>> Important about bed adhesion <<

The PLA is made from cornstarch, and may print slightly differently than the regular KiwiFil PLA pro/rPLA pro filament that is made from sugarcane.

If you have problem with bed adhesion, first make sure that your bed is clean. Remove any greasy fingerprints etc. with isopropyl alcohol and a clean piece of kitchen tissue. Increase the bed temperature to 65-70°C and the nozzle temperature to 220-225°C. Make sure the bed is leveled and that the “squish” is good. Print the first layer at slow speed (15 mm/s or less).

You may also want to add a brim to your print to make it adhere better. Additional tricks include putting blue tape on your bed, or add a thin layer of glue stick on the bed.

If none of this works, let us know and we will happily replace your spool.

>> Money back guarantee <<

Because this filament is made from 100 % recycled plastics, the colour and properties can vary slightly from batch to batch. The filament diameter is controlled twice - both in the extruding process and in the re-spooling process. We are also doing extensive test printing and mechanical testing to ensure this recycled plastic filament is as good as the virgin material.

However, if this filament doesn't work well in your printer, let us know and we will refund you, no matter how little is left on your spool.
