Product Details

  • Versatile Gold Dust Translucent HTPLA with Gold Glitter - With big fleck for maximum texture, Gold Dust Glitter Flake HTPLA has a translucent base with no color added, just big gold flecks. Print thin and let other colors show through or print thick layers and watch layer lines disappear. The flexibility of this 1.75 PLA filament gives you versatility and durability for beautiful parts from most standard 3D printers.
  • Finishing Variety - With the option to heat-treat, wire brush, or polish this filament 1.75 gives you plenty of different choices to give your finished product a different look. Our metallic finish contains no actual metal and has little risk of clogging or wearing your nozzle, and it won't make a glitter mess, but beware the printing is sure to be addictive! Metallic particles are relatively small but have some orientation effects, giving top/bottom surfaces more shine than sidewall.

  • Widely Compatible - Designed to work with most standard 3D printers this 3D filament PLA 1.75 has a wide range of compatibility that allows you to run a business or simply create premium pieces in the comfort of your own home.

Printing Proto-Pasta PLA

Proto-Pasta PLA in Gold runs on the PLA profile below, and this listing is a 0.5kg spool. PLA is best suited to PLA parts that must survive heat after an annealing step. Brands and even individual spools vary, so treat these as starting points and run a quick temperature tower to lock in the sweet spot for your printer.

210-230°C

Ranges checked against Polymaker data. Heat resistance is the heat deflection temperature (HDT). Read our HT-PLA filament guide for bed adhesion, drying, troubleshooting, and material-specific tips.

Nozzle Compatibility

This is an unfilled plastic, so it is not abrasive: a brass nozzle works and lasts, and so does hardened steel. With hardened steel, print about 5 to 10°C hotter.
