Customers praised the vibrant rainbow gradient colors and exceptional glow effect, with many noting "flawless transitions" and ease of printing. However, some experienced brittleness and feeding difficulties, particularly with external spools. Large prints needed to showcase full rainbow effect. Most found it "prints like a dream" with quality results.
The glow is amazing
Problematic material. Not your typical PLA. Started off with extrusion errors when trying to run as an external spool on my P2S (as recommended by Polymaker). Thought it was a filament setting issue but turned out to not want to pull off the roll without constant babysitting. I ended up using the AMS and it printed fine until the machine attempted to unload the filament which resulted in a jam. I had to pull it out by hand with a ridiculous amount of force. The prints are fine but machine issues were very frustrating and not indicative of standard PLA.
We are sorry for any clogging or possibly filament feeding issues! Make sure you email us at support@polymaker.com with your order info and info on the spool and we can help either troubleshoot or replace!
This PLA was the best, it print with my X1 Carbon perfectly the first time around, it took 27 hours to print this BBS racing wheel and it looks fantastic. Thanks Polymaker for the PLA Rainbow.
Super fun and vibrant! Glows really bright and prints easily.
I would have given this filament 5 stars but I struggled to get the last 20 percent to run in my ams even with added weightand wrapping the edges.the spool was damaged in shipping which is not polymakers fault. Color was excellent, consistent diameter. Daughter loved the toy’s printed in it. To be fair 5 stars are reserved for flawless in all aspects. Wish you guys rubberized edges on all rolls not just my expensive fiberon.
Gorgeous color, works well with our A1 BambuLab printer - although we find that we needed to make our own AMS adapter (printed it! )
GOOD COLORS
I havent used it to testify to the quality but the tones are awesome looking.
Das Filament lässt sich super verarbeiten. Der Leuchteffekt ist wirklich überraschend gut. Habe schon mehrere Luminous Filamente gedruckt, aber keins hat so schön geleuchtet. Ich werde mir das auf jeden Fall erneut bestellen wenn ich wieder was brauchen sollte.
great filiment as always from polymaker
really good quality easy to use
I love Panachroma filaments, but not this one. I'd like to say first that we've used .6 and it's been dried thoroughly. Aside from being brittle it's just a complete pain to (attempt) to print with. I think from half a spool we have 1 good print.
Brittle, difficult to feed (even externally) and somewhat inconsistent in print quality the struggle isn't worth the outcome.
I've tried so many variations of settings and nozzles to get a print I've given up and am tossing the remainder and taking the loss on it.
Machines attempted in are the H2S (ams and external), A1 Mini (external) and 2 P1S both externally. Nozzles are Tungsten or Hardened. Even tried a Diamondback. All nozzles are .6
I am very sorry if you had a bad experience with our Panchroma Luminous PLA! Please reach out to the email listed on the spool with your order info and a photo of the spool where the batch number sticker is located and we can help further!
This was my first time using any Luminous filament and what a great product. Great color and quality. Just double checked the recommended settings and went with it. Thank you
Awesome filament!
Good color change gradient on the print dragon I made
Love it. It's beautiful 🤩
This is beautiful and I love the glow
Filament is full of nice shades and soft gradients, but extremely large/dense prints are needed to see a “rainbow”
Great value and quality and excited to use this product for my next project
Beautiful, colorful, came out great with no issues.
This filament runs great in my Bambu H2D, X1C, and my Creality Ender 3 V3. No setting changes, no failures,high quality prints every time!
Good filament prints well
The gradient is Fantastic and leaves NO color change lines like some of the other stuff out there! Flawless transitions and beautiful colors, I'll Definitely be ordering some more! 😁👍
Quality and colors
Hi - how often do the colors change, on average? i.e. how many meters between color changes? Thank you.
Hry Friend,
Here’s a quick explanation of how the **Gradient Matte Pastel Rainbow** filament works.
The colors transition **smoothly and continuously** rather than switching suddenly from one color to another. Based on the product specifications, a full rainbow cycle is approximately **160g of filament**, or around **50–55 meters** for 1.75mm PLA.
A few things to keep in mind:
* **Smooth transitions:** There isn’t an exact point where one color suddenly ends and another begins.
* **Some variation is normal:** The exact cycle length can vary slightly from spool to spool.
* **Your model affects the look:** Tall, narrow models may show the color changes more clearly as they build upward, while wider models can make the transitions appear more gradual.
As a rough guide, you can check the filament length shown in your slicer and divide it by **~50 meters** to estimate how many full color cycles your print will use.
Hope this helps, and happy printing!
Best,
