Isopropyl alcohol, also known as 2-propanol or isopropanol, is used as a cleaner for electrical contacts.
-Does not leave residues
-purity >99.5% isopropyl alcohol. It is NOT a dissolution
-Slightly soluble in water
Useful for cleaning the printing bed, as well as for cleaning the remaining resin on printed parts without a trace of stains.

SMARTFIL® PLA Light Weight expandable - Designed for those looking for lightness without compromising quality. Its innovative formula allows to reduce the weight of the parts by up to 65%, maintaining excellent mechanical resistance and a high level of detail. Ideal for applications where low weight is key, such as drones, model airplanes, models or large format prints, optimizing both performance and material consumption.
SMARTFIL® PLA LW (Light Weight) is a technical filament designed to manufacture ultra-light parts without sacrificing print quality or mechanical resistance. Thanks to its special formulation, the material expands during extrusion, achieving a weight reduction of up to 65% and optimizing material consumption.
Ideal for projects where lightness is essential —such as drones, mobile prototypes or large-format decorative pieces— this PLA offers a professional matte finish, excellent is compatible with most FDM printers.
Key benefits
Weight reduction of up to 65 %.
Lower material consumption per part.
Surface finish matte and professional.
Good mechanical resistance.
Printable without warm bed.
Ideal for large or moving parts.
Print Guide
Nozzle: 220–250 °C
Bed: 40–60 °C
Speed: 30–50 mm/s
Recommended flow: 60–80% of standard PLA .
Technical note: The expansion is directly proportional to temperature.
Higher temperature → Lower flow to maintain dimensions and stability.
Lower temperature → Higher flow to compensate for less expansion.

Step-by-step guide to printing SMARTFIL® PLA LW
Prepare the 3D file
designs with lightweight structures (honeycomb, thin walls) to maximize weight reduction.
If you are looking for maximum lightness, adjust the flow according to the desired expansion.
Configure the printer
Nozzle temperature: 220–250 °C (adjust according to speed and desired finish).
Bed temperature: 40–60 °C (can be printed without a heated bed, but improves adhesion).
Print speed: 30–50 mm/s for uniform expansion.
Adjust the flow rate
Reduces flow rate to 60–80% over standard PLA for maximum expansion and lower weight.
Important: the expansion is directly proportional to temperature.
Higher temperature → Lower flow to maintain part size and dimensional stability.
Lower temperature → Higher flow to compensate for less expansion.
Always perform a test piece to find the optimal balance.
Print & Monitor
Check the first layers to ensure good adhesion.
Limit the fan in the first layers to improve the bond between them.
Postprocessing (optional)
The matte finish often avoids sanding or painting.
If more strength is needed, increase the wall thickness or infill in the design.
