Prusament rPLA Wine Pigment 1kg

Product Description

Prusament rPLA Wine Pigment is a premium PLA filament from Prusa Research's own production, utilizing 100% recycled PLA material and bio-pigment from red wine production waste. Without the addition of synthetic dyes, a unique bordeaux / wine shade is created, which may vary slightly between batches.

The filament is manufactured with extraordinary dimensional accuracy of ±0.03 mm, making it suitable for both detailed and large-scale prints. Mechanical properties are similar to standard PLA – the material is stiff, easy to print, but slightly more brittle and more hygroscopic.

This rPLA is ideal for:

• design home decorations (vases, flower pot covers, interior accessories)
• aesthetic models and prototypes, presentation mockups
• gift items and figurines with an original natural color

Thanks to the use of recycled PLA and natural pigments, the material has a lower ecological footprint than standard PLA filaments.

Key Features

• 100% recycled PLA base from industrial waste
• Natural wine pigment from a byproduct of red wine production
• No synthetic dyes – color is determined solely by bio-pigment
• High diameter precision: ±0.03 mm
• Very easy printing, suitable even for beginners
• Low warping, suitable for small and large models
• Pleasant, subtle shade with a slightly variable tone between batches
• More eco-friendly alternative to classic PLA
• Manufactured in-house by Prusa Research

Recommended Use

• Interior decorations and design accessories
• Aesthetic models, figurines, collectibles
• Presentation and conceptual prototypes
• Packaging, stands, organizers for office and home

Not recommended for parts exposed to higher temperatures (e.g., in a car in the sun) or where high impact strength is required.

Printing Settings (guideline)

• Nozzle temperature: 205 ± 10 °C
• Bed temperature: 50 ± 10 °C
• Recommended surface: smooth / textured / satin PEI spring steel sheet
• Fan: 100 % (strong part cooling)

To achieve the best adhesion, keep the print surface clean (ideally cleaning with isopropyl alcohol) and ensure correct first layer calibration.

Material Properties

• Base: recycled PLA
• Pigment: grape bio-pigment (red wine production waste)
• Hardness / toughness: similar to PLA, rather more brittle
• Heat resistance: up to approx. ~59 °C (typical for PLA)
• Hygroscopicity: slightly increased – dry storage recommended
• Printing odor: noticeable but non-toxic, due to natural additives

Storage and Processing Tips

• Keep the spool dry, ideally in a resealable box with silica gel.
• When exposed to moisture for longer periods, the filament may degrade print quality – in such cases, we recommend drying in a filament dryer.
• For sanding, use wet sandpaper; dry sanding can cause local melting and clogging of the abrasive.
• Gluing is possible using most superglues; some PLA can also be glued with acetone, but results may vary by color and additives.
