Bambu Lab PLA Palette Series
Achieve over 180 color combinations with 5 basic colors
There is no need to have a large supply of filament in various colors. By combining 5 carefully designed PLA filaments with layer-based color mixing technology, it expands the possibilities of creating multicolor 3D prints.
A wide range of color variations in a single 3D printer
There is no need to have a huge collection of different colored filaments. By layering and mixing 5 carefully selected basic colors, PLA Palette achieves over 180 color combinations.
Simply by having a set of 5 filaments, the color palette for 3D printing becomes even richer.
Key points of mixing 5 colors: PLA Palette does not simply increase the number of filament colors, but by combining layers of different colors, it creates rich visual expressions from a limited set of basic colors.
Not just shades, but deep colors
When layering general translucent filaments multiple times, the light passing through may create a blurry impression.
PLA Palette combines 4 opaque base colors (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, White) and 1 translucent black to give color depth.
The 4 opaque base colors use the PLA Basic base formulation, with pigments mixed in precise ratios.
According to product data, under a wall thickness of 2 mm, the light transmittance of the opaque base colors is less than 1%. This makes it easier to achieve vivid color reproduction and clear coverage.
4 Opaque Basic Colors
Provides solid coverage of the base layer, supporting vivid and clear modeling expressions.
Add Depth with Translucent Black
The light transmittance of black decreases as the thickness increases, allowing shadows to be gradually deepened depending on the number of layers.
Clearly express color boundaries and details even with frequent color changes
The finish of color layering depends on whether different colors can be clearly separated.
PLA Palette uses the PLA Basic base resin instead of a conventional translucent formulation, aiming to suppress stringing during retraction and extrusion, as well as resin leakage.
Even in models with dense color changes, it supports clearer color transitions and fine boundary expressions.
Preview color mixing effects in Bambu Studio before printing
There is no need to rely solely on test prints to predict the color mixing finish. Bambu Studio includes PLA Palette color mixing data, allowing you to preview the expected colors at the slicing stage.
Select Color Mixing Settings
In the corresponding Bambu Studio workflow, select the color mixing configuration to use.
Preview Model Colors
In the slice preview, check the finish image based on the color combinations.
Start Printing
Check the materials, equipment, and print settings, and start multicolor printing.
Usage Precautions: The software preview is the expected color expression. The actual finish may vary depending on the layer height, model structure, print parameters, and lighting conditions when viewing.
Easily manage filament settings with RFID smart identification
PLA Palette supports Bambu Lab's RFID filament identification feature.
It transmits filament information and related parameters to the AMS system via RFID, reducing manual setup steps and making filament management more convenient.
For users who frequently create works using multiple colors, smart identification helps streamline pre-print preparation.
PLA Palette Usage Recommendations and Precautions
To maintain stable print quality and color expression, please check equipment compatibility, filament dryness, and related safety precautions before use.
1. Equipment and Accessory Compatibility
PLA Palette is based on the PLA Basic formulation, and according to the original product data, it can be used with various printers, AMS, build plates, and nozzles.
However, support for standard PLA printing and the availability of the 5-color layered mixing feature on all equipment are not the same.
When using the color mixing workflow, please check whether the version of Bambu Studio, printer, and filament supply system you are using support the related features.
2. Filament Drying and Storage
To ensure optimal print quality and consistency, it is recommended to dry the filament before use according to the manufacturer's instructions.
After use, store the filament in a dry environment, and minimize the impact of moisture absorption on print quality.
For opened or suspected moisture-absorbed filaments, please process them according to the manufacturer-recommended drying temperature and time.
3. Color Mixing Tips
PLA Palette's layered color mixing can be configured in the corresponding Bambu Studio workflow.
First, review the manufacturer's guide on color mixing principles and setup methods, and select the appropriate color combination according to the model's requirements.
4. Precautions for Safe Use
- Store the filament in a cool, dry, and light-shielded environment, and avoid direct sunlight and high temperatures.
- To avoid the risk of accidental ingestion or choking, keep the filament and broken pieces out of reach of infants, children, and pets.
- For opened filaments, it is recommended to dry them according to the manufacturer's instructions before use.
- During printing, ensure sufficient ventilation or use appropriate air filtration and exhaust equipment.
- PLA Palette is not a food-grade material. Do not use the printed object for food storage or in direct contact with food.
