Polymaker Gradient Matte PLA 1.75mm

Panchroma™ Matte Gradient PLA is a colour transition 3D printing filament that transitions between various colours and shades throughout the spool. Based on Polymakers PolyTerra™ Matte formula, this bioplastic filament is sourced naturally to provide ease of use, printing quality, speed and reliability. It is the perfect choice to easily create colourful or multi-shade models with a smooth matte surface finish that hides the layers.

Cycle Weight for Pastel Rainbow: 200g
Cycle Weight for Cappuccino: 160g

• Gradient Transition – PolyTerra™ Gradient PLA combines the incredible matte surface finish of PolyTerra™ PLA with a series of stunning gradient colour transition filaments. Each gradient has been designed to focus on a specific theme or colour spectrum, delivering a fun filament for hobbyists, educators and small businesses. PolyTerra™ Gradient PLA is the perfect choice for printing dynamic and unique vases, artistic creation, statues and some articulated models.
• Optimized for Support – PolyTerra™ Gradient PLA has been engineered with excellent support removal properties, enabling users to more easily break away support or rafts from the surface of their prints.
• High Speed Capable – Polymaker have engineered the base PolyTerra™ PLA formula with ideal flow properties to deliver a filament which is capable of high speed printing (only on suitable hardware).
• Bioplastic Matte PLA Formula – PolyTerra™ Gradient PLA is based on a newly developed material from Polymaker called FBC (Fully Bio Compound). It is a compound of high quality Ingeo PLA compounded with naturally occurring elements. The result is a PLA filament with less plastic content that feels softer and more ductile / less brittle on the spool. Polymakers FBC formula ​contains less PLA plastic to degrade which improves the speed of degradation under specific industrial conditions. Like other PLA’s, the degradation rate is still very slow in ambient temperatures.
• Ductility (X-Y) – PolyTerra™ Gradient PLA is softer than regular PLA, delivering improved ductility in the horizontal X-Y axis than standard PLA formulations. Whereas a test bar in standard PLA will snap when bent, PolyTerra™ Gradient PLA will tend to gradually bend and fracture in the horizontal axis.
• Compatibility / Jam-Free™– PolyTerra™ Gradient PLA is compatible with a wide range of 3D printers and is manufactured with Polymakers  Jam-Free™ technology which leads to excellent printing quality with zero risk of nozzle jams caused by heat creep ^[1]. PolyTerra™ Gradient PLA 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 – 50°C for better results (maximum 60°C).
• Uncompromised Quality – PolyTerra™ Gradient PLA filament is made with the highest quality ingredients including Ingeo® from Natureworks; a high quality PLA material produced from rapidly renewable plant resources in the US. 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.
