PLA Transition Filament
Eolas Prints PLA Transition filament is made from the virgin colour-blend produced during our manufacturing process. As one colour changes over to another, a natural gradient of the two is created — rather than purging it, we spool it, producing a filament with a gradient effect that makes every print unique. Productive use of every metre, one-of-a-kind results.
Key Properties
| Colour effect | Natural gradient — unique on every print |
| Heat deflection temperature | ~55–60°C |
| Density | 1.24 g/cm³ |
| Shrinkage | Minimal |
| Food-contact-safe raw material | Yes — virgin pellets and masterbatches certified to EU food-contact standards (see note below) |
| Skin contact safe (raw material) | Yes |
| Toy safe (raw material) | Yes |
| Diameter tolerance | ±0.05 mm |
A Note on Food Contact
Our food-contact certification applies to the raw filament material — the virgin pellets and masterbatches we manufacture from — not to finished printed parts. 3D-printed surfaces contain microscopic gaps between layers that can harbour bacteria, and most printers use brass nozzles that may introduce trace metals into the print. For this reason, no 3D-printed object can be guaranteed food-safe by the filament alone. If you intend a part for food contact, print it with a stainless-steel nozzle and apply a food-safe sealant — and assess suitability for your specific use. This remains the responsibility of the maker.
Recommended Print Settings
| Nozzle temperature | 195–220°C |
| Bed temperature | 0–50°C |
| Print speed | 40–100 mm/s |
| Cooling fan | 80–100% after first layer |
| Enclosure | Not required |
Why Transition Filament?
Transition filament is the virgin material produced during the colour-change phase of manufacturing. As one colour gives way to the next, the two blend naturally. Instead of purging this material, we spool it into a filament that produces gradient colour effects in every print — making productive use of every metre and delivering a visually unique product with a gradient that no two spools share.
Recommended Applications
- Artistic and decorative prints where unique appearance is valued
- Display models and prototypes
- Consumer products, gifts, and personalised items
- Educational projects
Manufactured in Spain
Manufactured at Eolas Prints' facility in Cantabria, Spain, under ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards. Available in 1.75mm and 2.85mm.
