FAQs

What is the recommended print temperature for this filament?

We recommend a temperature range of 190°C to 210°C for optimal flow and adhesion.

Do I need a heated bed?

While a heated bed is not strictly mandatory, it is highly recommended to set it between 50°C and 60°C to ensure better first-layer adhesion.

Is this filament compatible with all 3D printers?

It is compatible with most FDM printers that accept 1.75mm filament. Please check your printer manual to confirm it accepts non-proprietary filament.

How should I store this filament?

Store in a cool, dry location in a sealed container or bag with desiccant to prevent moisture absorption.

Is this material food safe?

No, this filament is not certified for food contact and should not be used for kitchenware or items that come into contact with food.

Does this filament require a hardened steel nozzle?

No, standard brass nozzles are perfectly fine for printing with this PLA filament.

Troubleshooting

Filament is stringing during prints

Increase your retraction distance or speed settings in your slicer software.

Print is not adhering to the bed

Clean your build plate with isopropyl alcohol, check your Z-offset, or apply a thin layer of adhesive.

Nozzle is clogging

Perform a cold pull to clear debris and ensure the temperature is set high enough for smooth flow.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-precision diameter prevents feeding issues
  • Beautiful metallic gold aesthetic finish
  • Excellent layer adhesion for structural integrity
  • Reliable and consistent melting point
  • Environmentally friendly PLA material

Cons

  • Not suitable for high-temperature applications
  • Standard PLA brittleness compared to ABS or PETG
  • Metallic finish may show print layer lines more clearly under harsh light

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results, ensure your printer is leveled and calibrated for a 1.75mm filament diameter. Store the spool in a cool, dry place; PLA is hygroscopic, meaning it can absorb moisture from the air, which may cause popping sounds during printing or surface defects. Use a dry box or a sealed bag with silica gel packs when the filament is not in use. Always check your slicer settings to ensure the filament diameter is set correctly to 1.75mm to avoid over or under-extrusion. If the finish appears dull, consider slightly increasing your print temperature or reducing the printing speed.
