    Technical Printing Guide - COEX PLA

    1. Material Notes

    • Keep filament dry - store properly and dry before use
    • PLA is less hygroscopic than other materials, but proper storage helps maintain quality
    • If needed, dry at 55°C for 3 hours or more
    • Check for any visible damage before use

    2. Basic Parameters

    PLA (Polylactic Acid) is a biodegradable polymer known for its ease of printing, good surface quality, and dimensional accuracy. Perfect for decorative parts, prototypes, and general printing needs where mechanical properties are not critical.

    4. Retraction Settings

    Nozzle Distance Speed Z-Hop
    0.4mm 0.5-0.8mm 45mm/s 0.2mm
    0.6mm 0.6-1.0mm 45mm/s 0.2mm
    0.8mm 0.8-1.2mm 40mm/s 0.2mm
    1.0mm 1.0-1.5mm 35mm/s 0.2mm


    5. Temperature Settings

    Bed Temperature: 60°C

    • Wash the bed often for good adhesion - Use dish soap and rinse thoroughly to remove oils
    • Use bed adhesion products if necessary (gluestick, WELD3D)
    • Use brim for tall or large prints
    • Keep ambient temperature stable

    Extruder Temperature: 215-235°C

    6. Cooling Settings

    Cooling Configuration:

    • First Layer: 0% (fan off)
    • General Printing: 100% base fan speed
    • Bridges and Overhangs: 100% fan speed
    • Layers < 15 seconds: 100% fan speed

    Critical Considerations:

      • PLA requires maximum cooling for best results
      • Full fan speed helps with bridging and overhangs
      • The first layer needs no cooling for good adhesion
      • Small parts need maximum cooling

    7. Troubleshooting Guide

     Problem Solution
    Poor Layer Adhesion

     

    1. Increase temperature by 5-10°C

    2. Reduce cooling fan speed for first few layers

    3. Clean build surface with IPA

     

    Warping

    1. Increase bed temperature to 60°C

    2. Add brim (5-10mm)

    3. Ensure no drafts in printing area

    Stringing

    1. Lower temperature by 5°C

    2. Increase retraction speed to 45mm/s

    3. Adjust retraction distance

    Under-extrusion

    1. Increase temperature by 5-10°C

    2. Clean nozzle or try cold pull

    3. Check filament quality

    Poor Overhangs

    1. Ensure 100% cooling

    2. Reduce temperature by 5°C

    3. Reduce print speed by 50%

     

    PLEASE NOTE: These printing parameters are initial recommendations based on our experience. They may need adjustment depending on your specific 3D printer, environmental conditions, and the geometry of the part you are printing. Use these settings as a starting point and fine-tune them according to your specific needs.

    Tolerance: At Coex 3D, we use multi axis laser measuring heads to ensure a tolerance of ±.03mm.

    Quality: All Coex 3D printer filament is manufactured in our Green Bay, WI production facility. This allows us to ensure consistent quality for every spool through control of every aspect of the manufacturing process.

    Packaging: Every spool of Coex 3D filament is thoroughly dried in our industrial dryer before being sealed. Spools are sealed with desiccant in a 4mil thick vacuum bag.

    Tested: Coex 3D doesn't just sell filament, we use it on a daily basis. Our 50+ 3D printers are constantly running with our filament. We rely on our quality as much as our customers do.

    Great Filament

    Filament is consistent from one roll to the next.

    Great material bad spool

    This material print flawlessly out of a X1C AMS, however, it does need to respooled onto other spools. The COEX spools are a bit too large for the AMS to handle properly. I tried several prints with liners on the spool only to hand rewind and jams. Once respooled, it printed like a dream! 100% recommend. If you are using only one color, no need to respool, just run it externally.

    Thanks for the 5 star review Leo! I do think that we can help with some advice to make it so that you don't have to rewind onto a different spool. We run our spools in Bambu AMS units every single day. The AMS assist motors are fairly weak in our opinion however we have some simple tweaks that you can try and it should make a big difference. Don't hesitate to reach out to us with a phone call or an email.

    Coex Pla, Good to Go!

    Very happy with my recent purchase of Coex pla. It is great to know I can get a good American made product from so local to me, here in Wisconsin. Keep up the good work!

    Pretty good filament

    Unfortunately I won't be ordering anymore.
    Worked well once I got it dialed in.
    Big part of my decision is be cause of the spools. Tired of fighting them in my bambu ams.
