PolyLite Starlight PLA

The Starlight PLA filament from Polymaker's family of easy to print PolyLite filaments comes in stunning color options that create a color-changing effect depending on the light reflection. This effect is achieved via a manufacturing method called coextrusion. What's more, the shimmering effect of the filamet is achieved through the addition of very fine powder that is not abrasive and does not jam the nozzle.

PolyLite is a family of 3D printing filaments developed by Polymaker and manufactured with the best raw materials (polylactic acid) to offer exceptional quality and reliability. PolyLite covers the most popular 3D printing materials to meet everyday needs for design, non-functional prototyping or decorative uses. If enhanced mechanical properties are required, Polymaker's Polymax PLA filament is recommended.

PLA is one of the most common materials in the world of 3D printing thanks to its ease of printing, good results and wide range of colours. In addition, PLA does not emit fumes or noxious odours when 3D printed and is very user-friendly due to several factors:

1. It does not require a heated bed, although in case it is available, it is recommended to use it at 25-60 ºC.
2. It is printed at low temperatures (between 190ºC and 230ºC).
3. It is a material with an almost non-existent warping (deformation of the pieces with respect to the base).

In addition, thanks to Polymaker's patented Jam-Free technology, Polylite PLA significantly improves thermal stability by increasing the softening temperature, resulting in a jam-free filament.

The packaging in which Polymaker presents its filaments is highly studied and carefully designed to preserve the quality and condition of its filaments. In this case, PolyLite PLA is presented inside a vacuum-sealed bag together with a desiccant sachet to prevent the filament from absorbing moisture. This bag is self-sealing, so once the filament has been used, it can be put back into the bag. In addition, all of this is enclosed in a high quality printed box, to avoid knocks and breakages during shipping.
