Similarly to the PLA Matte filament, the PLA Matte Rainbow filament by R3D provides outstanding printing capabilities due to its minimal shrinkage and ability to resist edge warping and cracking. This filament facilitates the effortless creation of large-scale models. In addition to its technical benefits, it guarantees a pleasant printing process by emitting no strong odors, fostering a secure and environmentally friendly setting in line with sustainable 3D printing methods. Parts 3D printed with the PLA Matte Rainbow filament present a matte surface finish with a color-changing rainbow effect.
Rainbow 3D printing filaments are engineered or designed to change colors gradually along its length or display various colors in a repeating pattern. In the case of the PLA Matte Rainbow filament by R3D, the transition is smooth from one color to another, offering a unique and colorful appearance to the printed object. Rainbow filaments can be used to create vibrant and visually appealing prints with intricate color variations, ideal for decorative uses.
PLA (polylactic acid) filament is renowned for its eco-friendly nature, derived from renewable resources like corn starch or sugarcane. This biodegradable filament showcases minimal warping during printing, making it ideal for use on 3D printers without a heated bed. Known for its ease of use, sustainability and versatility, PLA filament appeals to both hobbyists and professionals within the 3D printing community.
R3D is a brand founded in 2013 and one of the biggest filament manufacturers in the world with a daily output of more than 8000 kg. Their materials are high quality, reliable and environmentally friendly thanks to the spool and box made of recycled material.

The recommended printing temperature for the PLA Matte Rainbow filament ranges between 190 and 215 ºC, and the best bed temperature is 0-60 ºC. The recommended printing speed is 50-70 mm/s.
Proper storage of the PLA Matte Rainbow filament is essential, as processing damp filament can lead to polymer chain degradation, fragility, poor layer adhesion, stringing, and oozing. It's best to store the filament in a sealed bag with desiccant or in a vacuum-sealed filament container.
