Are you in Australia searching for a two-tone or dual matte filament? Phaser3D Dual Colour offers a matte finish, unlike the silk finish of'matterHackers Quantum PLA'. It's the top choice for creating eye-catching, visually stunning 3D prints. This filament features two colors that will both show on your final print. Simply rotate the part to change the visible color. Silk PLAs usually make shiny and somewhat translucent prints, but with this matte filament, you get a dazzling natural look without the need for painting. Note that matte filaments are more brittle, chalky, and flexible than standard pla+ filaments. They're great for design and aesthetics but not ideal when strength and engineered properties are needed. Print temperatures and speeds are just guidelines, and the exact settings vary for each machine. We suggest printing a temperature tower and doing stringing tests to find your best settings. Tips for the best prints with Dual PLA Filament: Smaller melt zones work better. Volcano style hotends can cause mixing that lessens the visual effect. E3D v6, Mosquito, and most stock printer hotends are perfect. Before a big print, print an alignment coin to know exactly where the color change line is on your specific printer and filament setup. The angle varies for each printer, but if the printer and filament stay in the same orientation, the alignment stays the same from spool to spool. Quantum prints look best when the outside perimeters of the part are printed in the same direction, and many slicers don't do this by default. Specifications: Spool Net Weight: 1kg, Diameter: 1.75mm ± 0.05mm, Print Temperature: 190 - 220°C, Hot Bed Temperature: 0 - 50°C, Print Speed: 20 - 50mm/s.

To use this Phaser3D Dual Colour matte PLA filament, first note that print temperatures and speeds are guidelines. You should print a temperature tower and do stringing tests to find the best settings for your machine. When choosing a hotend, smaller melt zones are better. Avoid using Volcano style hotends as they can cause mixing that reduces the visual effect. E3D v6, Mosquito, and most stock printer hotends are good choices. Before starting a large print, print an alignment coin. This will tell you where the color change line is on your specific printer and filament setup. Keep in mind that the angle will be different for every printer, but if you keep the printer and filament in the same orientation, the alignment won't change from spool to spool. To get the best-looking prints, make sure the outside perimeters of the part are printed in the same direction. Many slicers don't do this by default, so you may need to adjust the settings. Remember that matte filaments are more brittle, chalky, and flexible than standard pla+ filaments. They're great for design and looks but not for when you need strength. Store the filament in a dry place to keep it in good condition.
