In the field of 3D printing, choosing the right printing filament is an important aspect that affects the print quality and creative effect. For example, when printing many models, if a single color model is printed with one color of filament, you will feel no difference in the effect. But some models are printed using a variety of colors after the combination, for example, we print a number of color combinations of models, you need to use several colors of filament combination printing, then, a single color PLA filament there are obvious limitations, when we need to print a complex, colorful model, single-color filament can only be achieved through the post-spraying or many times to replace the filament to achieve the effect of different colors. This not only increases the production cost, but also requires additional time and skill, and may even affect the aesthetics and durability of the final product.

Why choose multi-color PLA+ filament?

Unlike monochrome filament, colorful high-quality PLA+ filament solves the problem of multiple color needs at once. It allows your 3D printer to easily print models with multiple color mixes without having to change materials frequently. For example, you can use it to print a multi-colored house model, a multi-colored windmill house or a complex multi-colored mechanical model. This convenience and creativity greatly broadens the application scenarios of 3D printing, especially in the fields of artistic creation, educational modeling, and decorative design.

On the other hand is the PLA + filament has environmental characteristics, both when printing, it will not product smell and toxic gases, after printing the finished model is also naturally degradable, are not polluting and affecting life, about more choices of PLA + filament description, you can look at this article: the most suitable filament for home printer: PLA + filament

In addition, PLA+ filament in multiple colors is a much smoother experience. This type of filament is usually finely tuned to ensure an even transition of colors, reducing the time and cost of printing when changing filaments causes us to manually switch filaments on the printer during the printing process. Therefore, printing with multi-color filaments not only saves printing time, but also makes the finished effect of the printed model more beautiful. What's more, it combines the eco-friendly characteristics of PLA+ material with high-precision printing performance, making it ideal for green creation and high-quality output.

How to select multicolor quality PLA filament?

When selecting multi-color premium PLA filament, you need to consider the following aspects to ensure that the product you buy meets your printing needs and delivers a high-quality printing experience:

1. Pick your favorite color

Before picking the filament, you can consider which colors you prefer, and whether these multi-colored finished models will surprise you after printing after the printed port-forming models. As well as when choosing colors, try to choose colors that are vibrant enough to be beautiful and ensure that the printed model is full of color and not dull. Check the pictures of the print samples provided by the manufacturer or the user before purchase, the actual effect is more reference value.

2. Material and performance

For homes, studios and schools and other educational environments, you can prefer high-quality PLA + filament using high-purity raw materials, no impurities or recycled materials, to ensure smooth printing and environmental protection. Then check whether the filament has anti-warping and low shrinkage properties to ensure that the model will not warp or crack after printing. Ensure that the filament is suitable for a wide range of printer models and supports stable fusing and output.

3. Accuracy of filament diameter

High-quality PLA + filament diameter error is usually controlled within ± 0.02mm. 1.75mm diameter accuracy to avoid clogging in the printing process, uneven output or nozzle wear. The filament surface should be smooth and bubble-free, which will directly affect the print of the interlayer adhesion and surface finish to ensure that the finished product is printed on a smooth and delicate surface.

4. Packaging and storage of filament

All filaments of UJOYBIO3D are packed in sealed vacuum packaging with desiccant to prevent moisture absorption. This is because moist filament may create air bubbles or affect layer bonding during printing, which will affect the quality of the printed finished model. Choose products with neatly wound spools to avoid interruption of printing due to tangled wires.

5. Brand and reputation

Choose brands that have a good reputation in the market, such as UJOYBIO, Esun, Hatchbox, Prusament and other well-known brands. These brands usually offer consistent quality and reliable after-sales service. Checking the feedback from other users, especially the reviews about color results and print quality, can visually judge the performance of the product.

High-quality multicolor PLA filament can significantly enhance your printing results and creative freedom. From rich color characteristics, material performance to brand reputation, all need to be carefully considered. So before you buy, try to compare as many different brands and user reviews as possible, test their compatibility with your device, and ultimately choose a filament product that suits your needs.

Does your 3D printer support multi-color PLA filament?

And the most important item, before shopping for a quality filament, don't forget to check whether your 3D printer supports multi-color filament printing. This includes the following aspects:

1. Printer printhead type

Combined multi-color filament printing usually requires either a single printhead with multiple feeds or a multi-nozzle configuration. If your printer only has a single printhead, it is recommended that you can add a printer accessory that supports the full functionality of the multi-color set.

2. Printing software multi-color settings

Before printing, you can first according to the different color modules of the model, the corresponding color selection configuration, to ensure that the use of the software can be a colorful model for accurate color feed settings.

3. Printing parameter adjustment

When using colorful filament printing, you may need to optimize the temperature, feed speed and other parameters to achieve better printing results.

Choosing colorful high quality PLA+ filament can inject more creativity and vitality into your finished 3D printed models. From the convenience of printing models with multi-color filaments to the precise performance of high-quality filaments, this is a not-to-be-missed upgrade option for 3D printing enthusiasts and professionals.

Currently in UJOYBIO3D's store, multi-color printing filament is doing New Year promotional offers, whether it is multi-color Hyper PLA+ filament series or multi-color metallic PLA+ filament series, they are all good choices, so hurry up to get your hands on them and let your 3D prints take on a new luster!
