Panchroma PLA Gradient Silk Key Attributes Material Composition: Made of standard PLA with specialized gradient-color and silk-effect pigments. Gradient Effect: The filament is engineered to shift colors gradually as you print, creating visually striking transitions along the Z-axis without using multiple extruders. Silky Finish: Offers a glossy, satin-like sheen that enhances the color transitions and helps mask layer lines. Eco-Friendly Packaging: Comes on fully recycled cardboard spools with reinforced edges—ideal for AMS systems like Bambu Lab’s, and reducing plastic waste. Printing Settings Nozzle Temperature: 190 °C – 230 °C Bed Temperature: 25 °C – 60 °C Print Speed: Up to 200–300 mm/s (for silk finish, slower outer-wall speed helps enhance gloss) Cooling Fan: ON—most variants (like silk) and the gradient types work well with standard cooling Drying: If filament absorbs moisture, dry at around 55 °C for 6 h. Compatibility: Works smoothly on most open-filament FFF/FDM printers; no special hardware is required aside from a PLA-capable hotend. Mechanical & Visual Properties Surface Finish: Glossy/satin effect that enhances color transitions and visually reduces layer lines. Visual Appeal: Gradient brings an artistic, eye-catching style to prints—perfect for decorative or display pieces.
