Description

Polymaker PolyLite CosPLA Filament

PolyLite™ CosPLA is a special PLA formula designed for cosplay props application. It has been enhanced for ease of sanding, durability and paint-ability.
Both version of the formula feature more durability and ease of sanding compare to regular PLA, additionally:

  • Version A displays an even easier sand-ability and paint-ability.
  • Version B displays an even higher durability.

WARNING: It is important to wear proper PPE while sanding printed parts.


After a couple of formula iteration, we developed a PolyLite™ CosPLA which was able to outperform the durability of regular PLA while being much easier to sand and paint. However we found a way to improve the sand-ability even more and another way to almost double the toughness of the material. Unfortunately we could not implement both technology at the same time, therefore we decided to go ahead and release two version:

  • Version A with the first technology improvement to enhance the sand-ability even more.
  • Version B with the second technology improvement to enhance the durability even more.

It is important to note that BOTH displays better durability and sand-ability than regular PLA while being easier to paint.

What is the Heat Resistance of CosPLA?

During our market research we found 4 needs for cosplay applications:
(sorted by priority)
- Sand-ability
- Durability
- Paint-ability
- Heat resistance

Although PolyLite™ CosPLA solves the 3 most important needs, it keeps the same temperature resistance as regular PLA (~60˚C).
We have different formula which do increase the heat resistance but significantly compromise on the ease of printing. (which is often the case for 3D printing material: ease of printing and heat resistance are the 2 main properties which we all want in the same material but is the most challenging to develop).
As a result, as we already formulated a very high quality ABS with great printability and dimensional stability, we would like to suggest our PolyLite™ ABS for cosplay application requiring high heat resistance. (it also displays durability and sand-ability).
As an alternative we can also recommend PolyLite™ ASA which displays the same feature as PolyLite™ ABS with an additional resistance to weather.
