It needs no enclosure, no hardened nozzle on the unfilled grade, and no chamber heating, which makes it the most accessible way to move a functional part out of standard PLA without stepping up to ABS, ASA or polycarbonate. FilamentHub stocks PLA HT in Australia in both unfilled and glass fibre reinforced grades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStandard PLA has a glass transition temperature near 60°C. Above that point parts soften, sag under load, and lose dimensional accuracy. PLA HT is formulated to push that service temperature higher, so parts survive conditions that routinely destroy standard PLA prints: a car interior in an Australian summer, a shed or garage in February, an enclosure sitting next to a motor or power supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"fh-grid\"\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"fh-card fh-blue\"\u003e\n    \u003ch2\u003eWhat Is PLA High Temp Filament?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003ePLA HT is a high-temperature grade of PLA formulated for better heat resistance than standard PLA while keeping the same easy printing behaviour.
