Crystal Rainbow PLA 1.75mm 1kg

Brand: Yiqiu3D · Glow-through effects need real translucency — this crystal rainbow PLA is semi-transparent, so light passes through prints and gradients shift as you move, giving lamps, ornaments and art pieces an effect opaque filament can't deliver.

Quick Answer

Why is this PLA semi-transparent?

It uses a crystal-grade PLA base with reduced pigment load plus light-diffusing additives, so light transmits through walls and the blended colors create shifting gradients as the viewing angle changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is this PLA semi-transparent?
It uses a crystal-grade PLA base with reduced pigment load plus light-diffusing additives, so light transmits through walls and the blended colors create shifting gradients as the viewing angle changes.
Is it compatible with my printer?
Yes — it is a 1.75mm PLA that runs on Bambu Lab, Prusa, Anycubic and Creality machines with a standard PLA profile.
What settings give the best glow?
Nozzle 220°C per the card, bed 50-60°C, and use thin walls with 0% or low infill — the glow-through effect is strongest when light passes cleanly through the shell.
How much can I print from one spool?
A 1kg spool holds roughly 330m of 1.75mm filament, enough for several lamp shades or ornaments depending on wall thickness.
What crystal colors are available?
Five crystal colorways: Transparent Green, Transparent Pink, Blue-Purple-Yellow, Blue Illusion and Pink-Green-Orange, with batch-controlled clarity.
What print speed range works?
30-60mm/s works well; 30-40mm/s gives the cleanest translucent surfaces with fewer bubbles or streaks.
What should I print with crystal PLA?
Anything that shows light: lamp shades, ornaments, jewelry, art pieces and light-diffuser covers where translucency is the whole point.
How should it be stored?
Store sealed and dry below 40% relative humidity, away from prolonged direct sunlight which can yellow translucent plastics over time.
