Cookiecad - Star Dust Glitter Black PLA Filament (1.75mm, 1kg)

Transform your structural prints and detailed models into a captivating deep-space masterpiece. Cookiecad Star Dust PLA is a premium specialty filament that sets a rich, midnight black base background against a dense concentration of shimmering micro-glitter flakes. Formulated specifically for makers who want an elegant, high-impact aesthetic straight off the build plate, this material mimics a star-filled night sky to deliver an exceptionally clean, premium finish.

The Disappearing Act of Layer Lines

Engineered to eliminate the flat, obviously-plastic look of standard solid black materials, Star Dust leverages a dense suspension of reflective micro-glitter particles. This specialized formulation performs double duty: it lends your prints an upscale, metallic-like starry luster while masterfully scattering ambient room light. This scattering breaks up uniform surface reflections, naturally camouflaging standard layer lines and minor print artifacts without requiring tedious post-process sanding or priming.

Why Choose Cookiecad Glitter PLA?

• Professional Surface Elegance: Delivers a clean, sophisticated sheen that makes it an absolute favorite for functional enclosures, sleek mechanical parts, and high-end display models alike.
• Flawless Desktop Reliability: Retains the legendary ease of use that makes PLA the industry standard—boasting ultra-low shrinkage, excellent dimensional stability, and zero corner warping.
• Nozzle-Friendly Formulation: Unlike highly abrasive composite filaments (like carbon fiber or metal fills), Cookiecad’s micro-glitter flakes are completely 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: 190°C – 220°C (Fine-tuning within this range lets you perfectly balance smooth flow with maximum shimmer reflectivity).
• 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).
