PLA Filaments are the favourite of many 3D Hobbyists for their easy printing and plethora of different colours to choose from. The PLA family has grown to include filaments with additives that widen our options even further with Silky textures, Rainbow colours and Twinkling glows. Now, this range of PLA Matte Filament is here to catch your eye with this sleek Black PLA Matte Filament from SunLu. With pastel-like colours to choose from, PLA Matte offers a unique texture finish and beautiful visual impact.
Compared to most 3D Filament manufacturers that we hobbyists like to support, SunLu has placed a core focus on firstly providing awesome quality 3D Filaments that can actually meet the common standards of modern 3D Makers, while secondarily ensuring the lowest price possible so as to make their materials affordable and accessible for everyone. This time, the additives involved in creating this gorgeous PLA Matte Black Filament has also resulted in an interesting matte finish. Create breath-taking models, cell phone covers, funky stationary, or sleek coverings for your Electronics Projects.
Matte surfaces diffuse reflections, trading glossy looks for a frosted over feel, and enhancing detail in the process. Prints with SunLu PLA Matte Filaments are easy to remove from supports and are more likely to hide layer lines due to their smooth texture finish. This black texture results in an incredibly deep colour that is perfect for stunning artistic models like a Batman bust or unassuming electronics cover with a unique texture. If you are keen to discover more vibrant colours, SunLu’s PLA Matte Filament is a fun affordable and beautiful range to sink your teeth into!

Although 3D Printing at first glance can seem extremely complicated, with a crazy amount of different polymers and plastics available, PLA is polymerised in such a way that even a beginner can enjoy awesome results without ever needing any training or formal education on the topic. This is why it is arguably the most popular filament in the world, and as long as you aren’t requiring the printed models or parts to be very strong, it can handle a wide range of applications from decorative art to functional door handles and similar types of objects.
However, even though it is very easy to print with compared to other polymers, there are still some handy tips to help you get to a good level of quality from your PLA Prints, and this is why we’ve taken the time to provide what we feel are the Top Three Tips for 3D Printing with PLA:
Although we like to believe that we are masters of 3D Printing, after spending a good many years enveloped in the industry, we have to admit that even we learn something new from time to time, and as such we always recommend getting out there and doing your own research to develop your own opinion and grow your knowledge from multiple sources!
As such, in addition to the above PLA Printing Tips, we’ve also gathered an awesome collection of what we feel are great resources to start with when getting into 3D Printing, so be sure to check these out if you’re looking for more insights and information on PLA Printing, or if you’re just curious and eager to see more opinions on one of the many facets of this still-fresh industry:
