PLA Purifier
Couldn't load pickup availability

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!

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