament according to Prusa Research recommendations.

Compatibility

Prusament rPLA Risotto Pigment is compatible with most FFF/FDM 3D printers that use 1.75 mm filament and allow temperature settings in the PLA range. No special hotend or closed chamber is required.
