Multicolor HTPLA

Proto-Pasta is a renowned manufacturer of high quality 3D printing filaments specialising in PLA or ABS based materials. Multicolour HTPLA filament is a high quality enhanced PLA filament with colour transitions available in various shades.

Proto-pasta's multicolour HTPLA filament spools can be easily printed on any FFF/FDM 3D printer. PLA is one of the most widely used materials in 3D printing today because it does not give off harmful gases and it is very easy to print with it, as it is not essential to have a heated bed.

PLA (lactic polyacid) is a biodegradable plastic obtained from natural resources. Specifically, it is obtained from starch extracted from corn, sugar beet and wheat.

Thanks to its special formulation, this material prints like standard PLA, while maintaining its printability. In addition, parts printed with this material can be heat-treated, improving their mechanical properties and achieving a much higher thermal resistance than standard PLA, ABS or PET.

However, the most striking feature of the multicoloured HTPLA filament is its colour transition. Multicoloured HTPLA filaments have different gradients between colours. This mix varies according to the colour chosen and, by its nature, can vary slightly from one spool to another.

Colour gradient 3D printing produces parts with beautiful visual effects, giving each part a unique and special finish. This feature is very useful when 3D printing decorative parts.

Because of all its properties and its special finish, this filament allows to obtain eye-catching parts with good mechanical properties with great reliability and ease of printing.
