Protopasta Protopasta Moonstruck White Satin HTPLA Filament - 1.75mm (0.5kg)
Protopasta HTPLA combines the ease of PLA 3D printing with the ability to heat-treat your parts post-printing to increase their stiffness at higher temperatures. It can be heat treated in an oven at 100-120C (200-250F) to increase stiffness and reduce warping with the best results seen on flat and/or supported parts with 100% infill.
- Prints easily like PLA
- No Hardened Nozzle
- Easy Heat Treat Process

Heat Treat for Great Performance
PLA and HTPLA are great for many applications, just exactly as they're printed, but once they're stored above 50C, they start to break down. Luckily, the HT is for Heat Treat! Or is it High Temp? Either way, it's a huge improvement to the part's thermal stability--up to three times standard PLA, or non-annealed HTPLA.
Simply place your printed part in your oven for a few minutes (larger parts will need longer times) at 100 - 120C (200 - 250F), and the material will crystallize and become much stiffer. Keep in mind this may warp some architectures of printed parts, so experimentation is required. The best results are with flat and/or supported parts with 100% infill.
HTPLA could be the solution to your printing needs.
No Hardened Nozzle Required
Many composite materials require a hardened nozzle, but not this filament! This material prints perfectly with a standard brass nozzle without any additional wear compared to standard filaments. This material is perfect for those who want to expand their filament library without having to make hardware changes on their printer, as it offers expanded possibilities without any drawbacks or complications.
Questions
Can you post a picture of how this looks connected to a Taz5?
I want to use Bond Tech Extruder for my taz5 3d printer. What settings should I change, such as firmware and extruder speed? please answer about my question.
Can you tell me how to attach the mount and cable to the TAZ 5 printer?
2 extruders on a taz6.... presumably this means you could print something using BOTH rigid (nylon) and flexible filaments.... how would you set this up?
How does this attach to my TAZ 5? Do I need to print a bracket? If I do, is it already created somewhere?
How can you attach this mount to the printer's rails when these extruders have to move laterally on the x-axis? All of the rails on the Taz 5/6 that accept T slot connectors are rigid and stationary and part of the frame. Instead this mount has to attach to the carriage assembly that rides back and forth on the x-rails. Not sure what printer this is really designed for but it is clearly not going to work on a Taz 5/6 printer as shown. Perhaps the documentation you are presenting is wrong or key details are omitted.
Hey Billy D,
My apologies for the delay on this response, it looks like this mounts on the top of the Z gantry out of the way of the print head and all of it's movement. So this system mounts on the T-Slot frame. Please feel free to reach out to us through email or give us a call if you have more questions!
