Product description
Product Description
Bambu Lab PLA Galaxy Purple 1kg with spool is a high-quality PLA filament designed specifically for modern FDM 3D printers. The purple base complemented by glass microspheres creates a distinctive shimmering effect reminiscent of the starry sky. The surface of the prints is glossy, smooth, and very attractive from every angle.
This filament is based on the proven Bambu PLA Basic, so it retains easy printing, good strength, and toughness, while simultaneously pushing the aesthetics of models to a new level.
Main Features
- Galaxy shimmer in deep purple – glass microspheres act as internal reflectors, so models shimmer and change reflections according to the light incidence.
- Glossy and smooth surface – ideal for decorations, figurines, cosplay parts, product packaging, and design models.
- Easy to print like regular PLA – low warping, excellent layer adhesion, and reliable material flow.
- High dimensional accuracy – 1.75 mm diameter with ±0.03 mm tolerance ensures stable extrusion even for high-speed prints.
- Compatible with Bambu Lab AMS / AMS lite – suitable for multi-material and multi-color printing.
- Supplied on a reusable spool – a practical and more eco-friendly solution compared to disposable spools.
Recommended Use
- design and decorative models
- figurines, miniatures, statues
- cosplay and costume parts
- packaging and presentation prototypes
- interior accessories, Christmas decorations, and gift items
Wherever you want an impressive, "wow" surface while using the comfort of standard PLA.
Printing Recommendations
- Nozzle temperature: 190–230 °C
- Bed temperature (with glue): 35–45 °C
- Recommended print speed: up to 250 mm/s (suitable even for high-speed Bambu Lab printers)
- Chamber temperature (if available): approx. 25–45 °C
- Cooling: active fan recommended
Note: the manufacturer does not recommend 0.2 mm nozzles due to the addition of glass microspheres.
For best results, store the filament in a dry place. In case of long-term exposure to moisture, we recommend drying at approx. 55 °C for 8 hours.
