Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We've got answers. From choosing the right material to caring for your spools, here's everything you need to know in one spot.

What is the difference between PolyLite™ PLA, PolyMax™ PLA and PolyLite™ PLA Pro?

Short answer:
PolyLite™ PLA is a very rigid material with very low impact resistance.
PolyMax™ PLA is an extremely ductile material with high impact resistance and durability.
PolyLite™ PLA Pro is the best of both worlds combining excellent rigidity and high impact strength.

Long answer in our live experiment here.

Does the Metallic effect affect the layer adhesion?

Layer Adhesion (Tensile Strength Z axis):PolyLite PLA Pro Regular Colors: 36.49MpaPolyLite PLA Pro Metallic Gold/Silver/Bronze (Crystal Powder): 30.12MpaPolyLite PLA Pro Metallic Blue/Red/Magenta (Pearl Powder): 34.32MpaFor your reference:PolyLite PLA Regular Colors: 40.55MpaPolyLite PLA Silk Colors: 20.21MpaPolyLite PLA Carbon Fiber: 15.13MpaPolyTerra PLA Regular Colors: 12.20MpaPolyTerra PLA+ Regular Colors: 16.69MpaSilk PLA are very weak because of the formula change, the PLA Pro metallic is not a formula change but a color master batch optimization, the effect on the layer adhesion is minimum.You lose 50% strength when going from regular PLA to Silk PLA.You lose 6%-17% (depending on the color master batch changes) from PLA Pro to PLA Pro Metallic.

Will the spools work in an AMS?

Yes! We have redesigned the edges of our spools so all Polymaker products will now spin great in the AMS.

Is this material food safe?

Unfortunately we do not have any data whether this material is food safe. As of now, no 3D printing material on the market is FDA food safe compliant. This is because in order to be certified as food safe, the actual object needs to be certified and not the base material. The shape, bed used, environment the object was made, and much more goes into getting a food safety certificate. As of now there is no real certification that the FDA offers for 3D printing.

Do you sell refills?

We are sorry but we do not sell refills at this time

Is this material recyclable?

Unfortunately there is no great answer for recycling PLA at this time. Our cardboard spools are biodegradable but there is no great way to recycle PLA at this time.

Customers praised this metallic PLA Pro filament for "amazing print quality" with "beautiful shiny finish" and excellent layer adhesion. Many noted it prints reliably with minimal issues and is "tougher" than standard PLA. However, some found color accuracy inconsistent—gold appeared "mustard" or "yellow-orange," and metallic effects were "faint" or "just glitter." A few experienced clogging with .4mm nozzles or needed settings adjustments.

First roll... GREAT colors, GREAT performance.

This was my first roll of Metallic PLA Pro, but I imagine it's just the first of many! The color, Sparkle Green, is consistent, and the sparkles vibrant. It prints really well with my Q2C. It's also tough. I suggest that PolyLite have a "sample roll" with a bit of filament of EACH color. I might buy more, faster.

Skeptical at first

Was worried about using this filament at first, but after getting started with the print it went great. Printed a castle for my wife and it came out great. Will definitely be making more purchases of this and other colors of filament in this line.

Not metallic. Just glitter.

The "metallic" is only visible in very specific lighting conditions, and is only glitter in the filament. I was looking for a more uniformly gold filament and am very disappointed.

Good filament, color not quite what I wanted

As usual, Polymaker filament quality is good overall. The gold metallic is more of a yellow-orange color than I would have liked, and I did have a feed issue due to the "metallic" filament particles collecting on the gears. Overall, I'd buy the other colors, probably not the gold one.

Extremely good filament prints super clean

I read on Reddit that this filament was essentially the same thing as the gold sparkle from the recent Bambu Christmas pack that's no longer available. To be clear, this is 100% not a replacement for the Bambu gold sparkle. The gold in this Polymaker filament is darker and duller than the Bambu gold and had almost no sparkle. So if you're looking for a replacement for the Bambu gold, this isn't it. In the picture, the bottom is the Bambu and top is the Polymaker.With that said, as a good filament, this is extremely good. It prints super clean and the spool wrapping is very nice and doesn't tangle even though it looks terrible.

Polylite PLA pro is tough stuff! It prints so nicely!

Polylite PLA pro is tough stuff! It prints so nicely. 1st layers are a dream. I tend to babysit 1st layers but have become so confident with Polymaker filaments that I am avoiding that a bit now. This PLA Pro is very solid once it's cooled off. Holds it's shape very well and has great dimensional accuracy too with no shrinking!! Colors look great too! Definitely on my favorites list!
