ZYLtech Metallic PLA Filament – 1.75mm, 1kg
Pickup available at Headquarters
Usually ready in 2-4 days
Create polished, shimmering 3D prints with ZYLtech Metallic PLA Filament. This specialty PLA combines the familiar ease of standard PLA with a metallic-looking luster that helps signs, figurines, props, trophies, ornaments, models, gifts, and display pieces stand out without requiring paint or extensive post-processing.
It is designed for smooth feeding, consistent extrusion, and reliable results on most FDM and FFF printers using either Bowden or direct-drive extruders. The five available finishes make it a practical choice for decorative projects, presentation models, cosplay pieces, and print-farm products that need more visual impact than ordinary solid-color PLA.

Printing Tips
- Start with a standard PLA profile and adjust temperature and speed to suit the printer and desired surface finish.
- Use slower outer-wall speeds for a cleaner, more even metallic shimmer.
- Keep layer height and extrusion flow consistent to reduce visible surface variation.
- Print on a clean build surface and store the spool sealed and dry when not in use.
- This material is best suited for decorative and general-purpose parts rather than high-temperature or heavily loaded mechanical applications.
