The Anycubic PLA Basic Filament in Clear, identified by part number AHPLCL-10, is a reliable choice for makers and designers seeking consistent results from their FDM 3D printers. This material stands out for its ability to produce clean prints without the need for a heated enclosure, making it accessible for hobbyists working on prototypes or decorative items. The translucent nature of this clear filament allows for unique design applications, such as light-diffusing components and projects that benefit from a see-through finish.
This 1kg spool of Anycubic PLA Basic Filament combines ease of use with professional-grade precision. It is perfectly suited for users who require bubble-free extrusion and smooth feeding through standard printers. The clear colorway opens up creative possibilities for translucent prints, while the generous 1kg weight ensures you have ample material for extended print runs without frequent interruptions to change reels.
To achieve the best results with this filament, we recommend drying it before use at temperatures between 45 and 50 degrees Celsius for a duration of 6 to 8 hours. This preparation step helps ensure optimal layer adhesion and surface quality. The material works seamlessly with ACE compatibility systems and is designed to flow smoothly through nozzles sized at 0.2 mm or larger.
Key Printing Specifications
Beyond printing parameters, the mechanical properties of this filament make it suitable for durable functional parts. With a tensile strength of approximately 48 MPa and an elongation at break around 8 percent, printed objects maintain structural integrity under stress. The melting point sits at 166 degrees Celsius, while the material begins to soften significantly around 55 degrees Celsius.
The technical performance extends to impact resistance and bending strength, with specific values measured for both X-Y and Z-axis orientations. This ensures that printed layers bond effectively, minimizing weakness between directions. The product weighs exactly 1000g per spool, providing a substantial volume of material for your projects.

Is this filament compatible with my FDM printer?
This Anycubic PLA Basic Filament is designed for standard FDM 3D printers that support 1.75mm diameter filament, making it a versatile choice for most hobbyist and professional machines.
What are the recommended printing temperatures and bed settings?
To achieve clean results with this clear PLA, set your nozzle temperature between 190-230 degreesC and use a heated bed temperature of 55-56 degreesC.
Do I need to dry the filament before using it?
Yes, drying is recommended for optimal performance. If the filament has been exposed to moisture, dry it at 45-50 degreesC for 6-8 hours before printing.
Can I use this filament with smaller nozzle sizes?
The manufacturer recommends using a nozzle size of 0.2 mm or larger to ensure smooth extrusion and prevent clogs during the print process.
What are the best uses for this clear PLA filament?
This material is ideal for projects requiring translucent prints, light-diffusing components, or designs where a see-through finish adds visual appeal, such as prototypes and decorative pieces.
