K+实验室：THE K5™ COFFEE 灵感首发 | 咖啡灵感，回归自然

PLA Coffee – 新品首发，让咖啡香气陪伴每一次打印

咖啡，是日常生活中的一杯香气，也可以成为材料创新的一种灵感。当一杯咖啡被喝完，咖啡渣通常也随之成为废弃物。而 Kexcelled 想做的，是让这些被忽略的咖啡残余拥有新的可能。

于是，THE K5™ COFFEE 诞生了。以 PLA 为基材，将回收咖啡渣经过粒径与添加比例优化后融入材料，让咖啡渣从日常消费后的残余，进入3D打印材料之中。

THE K5™ COFFEE 的灵感，来自于对咖啡渣再利用的探索。

咖啡残渣萃取 ➔ 生物基融合改性 ➔ 增材制造与美学 ➔ 工业堆肥降解 ➔ 养分反哺土壤

我们将回收的废弃咖啡渣作为天然添加物，以PLA为基材，通过优化咖啡渣粒径以及添加比例，使得打印制品呈现独特效果的材料，同时打印过程中有独特的咖啡清香。这不仅改变了材料的视觉和触感，也让原本容易被忽略的咖啡残余，拥有了新的材料价值。让废弃物进入材料创新，是我们对可持续设计的一次实践。

从咖啡杯，到咖啡渣，再到3D打印作品——材料的生命周期，也可以拥有更多可能。

视觉、触觉与嗅觉的沉浸体验

相较于市面上普通的仿咖啡色材料，THE K5™ COFFEE 带来了全方位的感官升级：

咖啡入料，质感可见

自然咖啡纤维完美融入材料之中，打印成品呈现出细腻的层纹与独特的颗粒感，将典雅复古的色彩自然融入空间美学，有效遮盖打印层线，使工艺品和装饰品视觉效果更为真实逼真。

咖啡飘香，创作随享

打破传统材料的无味或异味体验！在打印加热的过程中，空气中会自然弥漫着淡淡的咖啡清香，让整趟打印创作之旅变成一次惬意的咖啡馆香氛体验。

丰富色彩与严格品控

两款烘焙灵感色彩：色彩灵感源自咖啡豆不同程度的烘焙状态——

太妃咖 Toffee Coffee（浅烘灵感）
绒雾咖 Velvet Mocha（中烘灵感）

亮点体验，开机即打

在保证美学与气味的同时，Kexcelled研发团队对其打印性能进行了深度调优：

细腻微粒，哑光自然：成品表面带有均匀自然的磨砂微粒，自带柔和温润的哑光质感。

轻松上手，成品率高：优化的纤维分布确保出料极度顺畅、不易堵头，打印成品不易翘曲，小白也能轻松打出高质量作品。

Broad Compatibility, Plug and Play: Universally compatible with mainstream FDM 3D printers without requiring complex parameter tuning, allowing beginners to enjoy printing right away.

What Can You Print with a Spool of Coffee Filament?

With its unique visual texture, warm feel, and natural fragrance, we recommend THE K5™ COFFEE for:

Commercial Displays | Large-Scale Art Installations

The rich coffee tones and natural texture suit art installations, brand displays, and visual merchandising in commercial spaces—transforming 3D prints from "plastic models" into integral design elements.

Eco-Friendly Living | Planters & Home Goods

Daily items like planters, storage boxes, and diffuser shells leverage natural coffee hues and matte finishes to bring a warm touch to any space.

Coffee Cultural & Creative Products | Coasters & Accessories

Since the material comes from coffee, coffee-themed products are its natural domain. Coasters, coffee spoon holders, and coffee-themed ornaments further extend the creativity of "Coffee × 3D Printing."

Coffee Lifestyle | Creative Storage

Knock boxes, coffee bean storage containers, and desktop organizers allow the material itself to resonate directly with its practical use case.

Troubleshooting Guide: Common PLA Coffee Printing Issues & Solutions

To ensure the best printing experience, K+ Lab has compiled the following troubleshooting tips:

Q1: Why does PLA Coffee string, bubble, or make a popping sound during printing?

A: Coffee grounds naturally absorb moisture, and moist filament leads to unstable printing.

Solution:

Thoroughly dry the filament before printing.
Store it in a dry box or multi-color system with relative humidity kept below 20%.

Q2: Why won't the model stick to the build plate, causing it to fall off during printing?

A: The nozzle height may be too high, bed temperature too low, or the build plate has grease/oil residue.

Solution:

Recalibrate the build platform and fine-tune (lower) the Z-Offset.
Thoroughly wipe down the heated bed with isopropyl alcohol (IPA) to remove oil residues.

Q3: Why is the model surface rough with visible layer lines or small blobs?

A: This is usually caused by printing too fast, incorrect nozzle temperature, or insufficient cooling.

Solution:

Reduce printing speed (especially outer wall speed).
Fine-tune nozzle temperature based on test prints.
Ensure the cooling fan functions properly and runs at adequate power.

Q4: Why are the edges of the model lifting (warping)?

A: This is typically due to insufficient bed temperature, cold ambient drafts, or poor first-layer adhesion.

Solution:

Increase the bed temperature by about 5°C and avoid direct airflow from air conditioners or room fans.
Enable Brim or Raft in your slicer software to increase the surface contact area with the build plate.
