Panchroma™ UV Shift PLA: Color Changing from Natural to Orange Under UV Light
Dynamic UV-Activated Color Change
Panchroma™ UV Shift PLA is a unique filament that appears natural in regular light but shifts to a vibrant orange color when exposed to UV or black light. This dramatic transformation adds an exciting visual effect to your prints, making them stand out under UV illumination.
Perfect for Creative and Functional Applications
Ideal for artistic projects, signage, cosplay, and any print that benefits from a color-changing effect triggered by UV light. It offers a fun and interactive way to enhance your 3D models.
Reliable Printing Performance
Formulated for smooth and consistent printing on most FDM/FFF 3D printers using standard PLA settings. Due to the UV-reactive additives, it is recommended to use a hardened nozzle for regular printing to prevent wear.
Rebranded for Clarity
Formerly known as PolyLite™ PLA UV Color Changing, Panchroma™ UV Shift PLA retains the same trusted formulation and performance under the Panchroma™ brand.
Choose Panchroma™ UV Shift PLA to create prints that transform color under UV light, adding a captivating and dynamic effect to your 3D projects.
Formerly called PolyLite™ PLA UV Color Changing.
Printing Requirements
Hardened Nozzle
And that is it! This will print great on any stock 3D printer that has a hardened nozzle.
You will just want to print slower on stock, older style printers.
