PLA Gradient
PLA Gradient
Eye‑Catching Without Compromise
This gradient PLA transitions smoothly between two soft shades every ~8–10 meters, turning ordinary prints into vibrant, visually stunning objects—no painting required.
Tough Layer Bonds
Built upon the PLA Basic formula, this gradient variation boasts ~260% stronger Z-layer adhesion (impact strength ~23.8 kJ/m² vs ~6.6 kJ/m²), meaning your beautiful prints are also reliably tough.
Smooth Finish, Real Strength
Expect tensile around 36 MPa, 15% elongation, flexural strength ~73 MPa, bending modulus ~2,270 MPa, and impact resistance ~61 kJ/m²—comparable to PLA Basic but enhanced for durability.
Play With Speed and Style
Optimized for speed, prints can run up to 300 mm/s with delicate finishing—ideal for bright décor, toys, and eye‑catching showpieces.
🎨 Best For:
-
Color-gradient art pieces and decorative models
-
Strong, decorative accessories that merge design and function
-
Smooth paint-free finishes with no-construction flair
