PLA Rainbow Filament (RFID) - 1kg

Snapmaker PLA Rainbow

Bring Prints to Life in Matte Rainbow Colors

PLA Rainbow transitions smoothly through shades of cyan, purple, pink, yellow, green, and more in a single spool. A soft matte finish complements the flowing pastel gradients, giving your prints a refined look.

Varied Gradients, Distinct Visuals

One full rainbow color cycle uses approximately 200 g of filament. Depending on filament usage, model geometry, and print settings, a print may show part of the gradient or the full rainbow, adding rich color variations to your creations.

A Fresh Look with Every Print

The starting color, filament usage, and settings such as infill density shape the final gradient. Even the same model can feature different color patterns, giving each print a character of its own.

RFID Recognition^[2]

When used with the Snapmaker U1, the printer automatically loads preset filament information for a more convenient printing experience.

Recycled Spool & Packaging

Both the spool and packing box are made from recycled materials, reducing the use of virgin materials.

Printing Tips

Drying & Storage

• Pre-Drying: The filament has low moisture sensitivity and generally does not require drying. However, pre-drying is recommended for optimal print results. The recommended setting is 55°C for 6 hours.
• Storage: When not in use, store the filament in a dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain consistent print quality.

Printing

• Adjusting the Color Gradient: A full rainbow color cycle uses approximately 200 g of filament. The range of colors and gradient effect in your print depend on how much filament is used. You can change how colors are distributed across your model by choosing a different starting color or adjusting the infill density.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Compability

Snapmaker PLA Rainbow is a 1.75 mm PLA filament designed for compatible FDM 3D printers.

• Snapmaker U1: Use Snapmaker PLA Rainbow with Snapmaker Orca by selecting the corresponding filament preset.
• Other FDM 3D printers: Compatible with most FDM 3D printers. Manual adjustment of printing settings may be required.

2. What makes Snapmaker PLA Rainbow different from regular PLA?

Snapmaker PLA Rainbow features multiple colors that transition smoothly along a single spool, including cyan, purple, pink, yellow, and green.
Unlike regular single-color PLA, it creates naturally changing color gradients as you print, giving each model a unique, multicolor appearance. Depending on filament consumption, model geometry, and printing settings, the result may showcase a full rainbow spectrum or only part of the color range.
Even when printing the same model with identical settings, the color distribution may vary depending on the starting color of the filament, creating different gradient patterns.

3. How does the rainbow color gradient work?

One complete rainbow color cycle uses approximately 200 g of filament.
As the filament is consumed during printing, its colors gradually transition through the rainbow sequence. Depending on the starting color, filament usage, model geometry, and printing settings, the finished print may display only part of the color sequence or approximately one complete rainbow cycle.
• Full Rainbow Gradient: The print displays approximately one complete rainbow color cycle.
• Partial Rainbow Gradient: The print displays only a portion of the rainbow color sequence.

4. Can I customize the color distribution of my prints?

You can influence the final color distribution through the starting color of the filament, model geometry, and printing settings.
For example:
• Starting Color: The color at the beginning of the filament feed determines where the rainbow color sequence starts, affecting the order of colors in the finished print.
• Model Geometry: The model's size, shape, and structure affect how the color transitions appear across its visible surfaces.
• Infill Density: Different infill densities affect filament consumption and may influence the overall color pattern. However, additional filament used for internal infill does not necessarily result in more visible color transitions on the model's exterior.
Since the color transitions are built into the filament, individual color transitions and their exact placement cannot be independently controlled through the slicer.
Even when printing the same model, differences in the starting color and printing settings may produce different color patterns.

5. What are the recommended printing settings for Snapmaker PLA Rainbow?

Parameter	Recommended Setting
Nozzle Temperature	190–240°C
Bed Temperature	25–70°C
Cooling Fan	On
Printing Speed	Up to 300 mm/s
Drying Before Printing	55°C for 6 hours

These settings are based on testing with a 0.4 mm nozzle. Actual printing conditions may vary depending on the printer, nozzle diameter, model geometry, and other factors. Adjust the settings as needed.

6. Do I need to dry Snapmaker PLA Rainbow before printing?

Snapmaker PLA Rainbow has low moisture sensitivity and generally does not require drying before use.
However, for optimal print quality, we recommend pre-drying the filament at 55°C for 6 hours before printing.

8. Does Snapmaker PLA Rainbow support RFID recognition?

Yes. Snapmaker PLA Rainbow supports RFID recognition on the Snapmaker U1. When the filament is loaded, the U1 automatically identifies it and loads the dedicated PLA Rainbow preset, making setup easier.
Note: RFID recognition is currently available only on the Snapmaker U1.

9. Are the spools and packaging made from recycled materials?

Yes. Both the filament spool and packaging box are made from recycled materials, helping reduce the use of virgin materials.
