The PLA Starlight filament from the Panchroma collection offers a truly unique shimmering effect that changes depending on the angle and intensity of the light, adding depth and intrigue to every print. This captivating effect is achieved through the incorporation of very fine, non-abrasive glitter powder. The powder is finely dispersed, ensuring no risk of clogging a 0.4 mm nozzle, and even works well with smaller diameters such as 0.2 mm, making it a versatile choice for detailed, high-quality prints.

As part of the Panchroma range, PLA Starlight is designed to offer both aesthetic brilliance and reliable printability. The Panchroma range consists of advanced polymer compounds based on PLA, specifically engineered for superior aesthetic quality and optimal printability. Each formulation is finely tuned for individual colors and surface finishes, ensuring the best possible results in both visual appeal and printing performance.

The Twilight shade combines blue and purple

Printing with PLA Starlight is simple and efficient, with recommended extrusion temperatures between 190-230 ºC, a bed temperature of 25-60 ºC, and a recommended print speed of 40-60 mm/s. The filament's spool features an anti-slip edge, ensuring smooth handling and compatibility with automated material systems like the Bambu Lab AMS, providing a reliable and adaptable option for a variety of 3D printing projects.

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.
