Product description
HELLO3D Metal‑Like PLA – Gold
Premium PLA filament with a metallic, gold appearance. Enables printing glossy and rich gold surfaces without painting — standard PLA settings are enough. Great for interior accessories, gifts, figurines, logos, cups, or design parts.
Why choose this filament
- Authentic gold “metal like” effect with no visible layers with proper tuning.
- Prints easily like regular PLA — low shrinkage, minimal warping.
- Well-wound spool, vacuum sealed with silica gel.
- Available colors in the Metal‑Like series include Gold/Brass/Bronze (this variant: Gold).
Recommended print settings
- Nozzle temperature: 190–220 °C.
- Bed temperature: 40–60 °C (for PLA a lower temperature or off may suffice depending on the printer and surface).
- Print speed: 50–110 mm/s.
- Cooling: 100% after the first layers; choose layer height according to desired gloss (finer layers = smoother effect).

- Flexural strength: 97 MPa; flexural modulus: 3600 MPa
- Izod impact strength: 4 kJ/m²
- Heat deflection temperature (0,45 MPa): 56 °C.
Spool and packaging
- Net filament weight: 1 kg (approx. 330 m).
- Filament diameter: 1,75 mm ± 0,05 mm.
- Spool dimensions: Ø 198 mm; width 62 mm; inner hole 60 mm (compatible with Bambu Lab AMS systems).

Recommended applications
- Decorations, figurines, cosplay and costume accessories.
- Awards, medals, cups, logos, and signage.
- Covers and design parts without high mechanical or thermal stress.
Tips for the best results
- For maximum shine, print on the cooler end of the range and with a smaller layer height.
- Clean the bed with IPA; depending on the surface use a glue stick/PEI/BuildTak.
- If the filament absorbs moisture (popping, dull fracture), dry at 50–55 °C for 6–8 h.
Note: This is PLA with a metallic look (no metal fillers), so it is gentle on brass nozzles and prints comfortably like standard PLA.
