Bambu Lab PLA Metal

A metal look without metal

PLA Metal gives your prints the texture and sheen of metal, but contains no metal particles itself. That means it prints as easily as regular PLA, with every nozzle and in every AMS model, and it is relatively impact-resistant.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does PLA Metal contain real metal?

No. PLA Metal mimics the texture and sheen of metal without any metal particles. That’s why you don’t need a special nozzle and your printer doesn’t wear faster.

Does PLA Metal work in the AMS?

Yes, in all AMS models. Thanks to the RFID chip, the AMS recognises the filament and print settings automatically.

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.

How should I store this filament?

Dry and airtight, below 20% humidity, for example with desiccant. If the filament has absorbed moisture, dry it: 8 hours at 55 °C in a drying oven.

How fast is delivery?

In-stock items are usually delivered within 1 to 3 working days in Belgium. Collection in Aalst is also possible.
