PLA Basic Gradient – With Spool-Dusk Glare – Bambu Lab
Soft two-colour gradient
The smooth transition between the two colours creates a bright and striking visual effect on the printed patterns.
Demonstration of gradient prints
The gradient colours make them ideal for printing beautiful toys or decorative items.
High printing speed with fine coating
Print speeds up to 300 mm/s (with 0.4 mm nozzle) while maintaining a delicate and precise surface.
Gradient length 8-10 metres
Smaller models that use less filament will have a less pronounced gradient.
Excellent bonding between layers
As new colour variants in the PLA Basic series, gradient filaments retain the characteristics of standard PLA Basic,
while providing even better bonding between layers and greater durability.
This reduces the risk of breakage of printed parts.
