What is the heat resistance of PolyLite™ CosPLA?

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

Although PolyLite™ CosPLA meets the 3 most important requirements, it maintains the same temperature resistance as regular PLA (~60˚C).
We have different formulas that increase heat resistance but make significant compromises in ease of printing (which is often the case with 3D printing materials: ease of printing and heat resistance are the two main properties we all want in a material, but are the most challenging to develop).
Since we have already developed a very high quality ABS with excellent printability and dimensional stability, we would like to recommend our PolyLite™ ABS for cosplay applications that require high heat resistance (it also excels in durability and sand resistance).
Alternatively, we can also recommend PolyLite™ ASA, which has the same properties as PolyLite™ ABS and is also weather-resistant.

Main differences between version A and version B

1. Durability and impact resistance :

   • Version A : Offers good mechanical properties and is ideal for less stressed parts and accessories.
   • Version B : Contains impact modifiers that make the filament particularly tough and resistant, ideal for heavily loaded parts.

2. Scope of application :

   • Version A : Perfect for detailed and aesthetically pleasing cosplay parts that do not have to withstand high mechanical stress.
   • Version B : Suitable for parts that must withstand mechanical stress and shocks, such as swords, shields and axes.

3. Post-processing :

   • Both versions are easy to sand and paint, with version B having higher mechanical strength and therefore being more robust.

Conclusion

Choosing between Polymaker PolyLite PLA CosPLA Version A and Version B depends on the specific needs of your project. If you need detailed, aesthetically pleasing cosplay parts, Version A is an excellent choice. For projects that require higher mechanical strength and shock resistance, Version B offers the necessary robustness and durability.

Conclusion

PolyLite™ CosPLA Version B from Polymaker is the ideal filament for all cosplay enthusiasts and creative minds who want to create robust and detailed projects. With its improved durability and easy workability, you can easily turn your creative ideas into reality.

Take advantage of PolyLite™ CosPLA and take your cosplay creations to the next level!
