Description:
The K5™ PLA G Gradient PLA Filament, a new member of the Aesthetic Series, features smooth multi-color transitions with naturally shifting hues.
Features:
Dynamic Gradient Effect: Features a gradual, cyclic change between two colors (e.g., Blue-Green gradient) for visually striking prints.
Easy to Print (K5 Base): Highly stable, offering smooth extrusion, excellent adhesion, and minimal issues with tangling, bubbles, or clogging.
Improved Toughness: Utilizes Kexcelled's proprietary technology to enhance impact strength and durability compared to standard PLA.
High Consistency: Manufactured with strict quality control to ensure a highly consistent filament diameter and circularity.
Wide Compatibility: Works seamlessly with a vast majority of Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D printers on the market.
Eco-Friendly: Made from Polylactic Acid (PLA), a biodegradable, plant-based material derived from renewable resources like corn starch.
Semi-Matte Surface (on gradient variants): Some gradient variants (K5G) feature a semi-matte finish that can help better hide layer lines for a more detailed surface appearance.

Color Change Length (Gradient): Approximately 8 m – 10 m for a complete single color, with a transition length in between (e.g., 5 m transition).
Recommended Drying Temp.: 40∘C – 50∘C for 2 hours
Safety Precautions:
- Always print in a well-ventilated area.
- Avoid breathing the fumes while printing.
- Do not touch the nozzle, heated bed, or printed object right after printing — let it cool down first before handling.
- Keep the printer and filament away from children and pets.
- Unplug the printer when not in use.
- Store the filament in a cool, dry place to avoid moisture.
- Wear gloves and a mask when sanding, cutting, or handling printed parts.
- Keep away from open flames — most filaments are flammable.
PLA
- Safe and low-odor filament, but still print with good ventilation.
- Avoid overheating to prevent smoke or odor.
- Allow the print to cool down before removing from the bed.
