What is PLA
Type of plastic used in printing
Type of acid
Polylactic Acid. A biodegradable thermoplastic polymer made from plant starch, used as a 3D printer material. Often PLA is used as a short form, actually referring to filament made of PLA.

Which part of the printer allows the filament to exit (leave) the machine?
The build plate.
The base.
The nozzle.
The filament tube.
This is the core of the printer the plastic gets drawn in melted and pushed out.
Frame

Extruder
User Interface
The material that is used for 3D printing. It has the shape of a wire and is usually coiled on a spool.
Filament
