The natural 1.75mm Ultra-Strong Pearl PLA from FlashForge is a high-gloss PLA and polyester blend filament designed to produce high-quality models with a silky pearl finish. Due to the added polyester, it is much less brittle than PLA. Pearl also maintains several of PLA's unique and desirable printing qualities such as low odor, high detail, and low warpage. This 1.75mm filament operates at print speeds ranging from 60 to 90mm/s and printing temperatures of 374 to 428°F.

Q: 5. I received this kit today in Australia. When I switch on the light, it was short-circuit. As I know, the voltage in Australia is 240V which is match with the voltage of this light. Can you tell me why this happened? How can I fix this problem?

A: While the Impact Soft n' Natural Kit #4 is compatible for use with 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, as we are located in the United States, the 12 x Eiko - SP27/50K Spiral Fluorescent Lamp (26W/120V) listed as included under the In The Box tab on our website are designed for use on 120V circuitry. When purchasing lighting equipment for use internationally, you have to ensure that both the fixture and the bulbs are compatible for use on the voltage used in your country. While we do not have a specific Impact Soft n' Natural Kit #4 that includes 220-240V bulbs, you may either purchase the Lowel 25 Watt Ego Fluorescent Bulb (220-240V AC), B&H # LOLE127E (which are the only 220-240V spiral fluorescent bulbs of this wattage which we carry), or you may look for similar options locally in your country.
