Idaho Production of PLA Filament for 3D Printing of PPE

4/10/2020

As the need for medical PPE has increased there has come to be a shortage of the materials used to make it. This is true even for 3D Printed medical items. The supply chains are not currently able to react quickly enough to deliver filament where necessary.

So at Slant 3D we have turned our 3D filament extrusion lines toward the problem and will begin producing affordable PLA for the use by 3D Printers, in our local Idaho and beyond, to make medical protective gear.

We have first released Transparent PLA to be used to print headbands and other devices.

For Pickup in Treasure Valley

This ProPLA filament was put into production to fill a local need for filament and can be picked up at Print Farm Beta in Caldwell Idaho (See product description for address)

PLA Filament Shipped Nationally

We have also made the basic transparnent pla filament available with shipping throughout the US. If you have a bulk order please contact us.

Came across this site and it’s one of the only sites I have came across in 3D printing community that is trying to profit from this pandemic. I have personally printed 3000 masks and surgical straps and donated them. It’s one thing to sell something at the material cost but these prices are profit making prices

I think CITIZEN has to look at it from another point of view. Firstly, this filament is extremely affordable and if made in the USA is even more so. Beyond that, my business runs on a lot of clear filament. Everyone printing in clear and donating things has created a real shortage because its a fun thing to say you're a hero on Instagram after jumping on the bandwagon.. But this company is one of the only things keeping us from being another victim of the Covid market collapse.

I received this item yesterday and within 48 hours of ordering. I immediately went to try it out and I found that it performed very well in comparison with high end glass/clear PLA filaments. I definitely will be ordering again!
