Cookiecad - Gold Dust Clear Translucent Gold Glitter PLA Filament (1.75mm, 1kg)

Infuse your 3D creations with the luxury of suspended stardust. Cookiecad Gold Dust PLA is a premium specialty filament that pairs a crystal-clear, transparent base polymer with a dense concentration of brilliant gold micro-glitter. The unique optical transparency allows ambient light to pass completely through the shell of your model, illuminating the floating gold particles from within for a breathtaking, dimensional 3D shimmer.

The Internal Glow of Transparent Layers

Because the clear base material is transparent, you can use your slicing configurations to unlock stunning optical effects. Adjusting your infill density, choosing geometric or artistic infill patterns (like gyroid or honeycomb), or varying the number of perimeter walls directly alters how light travels inside the model. This makes the gold glitter flakes capture light at multiple depths, making it an exceptional choice for premium trophy awards, custom jewelry, festive holiday decorations, and high-end display pieces.

Why Choose Cookiecad Glitter PLA?

• Flawless Layer Masking: The heavy distribution of radiant gold micro-glitter flakes disrupts uniform surface reflections, masterfully hiding standard layer lines and minor print artifacts right off the bed.
• Legendary PLA Ease of Use: Offers the absolute user-friendliness that makes PLA the industry standard—boasting ultra-low thermal shrinkage, excellent bed adhesion, and virtually zero corner warping.
• Nozzle-Friendly Formulation: Unlike highly abrasive composite filaments (like carbon fiber or glow-in-the-dark), Cookiecad’s premium micro-glitter flakes are safe for standard brass nozzles, ensuring long-term hardware reliability.

Pro Printing & Hardware Tips for Success

Suspended glitter particles behave slightly differently than pure polymers. To ensure a smooth, worry-free printing experience, keep these helpful setup tips in mind:

• Hardware Optimization: Cookiecad uses ultra-fine micro-glitter particles, meaning you can achieve completely successful prints using a standard 0.4mm nozzle. However, upgrading to a 0.6mm nozzle or using a direct-drive extruder configuration drastically minimizes backpressure and virtually eliminates the risk of particle accumulation over massive, multi-day print jobs.
• Nozzle/Extruder Temperature: 200°C – 225°C (Printing slightly hotter than standard PLA helps the clear base melt into a glass-like clarity, maximizing the inner glitter sparkle).
• Heated Bed Temperature: 50°C – 60°C
• Part Cooling Fan: ON / High Speed (Crucial for locking down crisp overhang paths and maintaining sharp geometric edges).
