Matte PLA
WHAT IS MATTE PLA?
Monocure 3D Matte PLA eliminates that glossy appearance which dramatically helps reduce the visible layer lines. The result is an overall smoother, cleaner and higher quality look. Take your 3D prints to the next level with our specially formulated filament. Our Matte PLA range contains no fibres and prints at normal PLA temperatures and settings. It is high quality, reliable and most importantly, easy to work with.

HOW TO FINISH MY MODELS
FILLING
Wearing protective gear, apply Incredafill in thin layers.
CURING
Cure each layer for about 5 minutes using the UV light.
SANDING
Sand your model using a coarse grit sandpaper.
FILLER
Apply thin coats of spray filler.
SANDING
Sand using a thin grain sandpaper. Repeat the whole process until you achieve a smooth finish.
PAINT
Apply paint in thin layer and wait for it to dry between layers. Remove masking tape when paint is still wet.
APPLICATION & TIPS
Matte PLA is ideal for those who wish to obtain an overall smoother, cleaner and higher quality look.
For best results, the thinner the layer, the slower you print, the higher quality you will get.
PLA filament is an easy-to-use material that will print perfectly with a standard type of nozzle.
For good adhesion to the print bed and easy removal, we recommend installing a WHAM BAM Flexible Build System on your FDM Printer.
