Speed
Marginally slower than plain PLA, 30–55 mm/s. The mineral filler makes it less forgiving of high flow, so back off before you reach for a bigger temperature.
Bed surface
Textured PEI suits it — the finish is matte anyway, so a textured bottom looks intentional.
What bites people
The matting agent hides layer lines remarkably well, which makes it flattering for display prints and a poor choice for judging your calibration.
Slightly more brittle than standard PLA.
The mineral filler is mildly abrasive. A brass nozzle survives it, but expect a shorter life than with plain PLA.
