Single-color 3D prints are so pass\u00e9. Colorize your prints with rainbow PLA and read on to learn about the best brands!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Single-color prints can get a little boring after a while, and using a multi-color setup is expensive and complicated. Printing with multicolor filaments can be a great way to color up your 3D prints without having to switch spools or create separate models as you would for\u00a0dual-extrusion printing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There are many types of multicolor filaments. Rainbow ones include a full range of colors and, sometimes, multiple hues of the same colors. There are also bicolor and tricolor filaments. You can even find filaments that are\u00a0two colors at once<\/a>\u00a0or that\u00a0change colors<\/a>\u00a0based on exposure to UV rays or temperature changes.<\/p>\n

Printing with multicolor filaments does have some drawbacks, however. Color changes are somewhat gradual, and the distance between them isn\u2019t exact. If you\u2019re trying to print models with color changes at specific points, you\u2019re out of luck, but for an easy way to make parts in multiple colors, rainbow filament is the most straightforward option.\u00a0There aren\u2019t many printing considerations specific to it, and for the most part, it prints\u00a0like regular PLA<\/a>. So, here are our favorite multicolor filament brands!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Sunlu is a popular 3D printing company that makes a wide array of filaments and printer parts. Changing through the full spectrum of the rainbow every 15 meters or so, its multicolor PLA filaments are truly a rainbow. The first color on the spool, however, is random.<\/p>\n

According to the manufacturer, the filament doesn\u2019t bubble, clog, or jam. Additionally, it has a great diameter tolerance of just 0.02 mm. There are options for standard PLA, silk PLA, and silk PLA+.<\/p>\n

An Amazon reviewer found that the filament sticks to the bed very well, and a review on Sunlu said the filament takes a long time between color changes, but it looks great for large prints.<\/p>\n
