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

Is there a difference between Panchroma™ Satin PLA and PolyTerra™ PLA+?

No! This is the same great material - just under a new product family name.

Is this material food safe?

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.

Is this material AMS compatible?

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

Do you sell refills?

We are sorry but we do not sell refills at this time

Is this material recyclable?

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.

What is Panchroma™?

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".

Can I mix and match effects into a single HueForge print?

This material will mix and match great with all other Panchroma™ effects, except for CoPE

Printing Requirements

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

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