SunLu – Filament – Silky PLA+ – Dark Rainbow – 1kg – 1.75mm

Enjoy vibrant multicolour prints with this SunLu Rainbow Silky PLA+ Filament, offering various colours in dark shades and the easy fun of PLA Printing.

SunLu is ready to become your new favourite “Everyday Filament” for prints of all shapes and sizes with loads of colours to choose from, a range of different polymers, and great print quality at unbeatable prices.

When taking a good look at 3D Printing as a whole, we enjoy seeing there are so many kinds of 3D Makers. Some like to focus purely on decorations and aesthetic prints, while others prefer to focus on functional parts, and of course, many more like to blend aesthetics with functionality and enjoy the best of both worlds. We love to get as many different types of 3D Filaments as possible, especially unique filaments.

This Dark Rainbow SunLu Silky PLA+ Filament has shimmering dark shades when compared to SunLu’s Light Rainbow Variant – both of which captivated our attention.

SunLu Silky PLA+ Filament offers exciting advantages and is as easy to print as standard PLA Filaments. You don’t have to be an advanced 3D Maker to take advantage of its awesome traits. Silky PLA+ is polymerised from the same basic materials as standard PLA but is enhanced with some polyester-like additives which give it a sheen like no other filament.

These additives smoothen out the surfaces of prints, helping you hide layer lines and create an almost soft touch. This is ideal for printing pretty much anything! Silky PLA+ really shows its true benefits when printing toys and décor with a vibrant shine finish that stands out from normal prints. So, if you love the easy printing style and bright colours of PLA+, you can step up your game and start using awesome Silky Filaments like SunLu Silky PLA+.

Of course, as with any other filament brand, we encourage you to test out SunLu Silky PLA Filament for yourself. If you enjoy the colours, print quality and easy printing style of it, then take the next leap and test out other materials from the SunLu Filament Range.

So far, we’ve enjoyed each and every variant that we have in stock, and we’re quite certain that you’re going to fall in love with SunLu just like we did when first sinking our teeth into their range of materials and colours.

Please Note: The colours that appear on rainbow filaments are pseudo randomised, and as such we can’t guarantee the exact colours or the order of colours that will appear on your spool. However, after opening and “testing” many of these spools (we’ve got a fond spot for rainbow filaments) we’ve thoroughly enjoyed each and every one and the unique colour combinations they’ve each provided.

CCTREE PLA filament is the new kid on the block, and is rapidly becoming known as the go-to affordable 3D filament in South Africa, which prints reliably and packs a punch when it comes to quality, smooth print finishes. If you are looking for a daily filament which offers great printing results every time without breaking the bank, then CCTREE Filament is the ideal choice for you.

PLA (Polylactic Acid) is a biodegradable thermoplastic which is derived from renewable organic resources such as sugarcane and corn starch.

This makes PLA Filament a surprisingly eco-friendly plastic to print with when compared to other petrochemical based filament options, and the wide range of colours and additives makes it one of the most versatile ranges too.

PLA is by far the most commonly used 3D Printer Filament in the world, partially due to its above-mentioned environmental friendliness, but mostly because it is extremely easy to use and print with as well. PLA is great for beginners who are just getting started, as it has a low shrinkage factor compared to ABS or Nylon, and due to the composition of the plastics, it doesn’t need an enclosure to print large objects - which would typically be prone to warping or layer separation.

A heated bed is not essential, but if used and set to a temperature of around 40° to 70°C, a heated build surface can go a long way in aiding print quality and bed adhesion. Commonly used Bed Adhesion Aids for PLA filament include Blue Painters tape (masking tape), cheap hairspray, Kapton Tape, PEI and BuildTak. PLA’s glass transition temperature (when it starts getting soft and malleable) is around 50°C, and is extruded at temperatures between 190° and 220°C. However, just remember that printing small or detailed parts will require a part cooling fan for optimal results.

TOUGH YET FLEXIBLE

FIL X SBS

Did you know that you are in daily contact with SBS products such as the soles of your shoes or the tyres of your car? But how can SBS be used in FDM 3D printing?

SBS (Styrene-butadiene-styrene) has the unique properties of being both tough and flexible at the same time, thanks to its Polystyrene origin lending it a hard, tough consistency and the Polybutadiene giving it a bit more bounce with its rubbery properties.

This powerhouse combination offers, apart from good layer adhesion, no odour during printing and does not absorb moisture. Furthermore, it has been FDA and EU directive approved for food contact.

Fil X SBS filament is very easy to print with on a glass bed with some hairspray for better bed adhesion and best of all can be smoothed with d-limonene (also available from Fil X!) leaving you with a stunning finished product.

PLA (Polylactic Acid) is a biodegradable (under the correct conditions) thermoplastic derived from renewable resources such as corn starch or sugarcane. It is one of the most popular bioplastics, used for many applications ranging from plastic cups to medical implants. PLA in its raw form is also FDA and EU commission regulation approved as Food Contact Safe.
