Prusament PVB Sample Pack 6x25g

Reference: PRM-PVB-MSP-150

This is a set of 6 samples of Prusament PVB filament. Each sample represents one color - Prusa Orange Transparent, Bright Green Transparent, Dark Blue Transparent, Light Yellow Transparent, Natural Transparent and Smoky Black Transparent. The weight of each sample is 25 g.

To make printing with the 25 g samples easier, we recommend using this special sample holder that can be assembled using two 3D printed parts and an empty Prusament spool. We also prepared a set of test models for you!

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?

MANUFACTURED IN-HOUSE BY JOSEF PRUSA

We were not satisfied with the quality of filaments on the market. So we decided to make our own! Prusa Research is the only 3D printer manufacturer with its own filament production.

PREMIUM-GRADE MATERIALS AND THOROUGH TESTING

The whole manufacturing process is closely monitored and tested – string diameter, color consistency, and mechanical properties – to make sure that every spool is perfect.

± 0.03 MM MANUFACTURING PRECISION

We believe the industry standard of 0.05 mm isn’t sufficient for perfect 3D printing. Instead, we guarantee ±0.03mm precision and highly-consistent colors in our filaments.

HIGH QUALITY YOU CAN CHECK YOURSELF

We are the only manufacturer that gives customers the option to fully inspect parameters of every filament spool. Just scan a QR code on the spool to see all details online (check the sample spool).

ABOUT PVB

Polyvinyl butyral (PVB) is a design material suitable for easy smoothing with isopropyl alcohol (IPA). Print settings are similar to PLA, mechanical properties are slightly better (similar to CPE or PETG). Thanks to the IPA smoothing it’s optimal for printing visual models, such as unconventional vases, jewelry, lampshades, and other design parts. It’s good to tweak print settings, especially layer height, number of perimeters, and infill density. We recommend printing with a large nozzle diameter and spiral vase mode.

Main PVB disadvantages are its low-temperature resistance (approx. 60°C) and layer to layer adhesion which are similar to PLA.

Concerning the great printability (similar to PLA), PVB is a great material for experienced and new 3D printer users that would like to try something new.

PRINTING SETUP

Nozzle

215 °C

Heatbed

75 °C

BASIC ATTRIBUTES

	Ideal for design parts, vases, lamp shades etc.		Low temperature resistance
	IPA chemical smoothing		Hygroscopic filament (absorbs moisture)
	Great surface adhesion		Low layer to layer adhesion (slightly worse than PLA)
	Good mechanical properties (similar to CPE/PETG)
	Low warping (lower than PLA)

Notes

This PVB is made in-house by Prusa Research.

1.75 mm filament is manufactured with the precision of +- 0.03 mm

Before printing, make sure the surface of the heatbed is clean as described in 3D Printing Handbook.
