If your 3D printer suffers from heat creep we highly recommend purchasing Polymakers PolyLite™ PLA or PolyMax™ PLA filaments. These two Polymaker filaments are manufactured with Jam-Free™ technology to prevent heat creep related jamming.
Of course with thousands of unique 3d printer models on the market, we can't guarantee each filament type will work with every 3D printer.
Q: Can PLA be printed at large scales without warping? A: One of the benefits of PLA is the ability to print large parts with excellent dimensional stability. Please note that while PLA materials don't warp in most situations, printing with poor first layer adhesion can cause any material to warp and printing or the heated bed too hot can cause any PLA filament to crystallize rapidly, creating internal stress and warping.
