Soft two-tone gradient
The smooth transition between two colors creates a vibrant and impressive visual effect on your printed models.
Examples of gradient printing
The gradient colors make the filament ideal for printing beautiful toys, decorations and ornaments.

High print speed with fine finish
Up to 300 mm/s (with 0.4 mm nozzle) printing while maintaining a delicate and refined surface.

8–10 meters gradient length
Smaller models with lower filament consumption will have less visible gradient transitions, while larger models with higher filament consumption will show clear gradient effects.

Excellent layer adhesion
As a new color option in the PLA Basic series, the gradient filament maintains similar print performance to PLA Basic while providing even stronger layer adhesion and toughness, reducing the risk of printed parts breaking.

Printing tips
• PLA Basic Gradient is a new color option in the PLA Basic series . Use the default PLA Basic settings when printing. For higher print quality, a lower print speed (layer and acceleration speed) is recommended.
• Drying of PLA Basic Gradient is optional. Recommended drying conditions:
-
55 °C for 8 hours in hot air drying oven
-
75°C for 12 hours on the printer's hot plate
For more information on filament drying, refer to the Filament Drying Guide on WIKI .
• Gradient length: 8–10 meters
