Jaycar Australia PLA

http://www.jaycar.com.au/Tools-%26-Soldering/Power-Tools/Other-Power-Tools/1-75mm-3D-Filament-PLA---1kg/p/TL4060

Printed absolutely no problem at all in 0.29, 0.19 and even a 16 hour print in 0.09.

All with the following settings:

Z-Temp @ -70
Fan 100%
ABS profile
Bed pre heated but turned off when initiating print.
No shim





Extrudes no problem at all with no sign of delamination or any other issue.

Some retraction blobbing and hair, most likely due to ABS profile having some difference to PLA requirements, but very strong print with good surfaces.

Support removal was more difficult than ABS but certainly not a big issue. I haven't really cleaned this part up or hit it with the heat gun.

This filament is just too expensive, but is one of the few you can buy off the shelf in a common store in Australia, so if you're desperate you can pick it up and it will work.
