Transition “Mystery” Color PLA Prime

A great opportunity to pay less for great PLA Prime filament! Our transition color PLA Prime filament is the same high quality PLA Prime filament that our customers trust but in "mystery colors." These varying colors are the result of our changeovers from one of our standard color to another during production of our filament and cannot be reproduced. Let us choose a color for you and you will receive 1kg of filament for the 500g price!

Purchase 1kg of PLA Prime filament at the 500g price. This Transition Color filament in a "mystery color" at the 500g price! Colors vary. (This item is not returnable due to color).

Note: These are not a rainbow filament.  The color change in each spool will vary and be very gradual.

*This product is limited to availability as we make changeovers. If you cannot add it to your cart, we are sorry, but we are out of stock.

Technical Printing Guide - COEX PLA Prime

1. Material Notes

  • Keep filament dry - store properly and dry before use
  • PLA is less hygroscopic than other materials, but proper storage helps maintain quality
  • If needed, dry at 55°C for 3 hours or more
  • Check for any visible damage before use

2. Basic Parameters

PLA (Polylactic Acid) is a biodegradable polymer known for its ease of printing, good surface quality, and dimensional accuracy. Perfect for decorative parts, prototypes, and general printing needs where mechanical properties are not critical.

Nozzle Layer Height Line Width Volumetric Speed Temperature
0.4mm 0.2mm 0.42mm 12.0 mm³/s 220°C
0.6mm 0.3mm 0.62mm 27.0 mm³/s 225°C

4. Retraction Settings

Nozzle Distance Speed Z-Hop
0.4mm 0.5-0.8mm 45mm/s 0.2mm
0.6mm 0.6-1.0mm 45mm/s 0.2mm
0.8mm 0.8-1.2mm 40mm/s 0.2mm
1.0mm 1.0-1.5mm 35mm/s 0.2mm


5. Temperature Settings

Bed Temperature: 60°C

  • Wash the bed often for good adhesion - Use dish soap and rinse thoroughly to remove oils
  • Use bed adhesion products if necessary (gluestick, WELD3D)
  • Use brim for tall or large prints
  • Keep ambient temperature stable

Extruder Temperature: 215-235°C

6. Cooling Settings

Cooling Configuration:

  • First Layer: 0% (fan off)
  • General Printing: 100% base fan speed
  • Bridges and Overhangs: 100% fan speed
  • Layers < 15 seconds: 100% fan speed

Critical Considerations:

    • PLA requires maximum cooling for best results
    • Full fan speed helps with bridging and overhangs
    • The first layer needs no cooling for good adhesion
    • Small parts need maximum cooling

7. Troubleshooting Guide

 Problem Solution
Poor Layer Adhesion

 

1. Increase temperature by 5-10°C

2. Reduce cooling fan speed for first few layers

3. Clean build surface with IPA

 

Warping

1. Increase bed temperature to 60°C

2. Add brim (5-10mm)

3. Ensure no drafts in printing area

Stringing

1. Lower temperature by 5°C

2. Increase retraction speed to 45mm/s

3. Adjust retraction distance

Under-extrusion

1. Increase temperature by 5-10°C

2. Clean nozzle or try cold pull

3. Check filament quality

Poor Overhangs

1. Ensure 100% cooling

2. Reduce temperature by 5°C

3. Reduce print speed by 50%

 

PLEASE NOTE: These printing parameters are initial recommendations based on our experience. They may need adjustment depending on your specific 3D printer, environmental conditions, and the geometry of the part you are printing. Use these settings as a starting point and fine-tune them according to your specific needs.

  • Tolerance:

    At Coex 3D, we use multi axis laser measuring heads to ensure a tolerance of ±.03mm. Reliability, print after print, spool after spool.

  • Quality:

    All Coex 3D filament is manufactured in our Green Bay, WI production facility. This allows us to ensure consistent quality for every spool through control of every aspect of the manufacturing process.

  • Packaging:

    Every spool of Coex 3D filament is thoroughly dried in our industrial dryer before being sealed. Spools are sealed with desiccant in a 4mil thick vacuum bag. No need to dry when you receive your order.

  • Tested:

    Coex 3D doesn't just sell filament, we use it on a daily basis. Our 50+ 3D printers are constantly running with our filament. We rely on our quality as much as our customers do.

Excellent Product!

Awesome product for the price. Budget friendly and sometimes you get cool unexpected colors. This is a great option if you don't care what color you are printing. The filament is high quality and very consistent. I've bought multiple rolls and they've all printed with ease. Highly recommended! Buy yours today!

Very fun to get a random color, you can end up with some one of a kind results
