The PolyTerra Dual PLA is a PLA filament created by Polymaker as part of their PolyTerra filament family. The PolyTerra materials are sustainable bioplastics characterized by ease of use, high printing quality, speed and reliability, as well as eco-friendly packaging and increased biodegradability (in industrial conditions). PolyTerra PLA also stands out due to its stunning matte finish, a wide range of colors, and ease of post-processing by painting and sanding.
Polymaker spools are compatible with advanced multi-material systems, ensuring seamless and hassle-free integration with printers using these systems.
PolyTerra Dual PLA is a filament available in numerous color options, each being a unique combination of two colors creating a color changing effect. The available colors are:
PolyTerra Dual PLA prints just like standard PLA, with an extrusion temperature of 190-230 ºC, a bed temperature of 25-60 ºC, and a recommended printing speed of 30-70 mm/s. More instructions and information about the PolyTerra Dual PLA filament can be found in the Downloads section.
In the download section you will find the STL and STEP files to 3D print your own Polymaker spool adapter. This durable spool adapter helps reduce friction by creating a structured running surface, and also avoids the dust build-up associated with similar adapter solutions. The spool adapter was created with the Polymaker cardboard spools in mind to compensate for any spool deformation that could influence spool stability.
This Polymaker spool adapter is compatible with all multi-material stations, such as Bambu Lab's AMS or Ultimaker's Material Station. Printing the adapter requires about 40 minutes and 30 g of filament. Recommended materials are PLA, PolyLite PETG, PolyLite ASA or PolyMax PLA for durability and longevity. To extend the life of the spool adapter, Polymaker suggests first removing the locating pin before removing the edge clips to reduce stress on the adapter when changing spools.
All products come with printing profiles optimized for BambuStudio, the dedicated software by Bambu Lab. Considering that many BambuLab users are new to 3D printing, preconfigured settings are provided to ensure high-quality results from the very first print, without requiring previous experience. This allows both beginners and experienced users to take full advantage of Polymaker filaments with total confidence.

PolyTerra Dual PLA should be properly stored to avoid the filament from getting humid. An ideal solution is to store it in a vacuum sealed packaging (with the Slice Engineering filament drying capsule for even better results), an intelligent filament container or in the PolyBox storage box that keeps the filament dry during printing. If the filament absorbs too much moisture, it should be dried at 55 ºC for 6 hours.
The recommended printing settings for the PolyTerra Dual PLA filament are a 190-230 ºC extrusion temperature at a speed of 30-70 mm/s, on a bed heated to 25-60 ºC, with the layer fan turned on. More printing instructions can be found in the product's technical datasheet in the Downloads section.
Complex structures can be 3D printed with the PolyTerra Dual PLA and a support filament, for example the PolySupport filament. A 3D printer with at least two extruders is required to print with supports.
