Prof. Lab PLA Galaxy Black 1 kg

Prof. Lab PLA Galaxy Black – luxurious shimmering black for premium prints

Prof. Lab PLA Galaxy Black is an effect PLA filament with fine shimmering particles that create a deep "galaxy" effect. Prints thus resemble premium metallic paints or pearlescent surfaces, while the ease of printing remains the same as with regular PLA.

Main advantages

• Luxurious metallic black with a fine shimmer – ideal for representative and decorative models
• Great layer masking – transitions are less visible, the model looks like it was cast or painted
• Easy printing like PLA – low warping, good layer adhesion, minimal shrinkage
• Suitable for beginners and advanced users – does not require a closed chamber or special settings
• Quality winding and consistent diameter – reliable filament feed without jams

Recommended use

Prof. Lab PLA Galaxy Black is a great choice for everyone who wants to achieve visually impressive prints:

• design and presentation models
• figures, statues, decorations, and collectibles
• cosplay accessories, props, stands
• electronics covers, frames, design interior accessories

Thanks to the shimmering particles, the filament perfectly covers small surface imperfections, making it suitable even for projects where appearance comes first.

Printing recommendations

For the best results, it is recommended:

• Nozzle temperature: approx. 200–220 °C (depending on the specific printer and speed)
• Bed temperature: 50–60 °C (on some printers, it can be printed at 0–40 °C)
• Print bed: glass, PEI, textured sheet, or other common surface for PLA
• Cooling: fan ON (100% for fine details and surface)
• Print speed: approximately 40–80 mm/s

Before printing, it is recommended to check nozzle cleanliness and correct first layer calibration so that the shimmering surface stands out as best as possible.

Material and properties

• base material: PLA (polylactic acid) from renewable sources
• biodegradable in industrial composting plants
• low shrinkage rate – suitable even for open FDM printers
• strong and rigid material with a very good surface, ideal for visual parts

Warning: PLA is generally not suitable for long-term use in high temperatures (e.g., in a car in direct sunlight). For more temperature-demanding applications, we recommend PETG or technical materials.
