Bambu Lab PLA Metal Iridium Gold Metallic

# Bambu Lab PLA Metal 1.75mm 1kg Filament – Iridium Gold Metallic (13400)

Upgrade from basic single-color plastics to spectacular, premium-grade designs featuring a realistic metallic luster. Bambu Lab PLA Metal Iridium Gold Metallic is specifically formulated for makers, artists, and industrial designers in Bangladesh who demand a high-end metal aesthetic without the brutal nozzle wear or complex print settings of real copper or brass infills. Whether you are printing sleek mechanical display housings in Dhaka, customized electronic enclosures, or bold artistic sculptures, this high-performance filament delivers a stunning metallic finish with extreme print reliability.

Advanced Light-Scattering Particle Technology & Flawless Finish

Standard gold filaments can look artificially plastic and readily highlight visible layer lines on curved surfaces. Bambu Lab PLA Metal solves this by embedding custom light-scattering gloss enhancers into a premium brass-toned iridium gold base (#B39B84). These optical modifiers capture and break up light rays uniformly across printed faces, mimicking the natural anisotropic reflectance of machined or cast metals. This unique property creates an incredibly rich, uniform surface sheen that naturally hides layer lines, providing a highly professional appearance right off the print bed.

Low Nozzle Wear with Effortless PLA Printability

Get the rich visual density of metal composites without the rapid hardware degradation. Unlike traditional metal-filled filaments containing highly abrasive iron or copper dust, Bambu Lab Iridium Gold Metallic uses non-abrasive optical modifiers that won't ruin your extruder gears or chew through your hotends. It prints cleanly on standard 0.4mm brass or stainless steel nozzles, showing exceptionally low shrinkage and minimal warping. This optimized formula eliminates the clogging vulnerabilities of typical filled materials, letting you print massive architectural prototypes with total confidence.

Low-Odor, Clean Formulation for Safe Classrooms and Homes

Unlike advanced industrial polymers that release strong chemical odors or toxic fumes during extrusion, PLA Metal is crafted from an eco-friendly, low-emission corn-starch base material. It is completely odorless during high-temperature printing, allowing makers, hobbyists, and digital design educators across Bangladesh to run long, continuous 3D prints safely in small home offices, bedrooms, and classrooms without expensive ventilation infrastructure.

Smart RFID Profile Sync via Bambu AMS

Skip the trial-and-error of manual temperature tuning, retraction settings, and flow rate calibration. The filament spool features an integrated RFID material identification tag. The moment it is loaded into a Bambu Lab Automatic Material System (AMS) or AMS Lite, the system instantly recognizes the Iridium Gold Metallic profile and auto-configures the ideal nozzle temperatures, cooling curves, and bed parameters for a true plug-and-play experience.
