Bambu Lab PLA Basic Gradient Filament, 1.75 mm, 1 kg (With Spool), Lime Mint
The Bambu Lab PLA Basic Gradient Filament in Lime Mint delivers high-speed printing at up to 300 mm/s whilst maintaining an impeccable, delicate surface finish. This 1.75 mm filament features a smooth two-colour gradient with a transition spanning 8 to 10 metres — ideal for vibrant visual models. Fully compatible with the AMS system via RFID tags for automated parameter loading, it ensures superior layer adhesion and reduced breakage without tedious manual configuration.
Why choose Bambu Lab PLA Gradient for high-speed 3D printing?
Engineered for high-performance manufacturing, Bambu Lab PLA Basic Gradient uses optimised rheological properties to maintain a melt flow index of 23.2 g/10 min. This ensures consistent extrusion even at maximum volumetric flow rates. The integrated RFID technology communicates directly with the Automatic Material System (AMS) -> Automating print settings and eliminating manual calibration errors. With the gradient cycle spanning 8 to 10 metres, large structural prints display a broad, highly visible two-colour transition, whilst micro-components will show a subtle, unified tone.
How does the Arctic Whisper gradient affect the mechanical strength of parts?
Unlike standard dual-extrusion filaments that can suffer from weak bonding zones, this gradient filament retains a high tensile strength of 35 MPa (X-Y) and solid inter-layer adhesion. A consistent glass transition temperature of 60 °C -> Prevents warping during active cooling, producing precise dimensional accuracy with a tolerance of +/- 0.03 mm. The filament is formulated to absorb impact energy of up to 26.6 kJ/m², preventing premature layer separation in functional parts.

Frequently Asked Questions about Bambu Lab PLA Gradient
How noticeable is the gradient effect on small 3D models?
As the gradient cycle spans 8 to 10 metres, smaller models with minimal filament consumption will display a very subtle colour shift. For the Arctic Whisper gradient to be highly prominent, we recommend printing larger models or placing multiple objects on the build plate to consume more filament per layer.
Does the RFID tag work with third-party 3D printers?
Smart RFID parameter loading is exclusive to the Bambu Lab Automatic Material System (AMS). However, the filament itself is universally compatible and will perform exceptionally well in any FDM 3D printer capable of processing 1.75 mm PLA at 190 – 230 °C.
How does the RFID tag improve the printing process?
The integrated RFID tag contains all optimal print parameters for this specific filament. When used with a Bambu Lab AMS, the system automatically reads these settings, eliminating the need for manual configuration and reducing the likelihood of failed prints.
Can I print this PLA Gradient at high speeds?
Yes, it is fully optimised for high speeds, allowing you to print at up to 300 mm/s (using a standard 0.4 mm nozzle) whilst maintaining excellent layer adhesion and a beautiful, delicate surface finish.
