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

It’s a high-quality 3D printing filament made from advanced PLA material, designed for reliable, fast, and precise printing. It works with most FDM/FFF printers and delivers consistent results.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>What types of projects is this filament best for?</strong></summary>

Panchroma™ PLA is perfect for models, prototypes, miniatures, cosplay props, decorative parts, and general-purpose 3D prints that don’t require high mechanical strength.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Can I use this filament for functional or load-bearing parts?</strong></summary>

No, standard PLA is not designed for strength or long-term durability in functional parts. For those applications, stronger materials like PETG, ABS, or specialized composites are recommended.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>How fast can I print with Panchroma™ PLA?</strong></summary>

Thanks to its hyper-flow formulation, you can print at speeds up to 350mm/s (with a 0.4mm nozzle and 0.2mm layer height) without losing quality.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Is it easy to use for beginners?</strong></summary>

Yes! PLA has one of the highest first-time success rates, minimal warping, and low clogging issues. It’s a great choice whether you’re new to 3D printing or an experienced maker.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Is <strong>Panchroma™ PLA environmentally safe?</strong></summary>

PLA is derived from renewable resources like corn starch. It biodegrades much faster than petroleum-based plastics under the right conditions, making it a safer choice for home and hobby printing.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>How should I store the filament?</strong></summary>

Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using Polydryer Box or resealable bag with desiccant helps maintain optimal print quality.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>What colors are available?</strong></summary>

Panchroma™ PLA comes in a wide range of 28 vibrant shades, so you can bring any design to life.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Does it work with AMS or multi-material printing systems?</strong></summary>

Yes. The neat winding and tangle-free spooling ensure smooth feeding, even in AMS and multi-material setups.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>What Surface Finish does Panchroma™ PLA have?</strong> </summary>

Panchroma™ PLA will have a semi-gloss surface finish

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Do you sell refills?</strong></summary>

Yes!  We now offer [refill options](https://wiki.polymaker.com/polymaker-products/polymaker-filaments/panchroma-tm/panchroma-tm-pla-refill) for select Panchroma™ PLA spools with more coming. &#x20;

</details>

**Printing Requirements**

None! This will print great on any stock 3D printer!

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.
