Prusament PLA Prusa Pro Green 1kg (NFC)

Prusament PLA Prusa Pro Green 1kg (NFC)

Prusament PLA Prusa Pro Green is a premium PLA filament manufactured directly by Prusa Research. The Prusa Pro Green shade is a rich, bold green color used on original Prusa printers – it stands out perfectly on functional parts, covers, prototype models, and decorations.

Thanks to the integrated NFC chip (OpenPrintTag) stored in the spool, your printer and application easily obtain all important material information. Prusament PLA is manufactured with a very strict tolerance of ±0.02 mm and careful control of diameter and color consistency, leading to exceptionally consistent printing without the need for frequent corrections.

Key Benefits

• Premium quality from Prusa Research – filament manufactured in‑house with closely monitored production parameters.
• Prusa Pro Green color – iconic green suitable for functional parts, prototypes, and design models.
• Integrated NFC chip (OpenPrintTag) – the spool carries direct material data that can be read by compatible devices (e.g., the Prusa app).
• High diameter accuracy ±0.02 mm – stable extrusion, consistent layers, and minimization of nozzle clogging.
• Very easy printing – PLA is ideal for beginners, requiring no closed chamber or special preparation.
• Low shrinkage and warping – suitable even for large prints that do not warp or peel off the heatbed.
• Suitable for detailed models – handles fine details, miniatures, figures, and conceptual models well.
• Greener choice – PLA is a bioplastic based on renewable raw materials (e.g., corn starch) and can be repeatedly melted.

Recommended Use

Prusament PLA Prusa Pro Green is suitable for a wide range of applications:

• Prototypes and concepts – quick verification of part shape and function.
• Design and functional parts – electronics covers, holders, organizers, printer accessories.
• Models and figures – board games, miniatures, statues, decorations.
• Education and hobby – projects in schools, clubs, makerspaces, and home workshops.

On the contrary, it is not ideal for parts that are exposed long-term to higher temperatures (above approx. 55–60 °C) or intense outdoor environments – in such cases, it is better to reach for PETG or another technical material.

Printing Settings (approximate)

Parameters are based on recommendations for Prusament PLA:

For the easiest start, we recommend using the default Prusament PLA profiles in PrusaSlicer or another slicer, where you simply select the corresponding material.

Tips for Successful Printing

• Bed preparation – keep the bed clean according to the printer manufacturer's recommendations (isopropyl alcohol, or dish soap water for smooth PEI).
• First layer – pay attention to the height of the first layer; PLA holds well, but does not tolerate a first layer that is too "squished."
• Cooling – for sharp details, bridges, and overhangs, sufficient cooling is key; PLA benefits significantly from it.
• Storage – PLA is less hygroscopic than some other materials, yet it is advisable to store it dry, ideally in a resealable box or bag with desiccant.

Post‑processing

• Sanding – PLA is harder and tends to melt locally during dry sanding, so wet sanding is recommended.
• Gluing – responds well to most common superglues; for larger surfaces, epoxy glues can also be used.
• Surface finishes – painting with acrylic paints, primer sprays, and varnishes improve the appearance and can reduce water absorption and micro-cracks on the surface.

Technical Parameters
