Get Ready to Print at 500mm/s: The Ultimate Guide to High-Speed PLA
If you’re a maker who’s tired of long print times and looking to speed up your 3D printing process without sacrificing quality, then you’re in the right place. Introducing Amolen High-Speed PLA, the filament designed for blazing-fast print speeds of up to 500 mm/s while still delivering precision, reliability, and smooth prints.

Here’s everything you need to know about how High-Speed PLA can take your 3D printing to the next level.

What Makes Amolen High-Speed PLA So Fast?

The secret behind the speed of Amolen High-Speed PLA lies in its specially engineered material modification. By enhancing the melt index—also known as flow stability—this filament can melt and flow faster than basic PLA filaments, which usually range from 50-100 mm/s in speed.

With Amolen High-Speed PLA, you can print at up to 500 mm/s, cutting down your print times significantly. Whether you’re working on rapid prototyping, large projects, or simply want faster results, this filament will help you get there.

High-Speed PLA vs. Regular PLA: A Comparative Analysis

Feature Amolen High-Speed PLA Regular PLA
Printing Speed Up to 500 mm/s Typically between 50-100 mm/s
Flow Stability Enhanced for faster melting and smoother extrusion Standard flow, suitable for moderate speeds
Material Strength High fluidity at high speeds without losing quality Moderate strength at lower speeds
Print Accuracy Maintains accuracy even at high speeds Provides accuracy, but at slower speeds
Best Use Cases High-speed production, rapid prototyping, faster projects Detailed prints, complex models at lower speeds

 

Amolen’s High-Speed PLA is specifically designed for speed, meaning you can print much faster without sacrificing the quality of your prints. It’s perfect for when you need rapid results, whereas regular PLA is ideal for slower, more intricate designs.

Understanding Melt Flow Index (MFI)

At the heart of Amolen’s High-Speed PLA performance is its Melt Flow Index (MFI). But what exactly is MFI, and why is it important for high-speed printing?

The Melt Flow Index (MFI) is a measure of how easily a material can flow when melted. In simpler terms, it’s a key indicator of how quickly and smoothly filament will extrude from your 3D printer’s nozzle.

  • Higher MFI: Materials with a higher MFI, like Amolen High-Speed PLA, flow more easily when heated, allowing for faster extrusion and print speeds. This is why our high-speed PLA can reach speeds up to 500 mm/s while maintaining smooth, consistent printing.
  • Lower MFI: Regular PLA typically has a lower MFI, meaning it flows more slowly, which limits its printing speed to around 50-100 mm/s. This slower flow can result in longer print times, but it’s often preferred for highly detailed models.

Amolen High-Speed PLA is designed with an optimized MFI to ensure it can melt and flow quickly while maintaining its strength, precision, and quality, even at high speeds.

    Why Amolen High-Speed PLA Stands Out

    Here’s a breakdown of the standout features that make Amolen High-Speed PLA the go-to choice for speed:

    1. Fastest: Supports print speeds of up to 500 mm/s with compatible printers.

    2. Strong Adhesion: Reduces warping and lifting, ensuring your prints stay secure on the bed, leading to fewer failed prints.

    3. Tangle-Free & Accurate: Clog- and tangle-free, designed for smooth, uninterrupted printing. With a precise +/- 0.02mm tolerance, your prints come out exactly as intended, with sharp edges and clean layers.

    4. Eco-Friendly: Made from U.S.-sourced, biodegradable materials, Amolen High-Speed PLA is environmentally conscious. Packaged in reusable, vacuum-sealed bags to maintain quality and freshness until you’re ready to use it.

    Available Color Options

    Amolen High-Speed PLA is available in 17 stunning colors to suit any project. Choose from: Black, Paper White, Fuchsia, Dark Grey, Sapphire Blue, Chestnut Brown, Forest Green, Lime Green, Carrot Orange, Apple Red, Ocean Blue, Eggplant Purple, Skin (Light Pink), Ice Blue, Lavender Purple, Sakura Pink, Sand Beige

    These color options allow you to bring your creations to life with vibrant, eye-catching hues that print just as smoothly as they look.

      Optimized for High-Speed Printing: The Perfect Settings

      To get the best results with Amolen High-Speed PLA, we recommend the following settings:

      • Nozzle Temperature: 200-260°C
      • Bed Temperature: 30-60°C
      • Base Printing Speed: 30-60 mm/s (for most prints)

      While the filament can handle speeds up to 500 mm/s, it’s important to adjust these settings based on the complexity of your model. For intricate designs, we suggest starting with standard speeds to ensure the best accuracy.

      If you're using printers like Bambu lab, we recommend sticking to the default mode for more complex prints, as high speeds might not capture the finer details as well.

      Can Your Printer Handle It?

      Amolen High-Speed PLA is built to work with modern 3D printers, but not every machine is equipped for such high speeds. Check to see if your printer can operate at 500 mm/s and maintain the required temperatures. Many newer printers have improved heating efficiency and mechanical stability, allowing them to keep up with the demands of high-speed printing.

      If your printer can handle these requirements, you’re all set to enjoy faster prints without compromising on quality!

      Why Choose Amolen High-Speed PLA?

      Beyond speed, Amolen High-Speed PLA offers several additional benefits:

      • Non-Tangle & Smooth Printing: No more frustrating jams or bubbles. Our filament is designed for smooth, hassle-free printing.
      • High Dimensional Accuracy: With a diameter tolerance of +/- 0.02mm, you can expect precise, stable prints every time.
      • Superior Bed Adhesion: Say goodbye to warping and lifting, thanks to excellent bed adhesion that keeps your prints secure.
