QTS PLA-Pottery overcomes standard PLA's limits, offering a stunning matte finish and incredible heat resistance up to 120°C (248°F) after a simple annealing process. Perfect for artists, engineers, and hobbyists looking for a premium, non-plastic look.
6 Core Advantages for Professional 3D Printing
Unique Matte Ceramic Texture
Presents a natural, smooth matte effect that perfectly hides layer lines. Ideal for artistic creations, home decorations, and high-end display pieces, eliminating the cheap, glossy plastic look of standard PLA.
120°C Heat Resistance
After a simple 1-hour annealing process, the heat deflection temperature jumps from 55.9°C to 122.9°C. This rivals ABS and PETG, making it perfect for functional, high-temperature applications like automotive parts.
High-Speed Optimized
Specially formulated for smooth extrusion without clogging, even at speeds up to 300 mm/s. Perfectly compatible with next-generation high-speed 3D printers like Bambu Lab, Creality, and Prusa.
Excellent Printability
High tolerance and an extremely low shrinkage rate mean almost no warping. Strict diameter control (1.75mm ±0.03mm) ensures reliable, long-duration printing without extruder jams.
Eco-Friendly & Low Odor
Made from biodegradable materials, producing no pungent odor during printing. Safe for home, school, and office environments. Fully compliant with international RoHS and REACH standards.
Premium Taiwan Quality
Developed by a team with 30+ years of chemical industry experience. Consistent batch-to-batch quality you can trust for professional manufacturing and reliable supply chains.
How to Anneal (Unlock 120°C Heat Resistance)
Prepare Container & Salt
Fill a heat-resistant container with fine salt. Salt distributes heat evenly and prevents the printed part from deforming.
Bury the Print
Completely bury your 3D printed object in the fine salt, ensuring all surfaces are covered to prevent stress concentration.
Heat Treatment
Place the container in an oven and bake at 120°C (248°F) for 1 hour.
Natural Cooling
Turn off the oven and let it cool naturally to room temperature. Do not remove immediately. Slow cooling reduces internal stress and maximizes strength.
