Polymaker Panchroma UV Color Change Filament

Note: This is (Formerly PolyLite™ PLA)

Description:

Panchroma UV Shift PLA transforms your 3D prints with its captivating color-changing property. Appearing in one color under normal indoor light, it dramatically shifts to a different, vibrant hue when exposed to UV radiation. This reversible change makes it ideal for creative projects, educational demonstrations, or any application where a dynamic visual effect is desired. It prints reliably on most FDM 3D printers and delivers good print quality.

Features:

UV Reactive Color Change: Changes color when exposed to UV light (sunlight, UV lamp) and reverts to its original color when removed.

Dynamic Visuals: Adds an interactive and surprising element to 3D printed objects.

Easy to Print: Designed for reliable and consistent printing on most FFF/FDM 3D printers with typical PLA settings.

Good Layer Adhesion: Engineered to minimize common printing issues like warping, jamming, blobs, or layer delamination.

Variety of Shifts: Available in different color transitions (e.g., Natural to Orange, Green to Lime, Purple to Pink).

Recyclable Cardboard Spool: Comes on a fully recycled cardboard spool and box for environmental consideration.

AMS Compatible: Spools feature hardened edges for smooth operation in automatic material systems (AMS).

Jam-Free™ Technology: Incorporates Polymaker's Jam-Free™ technology to increase the heat resistance of the filament itself (not the printed part) to prevent heat creep-related jamming issues in the hot end.

Recommended Hardened Nozzle: Due to the slightly abrasive nature of the UV-shifting additives, a hardened nozzle is recommended for extended use to prevent wear on brass nozzles.
