High Precision PLA Filament 1.75mm Low Warp Multicolor 8 Shades

Brand: Yiqiu3D · Emergency signage fails quietly: a printed exit marker or floor sign is bright in a lit corridor and unreadable the moment the power goes, and one flat pigment green gives a sign no colour to work with. This is a rainbow glow PLA - a gradient strand with phosphorescent pigment - so a printed sign or decor piece shows shifting colour by day and gives off a soft luminous glow in the dark. It is a signage and decor material

Quick Answer

How does the glow work, and what makes the rainbow grade different?

The strand is PLA compounded with phosphorescent pigment, and the colour comes from a gradient run through the strand rather than a single flat pigment. Light falling on the printed surface charges the pigment, and the part then gives off a soft glow on its own in a dark room - a luminous effect built into the material, not a coating and not a reflective tape. How strongly and how long a part keeps glowing depends on the light it received and on the wall thickness, so judge the effect on a printed sample rather than from a photograph.

Is it right for my project?

Best for: Suited to phosphorescent displays, emergency signage and kids' room accessories that need afterglow - available in 3 colours; lead colour PLA Glow Rainbow 5. Not ideal for: Avoid for hot or outdoor long-term exposure; the glow pigment ages - choose ASA for weather use - available in 3 colours; lead colour PLA Glow Rainbow 5.

01 · Why this one

Product highlights

4 reasons

load-bearing parts belong on an engineering grade.

Rainbow is the lead shade and the strand carries a gradient rather than one flat colour, so a sign, a letter or a decor piece reads as a colour object in daylight and as a soft glow once the lights are down. The same grade also covers a second rainbow variant and a crystal variant, all on one PLA base, so a buyer can hold one print profile and one approval while offering three looks to its own customers.

1.75mm diameter on a standard round spool, 1 kg net filament per spool and approximately 335 m of strand, with a nozzle temperature of 220 °C. Diameter and the melt window are the two figures that decide whether lettering and thin sign walls print clean, and both are held per spool, so a spool can move between machines without re-tuning the profile proved on the first one.

Drop-in on the 1.75mm FDM machines a workshop, school or print farm already runs - Bambu Lab, Creality, Prusa and similar - on a normal PLA profile: no enclosure, no high-temperature hotend and no hardened nozzle needed. A standard spool holder or dry box takes the spool with no adapter. On thin sign plates print two or three walls rather than one so the part is opaque from the back, and keep the spool sealed and dry between runs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the glow work, and what makes the rainbow grade different?
The strand is PLA compounded with phosphorescent pigment, and the colour comes from a gradient run through the strand rather than a single flat pigment. Light falling on the printed surface charges the pigment, and the part then gives off a soft glow on its own in a dark room - a luminous effect built into the material, not a coating and not a reflective tape. How strongly and how long a part keeps glowing depends on the light it received and on the wall thickness, so judge the effect on a printed sample rather than from a photograph.
Will it run on the printers we already have on site?
Yes. It is 1.75mm filament for standard FDM machines - Bambu Lab, Creality, Prusa and similar - and it prints on a normal PLA profile with no enclosure, no high-temperature hotend and no hardened nozzle required. The spool is a standard round 1kg format and fits ordinary holders, wall mounts and dry boxes without an adapter. Signage is usually a flat plate job, so a first test on a small plate in your own profile is the fastest way to confirm layer bonding and wall opacity before a full run.
What nozzle temperature should I set?
Run the nozzle at 220 °C. That is the figure specified for this grade and it sits inside the standard PLA window most machines already carry, which keeps the gradient colour consistent across a long run. Bed temperature settings stay with your own machine profile rather than with the spool, so keep the PLA bed setting your machine already uses. If a fast profile shows uneven extrusion, reduce speed rather than raising the temperature.
How much filament is on one spool, and what does it cover?
Each spool carries 1 kg net filament per spool at 1.75mm diameter, which is approximately 335 m of strand. Usable length shifts slightly with run tolerance, so plan a batch from the slicer estimate for 1 kg on the 1.75mm profile you use and treat the metre figure as nominal. Flat sign plates use material faster than they look, so for a multi-sign order it is worth estimating from the slicer before fixing the spool count.
Which variants are available, and will a reorder match the first batch?
This grade covers a rainbow variant, a second rainbow variant and a crystal variant, and the lead shade is Rainbow. Every variant is dosed against its own reference and run on the same PLA base, so print behaviour and surface finish stay the same across the range and only the colour changes. For a reorder, quote the variant name used on the first order so the next batch is matched against the same reference, and send a colour target if you need a shade that is not on the list.
What is rainbow glow PLA best used for?
Signage and decorative work that has to remain visible after the lights go down: exit and floor markers, safety notices, wayfinding signs, shop displays, toy parts, novelty decor, cosplay props and kids' room accessories. It also suits printed lettering, ornaments and display pieces where the gradient colour carries the design in daylight. It is not a structural material - brackets, hinges, clips and any part that carries a load or sits in continuous heat belong on an engineering filament.
