3D printer filament non-flammable?

Post by exxos »

I was looking to see what filaments are classified as flame resistant but could only find this.

It's something I never thought of until literally just because if plastic is being used anywhere near mains, then the filament should be flame resistant, but basically there doesn't seem to be hardly anything around with the UL certification. :roll:

It's only available in black or white as well.

I've no idea if polylactic acid (PLA) burns. Never tried it. Probably smells of burnt milk if it does.
Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.

I'll try setting fire to petg see what happens when I get chance. Maybe soak it in ipa to give it a bit of a kick first..
