Panchroma™ Translucent PLA: Unique Visual Effects with Single Wall Prints
Rainbow Colour, Translucent Depth
Panchroma™ Gradient Translucent PLA combines a smooth rainbow colour gradient with a translucent finish, so prints shift and glow with light and viewing angle rather than showing flat, opaque colour. It’s built for pieces where light interaction matters — lamp shades, vases, ornaments, figurines and other decorative prints that benefit from a bit of glow-through.
Consistent Colour Cycle
Each spool is wound with a measured colour cycle (roughly every 160g), so the rainbow gradient repeats predictably along the filament — useful for planning where colour transitions land in taller or repeated prints.
Easy to Print and Reliable
Like other Panchroma™ filaments, the Translucent PLA offers excellent printability, making it suitable for a wide range of desktop FDM/FFF 3D printers without requiring special settings.
Ideal for Artistic and Decorative Projects
Choose Panchroma™ Translucent PLA when you want to highlight intricate details or create light-diffusing parts, perfect for lampshades, decorative models, and creative designs that benefit from a translucent effect.

Printing Requirements
None! This will print great on any stock 3D printer!
You will just want to print slower on stock, older style printers.
