# Panchroma™ Dual Special PLA

**Striking Dual-Color Blend**\
Panchroma™ Dual Special Yin-Yang PLA combines the deep, shimmering Galaxy Black with the smooth, noble Marble White to create a visually stunning contrast. This filament captures the balance between light and darkness, making your 3D prints true eye-catchers with dynamic, yin-yang inspired patterns.

**Easy to Print and Reliable**\
Designed for straightforward printing on most FDM/FFF 3D printers, Panchroma™ Dual Special Yin-Yang PLA performs well with standard PLA settings. For optimal results and to prevent nozzle clogging, a 0.4mm or larger nozzle is recommended. It supports printing speeds up to 200 mm/s and benefits from active cooling for best surface quality.

**Ideal for Artistic and Decorative Prints**\
Perfect for projects where you want to emphasize contrast and elegance, such as sculptures, decorative objects, and creative designs that highlight the interplay of dark and light tones.

Choose Panchroma™ Dual Special Yin-Yang PLA to bring a harmonious balance of color and texture to your 3D prints with reliable performance and striking aesthetics.

## Printing Tips

All Panchroma effects and colors, with the exception of Luminous, Glow, and CoPE will have no special requirements. You can print them on any printer in any setup.

* These materials are standard PLA options and can print with standard PLA settings.
* Silk and other very glossy options should be printed at a slower print speed so that the shine can be maintained. If you print these materials too fast, they will look more "matte".
* Do not print glitter/sparkle effect materials with smaller than a 0.4mm nozzle.
* Leave the cooling fan on at full blast for best surface quality.

## FAQ

<details>

<summary><strong>Is this material food safe?</strong></summary>

Unfortunately we do not have any data whether this material is food safe. As of now, no 3D printing material on the market is FDA food safe compliant. This is because in order to be certified as food safe, the actual object needs to be certified and not the base material. The shape, bed used, environment the object was made, and much more goes into getting a food safety certificate. As of now there is no real certification that the FDA offers for 3D printing.

<details>

<summary><strong>Is this material AMS compatible?</strong></summary>

Yes! All Panchroma spools now have hardened edges that roll great in the AMS

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Is this material recyclable?</strong></summary>

Unfortunately there is no great answer for recycling PLA at this time. Our cardboard spools are biodegradable but there is no great way to recycle PLA at this time.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>What is Panchroma™?</strong></summary>

Panchroma™ is a new family of engineered polymer compounds containing PLA. The formulations are fine tuned for each color/surface finish to offer the best aesthetic quality and printability. They can be reliably printed on any FFF/FDM 3D printer under typical PLA settings.\
\
All Panchroma™ products are PLA except for those listed under "experimental".

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Can I mix and match effects into a single HueForge print?</strong></summary>

This material will mix and match great with all other Panchroma effects, except those listed under "experimental".

</details>

**Printing Requirements**

None! This will print great on any stock 3D printer!  0.4mm or larger nozzle recommended.

You will just want to print slower on stock, older style printers.

Panchroma™ Matte is slightly more abrasive than standard gloss PLA - so if printing a lot of it - it may be worth upgrading to a hardened nozzle.
