Description
PLA containing additives that create a glossy or metallic appearance.
Common use cases
Figurines, trophies, decorative components, and signage.
Advantages
High visual impact; smooth-looking surfaces; easy general printability.
Disadvantages
Lower mechanical reliability; weaker layer adhesion; more prone to splitting under load.
Printing tips and recommendations
Best treated as decorative material. Slow outer walls and use a consistent speed for uniform gloss. Add walls for strength, avoid thin load-bearing features, and expect weaker layer adhesion than ordinary PLA.
X2D guidance
Treat as decorative rather than structural. Slower outer-wall speeds often improve gloss consistency.
Support-material guidance
Support for PLA/PETG or Support for PLA (interface only); PVA; standard PLA for the support body.
