Polymaker Panchroma Translucent PLA CMYK 1.75mm Filament 1kg

Are you looking to buy Polymaker Panchroma Translucent PLA CMYK 1.75mm Filament 1kg in Australia?

Panchroma™ Translucent PLA (from Polymaker) is a new range of PLA colours developed with a high translucency for single wall lighting and filament painting techniques. Most of the colours in this range have a Transmission Distance (TD) value of 7 or higher, well suited for applications such as HueForge filament painting, lithophanes or lampshades. Available in Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Grey, Translucent PLA is the perfect CMYK filament range.

Printing with multiple walls or higher infil, you can also use Translucent PLA for a wide range of general use applications.

Features

• Translucency / High Transmission Distance - Panchroma™ Translucent PLA delivers great translucency offering a Transmission Distance (TD) value of 7 or higher for a range of lighting and Hueforge applications. The Transmission Distance is the amount (in millimetre) of material required to significantly dim the light to a point where more thickness will not notably stop more light. For example a TD of 7 means that 7mm of material would be needed to prevent most of the light to pass through[1]. For the best light transmission and effect we recommend thin or single wall 3D prints and for the best colour blending we recommend thin layer heights (0.04 to 0.08mm) for HueForge application.
• CMYK Filament - Developed as a CMYK 3D printing colour range, Panchroma™ Translucent PLA deliver a high quality and consistent CMY (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow) and K (Key / Grey) colour with repeatable colour between batches. When printing with multiple walls, this selection of colours are also well suited for general printing applications.
• High Quality Raw Materials - Panchroma™ Translucent 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 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

[1] TD is NOT the thickness required to completely stop the light. It is not an exact science however it represents the thickness required to dim the light enough that even if more thickness is added the light will not dim much more. HueForge uses the transmission distance of the filament to calculate the print preview. It is important to generate the resulting color when blending colors together.

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.
