PLA Purifier combines Recreus' popular and easy-to-print PLA with innovative Pure.tech technology, creating a filament that actively purifies the air while maintaining excellent mechanical properties. This revolutionary material adsorbs and mineralizes Carbon Dioxide (CO₂), Nitrogen Oxides (NOx), and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), transforming these greenhouse gases into harmless mineral particles through natural catalytic reactions.

Beyond its exceptional printing characteristics, PLA Purifier adds environmental value to every print through its continuous air-purifying capabilities. The material is fully recyclable, maintaining its purification properties even after recycling, making it a sustainable choice for conscious makers. Powered by Pure.tech technology, each printed piece actively contributes to creating healthier environments while delivering the reliable performance expected from Recreus PLA.

Complete Technical Printing Guide - PLA PURIFIER

🌡️ 1. Material Preparation

Storage and Handling:

📦 Store in a cool, dry place
💡 PLA PURIFIER features enhanced antibacterial properties while maintaining PLA's ease of use
🔍 Check for any visible damage or contamination before use
🦠 Ideal for medical and hygiene-focused applications

⚡ 2. Understanding Print Speed

Volumetric vs. Linear Speed

🌊 Volumetric Speed (mm³/s): Like water through a hose - measures how much plastic flows per second, regardless of nozzle size.
📏 Linear Speed (mm/s): Like walking speed - how fast the printer head moves across the print area
🔑 Key Formula: Linear Speed = Volumetric Speed / (Line Width × Layer Height)

✨ The Magic: When you set a volumetric speed limit in your slicer, it automatically calculates and adjusts all linear speeds (perimeters, infill, etc.) based on your current nozzle size and layer height. This ensures consistent material flow regardless of your print settings!

⚙️ 3. Basic Parameters

0.6mm	0.6-1.0mm	45mm/s	0.2mm
0.8mm	0.8-1.2mm	40mm/s	0.2mm
1.0mm	1.0-1.5mm	35mm/s	0.2mm

🌡️ 6. Bed Temperature Settings

Bed Temperature:

First Layer: 60°C
Other Layers: 50°C
Small Parts: 55°C
Large Parts: 60°C

Build Surface Recommendations:

PEI sheet works excellent
Glass bed with proper cleaning
Textured surfaces for better adhesion
Clean surface with IPA before printing

❄️ 7. Cooling Settings

Cooling Configuration:

Fan Speed Settings:

First Layer: 0% (fan off)
General Printing: 100% base fan speed
Bridges and Overhangs: 100% fan speed
Layers < 15 seconds: 100% fan speed

Advanced Settings:

Keep Fan Always On: YES
Force Fan Speed for Overhangs: YES
Minimum Layer Time: 5 seconds
Maximum Fan Speed: 100%
Regular Fan Speed: 100%

Layer Time Goals:

Minimum Layer Time: 5 seconds
Maximum Layer Time: 15 seconds
Lift Head on Layer Too Fast: Yes

Critical Considerations:

PLA PURIFIER requires maximum cooling for best results
Full fan speed helps with bridging and overhangs
First layer needs no cooling for good adhesion
Small parts need maximum cooling

Temperature Control Tips:

PLA PURIFIER prints well in room temperature
Enclosure is not recommended
Monitor first layer temperature and adhesion
Adjust fan speed only for first layer
Use maximum fan speed for all other layers

🔧 8. Troubleshooting Guide

Problem	Solution
Poor Layer Adhesion	1. Increase temperature by 5-10°C 2. Reduce cooling fan speed for first few layers 3. Clean build surface with IPA
Warping	1. Increase bed temperature to 60°C 2. Add brim (5-10mm) 3. Ensure no drafts in printing area
Stringing	1. Lower temperature by 5°C 2. Increase retraction speed to 45mm/s 3. Adjust retraction distance
Under-extrusion	1. Increase temperature by 5-10°C 2. Clean nozzle or try cold pull 3. Check filament quality
Poor Overhangs	1. Ensure 100% cooling 2. Reduce temperature by 5°C 3. Reduce print speed by 50%

✨ 9. Best Practices

🛠️ Basic Tips:

Clean bed with IPA before each print
Level bed when heated to printing temperature
Use 0.2mm first layer height for better adhesion
Store in a dry place with desiccant

⚙️ Print Settings:

Always use cooling fan (except first layer)
Print first layer at 50% speed
Use brim for tall or large prints
Keep ambient temperature stable

⚠️ NOTE: PLA PURIFIER combines the ease of use of standard PLA with enhanced antibacterial properties. These settings are optimized for quality and reliability while maintaining the material's special characteristics. Fine-tune based on your specific printer and environment if needed.
