Panchroma™ Translucent Rainbow PLA is a new vibrant rainbow 3D printing filament that combines ease of use, printing quality, speed and reliability. Polymakers Panchroma™ Translucent PLA formula offers good light transmission when printing thin walled vases and lampshades or can be printed with more opacity via the use of higher infil or perimeters. Combined with gradient technology, Panchroma™ Translucent Rainbow PLA is perfect for a wide range of applications, whether it be for translucent lampshade / lighting applications or more opaque general use applications that simply require a vibrant rainbow gradient colour.

Features

• Gradient Transition - Panchroma™ Translucent Gradient PLA combines a subtle translucent effect with a vibrant rainbow colour range. Panchroma™ Translucent Gradient PLA delivers a unique and colourful gradient transition perfect for a wide range of fun tinkets, vases, lampshades, articulated models, statues and figurines.
• Translucency - Panchroma™ Translucent Rainbow PLA delivers great translucency for a range of unique lighting appplications. For the best light transmission and effect we recommend thin or single wall 3D prints. When printing with higher infil or greater thicknesses, the models will have more opacity.
• High Quality Raw Materials - Panchroma™ Translucent Rainbow PLA filament is made with the highest quality ingredients including Ingeo® from Natureworks. Natureworks is a world-leading biopolymers supplier based in the USA with a portfolio of high quality raw PLA materials produced from rapidly renewable plant resources. Combining Polymakers innovative R&D technologies, compounding and extrusion systems with Natureworks Ingeo® resins produces a reliable 3D printing filament to print beautiful and accurate models
• Compatibility In Mind - Panchroma™ Translucent Rainbow PLA is compatible with a wide range of 3D printers and works well on most printing surface with a thin layer of glue stick applied, no heated bed is required but can sometimes be used at 40 - 60°C for better results (maximum 60°C).
• Cardboard spool with coated edge - Panchroma filament comes in upgraded packaging, featuring an enhanced coating on the edge and a fully recycled cardboard spool and box. The hard edge not only prevents the dust from fraying cardboard but also protects the edge from deformation and delamination, ideal for some multi-material systems.

Printing Settings

• Nozzle Temperature: 190°C - 230°C
• Build Plate Temperature: 25°C - 60°C
• Build Surface Temperature: Works well with most build surfaces i.e Glass, Blue Tape, BuildTak® etc
• Build Surface Treatment: Can apply Magigoo Original or PVA glue to the build surface to improve adhesion.
• Cooling Fan: ON
• Printing Speed: Up to 200mm/s
• Recommended Support Material: 
  • Single Extrusion:
    • Self Support
  • Dual Extrusion: 
    • PolyDissolve™ S1 (Dissolve in tap water)
    • PolySupport™ for PLA (Easy break-away support material)

The above are printing recommendations based on 0.4 mm nozzle. Please note ideal printing conditions may vary depending on your 3D printer setup. For high speed 3D printers, make sure to increase your extrusion temperature in order to use higher printing speeds.

Specifications

• Net Weight: 1kg
• Material Type: Translucent PLA
• Density: 1.19 (g/cm3)

Compatibility

Panchroma™ Translucent PLA has been engineered with compatibility in mind to print excellently on a wide range of 3D printers. Please note that some optical filament detection switches can falsely trigger or fail to detect some clear, transparent or semi-translucent filaments. If your printer faces false filament runout triggers, the optical detection switch will need to be disabled.

High rigidity materials like Panchroma™ Translucent PLA work best in set ups where the filament guide system is smooth and as no harsh bends.

Of course with thousands of unique 3d printer models on the market, we can't guarantee each filament type will work with every 3D printer. Slicer experience and setting adjustment is always required to get the most out of a material. Before jumping into an ambitious project we always recommend printing some known calibration tests to build or make adjustments to the filament profile.
