Print ultra-lightweight parts with confidence and creativity. This lightweight filament uses active-foaming technology to expand inside the nozzle and turn your prints into feather-light creations — perfect for RC-models, cosplay props, or large structural shells. You can reduce weight by up to 65% compared to standard PLA. Set nozzle to ~230 °C (or around 200-260 °C depending on your flow and speed), reduce flow to ~35-40%, and print at 40-100 mm/s. Use this for large wings, display pieces or wearable parts and avoid heavy, bulky prints. Get flawless matte surfaces and ultra-low part weight with one spool. With LW-PLA you don’t just save weight — you also get a smooth, matte finish that’s easy to sand, trim, paint or finish. Ideal for model makers, hobbyists, engineers who care about aesthetics and function. Load the filament, calibrate your extrusion multiplier (because foaming increases volume), print at ~230-250 °C, monitor expansion, and use thicker layers or perimeter walls to speed up builds. Great for shells, lightweight housings, or display items where every gram matters. Transform your 3-D printing workflow with innovative foaming PLA that cuts weight and material cost. Whether you’re printing architectural models, prototype shells or drone frames, this filament gives you the efficiency of lighter parts and faster print times. The foaming allows use of bigger layer heights or reduced flow, meaning you need less filament per part. Tip: start at 220-230 °C, print flow at 60-70%, increase only if needed, and ensure good bed adhesion. For finer detail, switch to conventional flow and lower temps.

This grey-silver LW-PLA filament from colorFabb is perfect for printing RC planes, cosplay items and other lightweight parts. Printed objects are very light, but retain good strength. In addition, they are easy to cut, trim and sand. The filament in the colour grey-silver has a diameter of 1.75mm and provides a matte finish. The filament starts to foam at about 230 graden, increasing it up to almost 3 x in volume. Due to the increase in volume, the weight can be reduced by up to 65% compared to normal PLA.Print recommendation for colorFabb LW-PLA (light weight PLA):Print temperature: 195 graden to 260 gradenHeated bed temperature: 50 graden to 60 graden (optional)Print speed: 40mm/s to 100mm/sPart cooling: offPlease note: due to the foaming technique, the colour may vary.
