The PLA Translucent filament from the Panchroma collection introduces a stunning option for 3D printing, offering a unique translucent quality that brings depth and elegance to prints. Available in vibrant cyan, magenta, yellow, grey, and natural tones, this filament creates an eye-catching effect, especially in single-wall prints. Its translucency makes it ideal for decorative applications such as lamps, channel lettering, or other designs where light diffusion and visual appeal are key factors, adding a distinctive touch to any project.

As with all Panchroma filaments, the PLA Translucent line is crafted with precision to deliver exceptional printability and consistent results. The selection of colors complements the translucent effect, enhancing the interplay of light and material to achieve both functional and aesthetic goals. This filament is an excellent choice for designers seeking to create decor items or prototypes that balance elegance and practicality.

Printing with PLA Translucent is straightforward and versatile, with a recommended extrusion temperature range of 190-230 ºC and a bed temperature of 25-60 ºC. It supports speeds of up to 200 mm/s, enabling both rapid production and fine detailing. The filament’s spool is equipped with an anti-slip edge for smooth handling, particularly when used with automated material systems like the Bambu Lab AMS, making it a reliable and adaptable choice for a variety of 3D printing applications.

Like any 3D printing filament, the Panchroma PLA filaments should be stored properly in order to avoid their deterioration and, in consequence, extrusion problems and inferior print quality. The spool can be stored in an airtight plastic bag, in a resealable bag with a desiccant capsule, or in a smart filament container. If the filament has absorbed too much moisture, it must be dried before printing in a filament dryer for 6 hours at 55 ºC or in the PolyDryer solution. The recommended settings are setting 1 for Panchroma PLA Silk and others, and settings 1-3 for PLA Matte and Satin.

The Panchroma PLA filaments should be extruded at a temperature of 190-230 ºC on a bed heated to 25-60 ºC. It is recommended to use the cooling fan at 100% but a printer with a heated chamber is not needed. As far as the printing speed, it is recommended to use max. 200 mm/s for the PLA Silk and other Panchroma PLA varieties, max. 300 mm/s for the PLA Satin and Matte PLA, and max. 400 mm/s for CoPE.

Complex parts can be 3D printed with the Panchroma PLA filaments with the help of support filaments such as the PolySupport filament or the PolyDissolve S1 filament.

Panchroma PLA Glow and Panchroma PLA Luminous are glow-in-the-dark materials enriched with an abrasive additive, making a hardened nozzle essential for printing. These filaments should not be used in AMS systems with plastic gears or tubes due to their abrasive nature.

Extra Tools to Enhance the Printing Experience

To further facilitate the 3D printing experience, support tools such as app.polymaker.com, an interactive comparison tool for mechanical, technical, and color properties among different filaments, and wiki.polymaker.com, a quick and comprehensive guide on using our products and 3D printing recommendations, can be utilized.
