FAQs

What is the primary difference between Panchroma and older PolyTerra PLA?

Panchroma is the next-generation evolution of the original line, featuring updated material formulations for enhanced print reliability and flow consistency at higher speeds.

Does this filament require a heated bed?

While it can be printed on an unheated bed, a heated bed set to 25°C-60°C is highly recommended to improve adhesion and prevent warping.

Is this filament compatible with all 1.75mm 3D printers?

Yes, it is designed for compatibility with any FDM printer that accepts 1.75mm filament.

How should I dispose of the cardboard spool?

The spool is fully recyclable and can be processed through most local cardboard and paper recycling streams.

What should I do if the print appears 'fuzzy'?

Fuzzy surfaces are often a sign of moisture absorption. Dry the filament in a dedicated filament dryer or a convection oven at low heat (approx 40-45°C) for several hours.

Troubleshooting

Poor layer adhesion

Increase nozzle temperature by 5-10°C or decrease your print speed to ensure better bonding.

Stringing or oozing

Refine your retraction settings in your slicer software, typically increasing retraction distance or speed slightly.

Filament tangling

Ensure the end of the filament is always secured in the spool's edge holes when not in use to prevent it from looping over itself.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent matte surface finish hides print artifacts
  • Supports rapid printing speeds up to 300 mm/s
  • Environmentally friendly recyclable cardboard spool
  • Consistent diameter for reliable extrusion
  • Wide operating temperature range for better compatibility

Cons

  • Standard PLA is sensitive to humidity; requires moisture protection
  • Matte finish can sometimes be slightly more brittle than standard glossy PLA
  • Requires careful storage in a dry environment to maintain quality

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results, print with a nozzle temperature between 190°C and 230°C and a bed temperature of 25°C to 60°C. If you experience warping, increase the bed temperature within the recommended range. Always use the provided desiccant packet to store the filament in a sealed bag or dry box when not in use, as PLA can absorb moisture over time, leading to stringing or surface blemishes. The cardboard spool is standard sized and fits most common 3D printer spool holders without modification.
