🔥Hi Temp PLA🔥 for 3D printing airplanes - for real? - vs ASA - how to from SoarKraft - Polymaker new

Published at : 23 Dec 2025

this video is about the new HT-PLA from Polymaker, and is it good for printing airplane parts. These particular type of thin wall parts are very complex and specific, but also very susceptible to heat damage ether from sitting in a hot car or in the sun at the flying field. RC planes are meant for crashing not melting.

See why I do this by watching

3d printed furball....Juicy , Juicy Stretch and a Stretch....what could go wrong?
Awesome pilots flying my designs altogether and having a great time.

SoarKraft is not affiliated with Polymaker in any way... everything in this video is my thoughts and options.

The SoarKraft airframes are 3D printed performance gliders that can fly in almost any conditions, fun to build and fly. Please support my channel by liking, subscribing, commenting or purchasing my airplane files. Thanks for watching.

I am not sponsored by any of them, but I do get a Amazon Associate link credit if you buy them... but not much... I do have a love / hate of Amazon, and the link is more to show you what the material is and this credit is hardly worth pushing, buy from whoever you want.
