Product description
Product description
Prusament PLA Galaxy Silver 1kg is a high-quality PLA filament with a characteristic glitter effect, developed and manufactured directly at Prusa Research on their own production lines. The silver base color is complemented by fine glitter particles that create a starry-sky effect (the so-called galaxy look). This makes prints very attractive and helps to hide small layer imperfections.
Every spool of Prusament undergoes thorough diameter and quality control, resulting in a dimensional tolerance of ±0,02 mm (typically even better). This ensures stable extrusion, minimal clogging issues, and reliable printing even for long models.
PLA is generally the easiest material for 3D printing, and Galaxy Silver is no exception – it prints well even on open printers, without special requirements for ambient temperature or an enclosed chamber.
Applications
This filament is particularly suitable for:
- Design and presentation models
- Figurines, miniatures, and statues
- Decorations, cosplay accessories, and jewelry
- Prototypes and concept models that do not require high temperature resistance
- Large prints – thanks to low shrinkage and minimal warping
The glitter effect is very pronounced on well-lit models, making it suitable for prints for exhibitions, promo materials, and gift items.
Key features
- Premium PLA filament manufactured in the Czech Republic (Prusa Research)
- Galaxy Silver – silver color with a strong glitter effect
- Top-notch diameter accuracy ±0,02 mm for consistent printing
- Easy to print – ideal for beginners and advanced users
- Very low shrinkage – suitable for large models, minimal deformation
- Excellent surface finish and well-hidden layers thanks to the glitter
- Odorless during printing
- Suitable for most FDM/FFF 3D printers with 1,75 mm filament diameter
Recommended print settings
Parameters may vary depending on the specific printer; the following values are based on Prusa Research recommendations for PLA:
| Setting | Recommended value |
|---|---|
| Nozzle temperature | approx. 210–215 °C |
| Bed temperature | approx. 50–60 °C |
| Bed surface | PEI smooth / textured / satin |
| Part cooling | 100 % (fan) |
| Recommended layer height | up to 0,2 mm (or finer) |
For longer prints in an enclosed print chamber, it is advisable to keep the door at least slightly open to prevent excessive heating of the space around the hotend.
Tips for processing and use
Gluing
- PLA can be bonded very well with cyanoacrylate adhesives (so-called "superglues")
- Some PLA types can be partially bonded using acetone, but success depends on specific additives – for Galaxy Silver it is generally recommended to use standard glue instead
Sanding and surface finishing
- For PLA, wet sanding (with water) is more suitable to prevent local overheating and deformation of the surface
- The glitter helps to visually hide fine scratches, but the material is harder and relatively brittle, so it is advisable to proceed carefully
Limitations of PLA material
- Lower temperature resistance – parts begin to lose strength at around 55–60 °C
- Not suitable for long-term outdoor use (lower UV and temperature resistance)
- The material is rather hard and more brittle, and is not intended for extremely mechanically stressed parts
