Prusament PLA Prusa Orange 1kg (NFC)

Product Description

Prusament PLA Prusa Orange 1kg (NFC) is a top-of-the-line PLA filament developed and manufactured by Prusa Research – the same team behind Original Prusa printers. The iconic shade of Prusa Orange matches the original plastic parts of Prusa printers, making it perfect for printing spare parts, accessories, or matching the appearance of the entire printer.

Each spool is manufactured internally with an emphasis on color consistency and precise diameter tolerance of ±0.02 mm. Thanks to its low shrinkage and easy processing, this PLA filament is ideal for large models with minimal warping as well as small, detailed prints with sharp edges, bridges, and overhangs.

The new generation of spools is equipped with an NFC tag based on the OpenPrintTag open standard. It contains key information about the filament and can be read using the Prusa mobile app. The tag is fully rewritable, works offline, and allows for easy integration into various material tracking workflows.

Main Benefits

• Premium PLA filament from Prusa Research
• Iconic Prusa Orange color – matches Original Prusa printer parts
• Highly consistent 1.75 mm diameter with ±0.02 mm tolerance
• Low shrinkage – suitable for large models with minimal warping
• Excellent detail rendering – easy printing of fine features, bridges, and overhangs
• Easy to print – ideal material for beginners
• Hard surface – abrasion-resistant (harder to sand)
• NFC tag (OpenPrintTag) on the spool for filament identification and consumption tracking
• Suitable for all FDM printers with a filament diameter of 1.75 mm

Recommended Use

Prusament PLA Prusa Orange is especially suitable for:

• Parts and accessories for Original Prusa printers in the matching orange color
• Design models, gadgets, figures, logos, display models
• Prototypes and functional samples without high mechanical or thermal stress
• Larger models assembled from multiple parts – low warping rate
• Education, school, and hobby projects – easy setup and printing

If you need higher thermal resistance or better mechanical resistance, the manufacturer recommends reaching for PETG, ASA, or PC Blend instead.

Printing Settings (Guidelines)

A specific Prusament PLA profile is available in PrusaSlicer for Original Prusa printers; the values listed below serve as a general recommendation for other FDM printers.

• Nozzle temperature: approx. 215 °C
• Heatbed temperature: 50–60 °C
• Recommended bed surface: smooth PEI, textured or satin PEI
• Filament diameter: 1.75 mm

Always check that the print bed is clean and degreased before printing to ensure good adhesion of the first layer.

Technical Parameters

Benefits of the NFC Spool (OpenPrintTag)

• Instant material identification – information about type, color, and other parameters directly in the tag
• Fully rewritable NFC chip – the user can edit data and use it for their own inventory system
• OpenPrintTag open standard – no dependency on a specific cloud service
• Offline functionality – data is stored directly in the tag, no internet connection required

Tips for Successful Printing

• Thoroughly clean the print bed before printing (isopropyl alcohol / soapy water depending on the sheet type).
• PLA usually does not need to be dried, but storing it in a dry place away from direct sunlight will extend its lifespan.
• A very nice surface can be achieved with PLA by wet sanding and subsequent polishing.
• For gluing larger PLA parts, cyanoacrylate (CA) glues work well.
