PLA-LW

eSUN PLA-LW is a lightweight foaming PLA designed for applications where reduced weight and high strength-to-mass ratio are essential. During printing, PLA-LW activates a controlled foaming process that expands the material, allowing you to achieve strong, low-density parts using lower flow rates. Ideal for RC planes, drones, cosplay armor, and any project that benefits from lighter, rigid structures without sacrificing durability. Characteristics Lightweight foaming formula reduces part weight by up to 50% High strength-to-weight ratio—excellent for aviation and structural models Foam expansion allows larger volume using reduced extrusion flow Smooth, stable extrusion with controllable foaming levels Low warp and easy to print once dialed in Vacuum-sealed spool for moisture-free, consistent performance Recommended Settings Extrusion Temperature: 210–270 °C (foaming increases at higher temps) Bed Temperature: 50–60 °C Print Speed: 30–60 mm/s
