Prusament PLA Lipstick Red 1kg (NFC)

Prusament PLA Lipstick Red is a premium PLA filament manufactured in-house by Prusa Polymers. Thanks to very strict quality control and dimensional tolerance of ±0,02 mm you get a reliable material for everyday printing as well as detailed projects. The Lipstick Red shade is a rich, vivid red reminiscent of lipstick – perfect for models meant to catch the eye.

Main advantages

• Integrated NFC/OpenPrintTag label – the spool contains a rewritable NFC tag (OpenPrintTag standard) with stored material data. Compatible with the Prusa application and ready for future support in a wide range of printers and ecosystems.
• Top dimensional accuracy ±0,02 mm – stable filament diameter ensures reliable extruder operation and consistent print quality.
• Easy printing even for beginners – PLA is characterized by low shrinkage and minimal warping, no enclosed chamber is required.
• Deep and consistent red color – ideal for design parts, figurines, prototypes, logos, lettering and decorations.
• In-house production in the Czech Republic – the filament is manufactured at the Prusa Polymers factory in Prague, with emphasis on quality and supervision of the entire process.
• High hardness, low warping – the material is hard and dimensionally stable, suitable for precise models and large prints.

Use and recommended applications

Prusament PLA Lipstick Red is ideal for:

• Decorations and design elements – interior accessories, stands, holders, advertising signs, red logos.
• Figurines, models and miniatures – figurines, cosplay accessories, character models, gaming terrains and props.
• Prototypes and concepts – quick verification of shape, ergonomics or part assembly.
• Educational and hobby projects – printing school aids, toys with low mechanical stress and various DIY projects.

PLA is generally not recommended for parts with high mechanical or thermal stress and for long-term outdoor use – above approx. 55–60 °C it loses strength and the material softens.

Print settings (recommendations)

• Nozzle temperature: 210 ± 10 °C (usually 200–220 °C depending on the printer and speed)
• Bed temperature: 40–60 °C
• Print speed: up to approx. 200 mm/s (recommended to adapt to the capabilities of the printer)
• Cooling: 100 % (strong part cooling for the best detail quality)
• Recommended build plates: smooth, textured or satin PEI sheet; it is also possible to print on glass with glue or other adhesive.

Before printing, always ensure a clean bed surface (degrease with isopropyl alcohol) and a properly calibrated first layer.

Material properties of PLA

• Material type: PLA (polylactide)
• Printing difficulty: low – also suitable for beginners
• Heat resistance: approx. 55 °C
• Warping: minimal
• Strength: good, but the material is rather brittle (hard, may splinter when breaking)
• Odor during printing: almost none

Post-processing and gluing

• Sanding: wet sanding is recommended to avoid local melting and clogging of the abrasive.
• Gluing: cyanoacrylate adhesives are particularly suitable (instant/superglue-type adhesives). With some PLA blends, solvents can also be used, but it depends on the specific pigments; with Lipstick Red it is safer to use classic glue.

Compatibility

The filament is compatible with:

• Original Prusa 3D printers (MK3S+, MK4, MINI+, XL, etc.)
• most FDM/FFF 3D printers using PLA filament with a diameter of 1,75 mm

The integrated NFC/OpenPrintTag label does not require any special support for printing itself – it is a smart add-on that simplifies spool identification and filament inventory management.
