Prof. Lab PLA Galaxy Brown 1 kg

Prof. Lab PLA Galaxy Brown is a high-quality PLA filament with a shimmering "galaxy" effect in an elegant dark brown color. Thanks to the added fine glitter particles, prints appear as if sprinkled with stardust – great for decorations, figurines, game models, and gift items.

Main advantages

• Luxurious shimmering look – dark brown base with fine sparkling reflections that stand out under artificial and daylight.
• Easy printing like classic PLA – does not require a closed chamber, prints stably even on common hobby 3D printers.
• High dimensional accuracy – uniform filament diameter ensures smooth feeding and reliable printing without nozzle clogging.
• Lower risk of deformation – PLA material reduces warping and corner lifting compared to technical plastics.
• Suitable for detailed models – the shimmering effect helps to optically hide layers and gives models a professional look.

Recommended use

Prof. Lab PLA Galaxy Brown is ideal for:

• decorative and design statuettes, busts, figurines
• gift items, souvenirs, and promo models
• gaming and collectible models (miniatures, accessories, stands)
• cosplay accessories and props that should have a more luxurious impression
• interior decorations – vases (non-watertight), flower pot covers, lamp shades, wall elements

Printing recommendations

Specific settings may vary slightly depending on the printer and slicer profile, the following values are a good starting point:

• Filament diameter: 1,75 mm
• Nozzle temperature: approx. 195–215 °C (start around 200 °C and adjust according to results)
• Bed temperature: approx. 50–60 °C (on some surfaces it can be printed even without heating)
• Print speed: 40–60 mm/s for a high-quality surface with nice shimmer
• Cooling: high (80–100%) as with common PLA
• Recommended nozzle: ≥ 0,4 mm – shimmering fillers reduce the risk of clogging in smaller nozzle diameters

For maximum surface quality, it is recommended to use:

• lower layer height (0,12–0,2 mm)
• sufficient cooling for small details
• a clean nozzle without residues of other materials

Material properties

• Material base: PLA (polylactide) – biodegradable plastic based on corn starch
• Harder and more brittle than PETG or ABS – suitable mainly for aesthetic parts, not for heavily stressed functional components
• Low shrinkage – advantageous for larger models

Safety and storage

• Print in a well-ventilated area.
• Store filament in a dry place, ideally in a sealable box with desiccant – you will limit moisture absorption and improve printing consistency.
