Let the light through
PLA Translucent has a frosted-glass finish that diffuses light beautifully, ideal for lampshades, lanterns and decoration. It is durable enough for long-term indoor use and bonds perfectly with all other PLA filaments.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I get the most translucent prints?
Dry the filament, print thin walls with 100% infill, low speed and a higher nozzle temperature, and preferably use a 0.8 mm nozzle. The Bambu Lab wiki has a complete profile with the right settings.
What’s the difference from PETG Translucent?
PLA Translucent has a frosted-glass look that diffuses light nicely and is easier to print. PETG Translucent is more see-through.
Can I order a colour that’s out of stock?
No, we only sell filament from stock. Click the colour you want in the colour chart and ask to be notified as soon as it’s back in stock.
