In the rapidly evolving landscape of 3D printing, environmental sustainability has become a hot topic. As awareness of plastic pollution intensifies, innovative materials are emerging as viable solutions. We are proud to introduce our
PHA 3DESIGN™ Printing Filament (Coffee Grounds), a product that not only supports eco-friendliness but also delivers outstanding performance, catering to a wide range of printing needs.
What is PHA 3DESIGN™ Printing Filament (Coffee Grounds)?
PHA (polyhydroxyalkanoates) is an exceptional biopolymer produced through microbial fermentation. Its biodegradable and compostable properties make it an ideal alternative to traditional plastics. By combining coffee grounds with PHA, we have developed the PHA 3DESIGN™ Printing Filament (Coffee Grounds), which not only effectively repurposes coffee waste but also enhances the filament's unique characteristics and mechanical properties.

Printing Tips and Recommendations
To ensure optimal results when using PHA 3DESIGN™ Printing Filament (Coffee Grounds), here are some practical printing tips:
Bed Preparation: Using a PEI textured print bed can enhance adhesion. Make sure the bed surface is clean and free of dust and debris.
Printing Settings: Adjust the recommended printing temperature and speed based on your printer model. Typically, setting the nozzle temperature to 205°C and the printing speed to 180-200 mm/s yields good results.
Pre-drying: For the best filament performance, pre-drying the filament is recommended to ensure moisture content is below 0.5%.
Post-processing: After printing, you can enhance the appearance and performance of your printed objects through post-processing techniques such as sanding or painting.
