Panchroma™ Galaxy PLA 3D Printer Filament

Panchroma™ Galaxy PLA brings a dramatic, cosmic look to 3D prints by blending rich base tones with ultra-fine glitter flakes. Unlike coarse glitter filaments that can cause nozzle wear and frequent clogs, its specially engineered particles are non-abrasive and pass smoothly through standard 0.4mm brass nozzles.

Formulated for smooth extrusion and reliable performance, Panchroma™ Galaxy PLA handles print speeds up to 200 mm/s while maintaining sharp detail definition and low warping. The dark, glittering finish effectively masks layer lines, producing clean, professional-looking models directly off the build plate.

This material is particularly suited for display pieces, sci-fi props, decorative items, figurines, and artistic models where a dark, shimmering surface adds visual depth. It prints effortlessly on standard open FDM/FFF printers without requiring a heated enclosure.

Panchroma™ Galaxy PLA operates on standard PLA temperature profiles, offering simple setup, strong bed adhesion, and complete compatibility with AMS and multi-material systems.
