Colours
PLA comes in clear form, which is tinted with dyes; and solid colour that uses opaque pigments. Below is our usual colour range and a few special finishes that we do. We will make custom colours for 500m or more, and can supply any of the pigmented colours as High Impact or Impact Modified PLA on request.
Clear & Tinted Filaments
Diamond PLA
Clear, uncoloured PLA.
Amber PLA
Like a vehicle indicator
Ruby PLA
The hue of cranberry juice.
Sapphire PLA
Makes a nice TARDIS.
Emerald PLA
Great for trees.
Clear PLA is available in 3mm and 1.75mm diameter filaments. There is no such thing as clear ABS, so we don’t have any.
Coloured Filaments
Coloured filaments vary slightly in physical properties due to the composition and densities of the pigments used. We are sane people and while not all our pigments are biodegradable they are all non-toxic – even the glowing ones.
White PLA
Good for showing off prints
Black PLA
Glossy black, hides all sins
Cherry Red PLA
Great for toy cars & buses
Bright Orange PLA
Just right for tool handles
Kiwi Lime PLA
A popular green you can’t miss
Kiwi Green PLA
A bit darker than the Lime Green
Chocolate PLA
Just right for printing “wooden” models.
Ivory PLA
Slightly creamy white, good for fangs
Bubblegum Pink PLA
Ideal for printing panthers, BBQ doll accessories etc.
Sky Blue PLA
A light, vivid and yet opaque blue.
Blueberry PLA
Deep blue with a purple tint to it in the right light
Grape PLA
Purple with a definite depth to it.
Banana Yellow PLA
Bright, vivid and has a great print quality
Coloured filaments are available in 3mm and 1.75mm diameter PLA and ABS, but note that the ABS colours will be slightly different as ABS is not clear.
Special Filaments
Special filaments are available in 3mm and 1.75mm diameter PLA and ABS, but note that the ABS effects will be slightly different as ABS is not clear.
Luminous PLA
Glows in the dark. Glares in UV!
Gold PLA
Brassy with sparkling golden bits.
Silver PLA
Shiny, with metallic silver sparkles
Lilac Pearl PLA
Delicate lilac with a pearly sheen
Good day. Deliver ABS 3 mm in silver color and price?

Charles
Yes Charles, We have some. NZ$50 for 100m (800g). I have recently entered shiping costs for the Czech Republic into the website
For airmail it would be an additional NZ$30. If you e-mail sales@diamondage.co.nz with your delivery address we will make the invoice for you by Paypal.
Hi, do you know how well painting on white PLA works after printing? as its too hard to know where to change the colour and unreliable for detailed prints.
Thanks
The usual spray paints and model paints work well, but thin ones will run along the layers. Nail varnish softens it a bit first but not nearly as bad as it does ABS.
Our favoured technique is to spray it with automotive filler/primer first to reduce colour bleed, sand, paint, and then varnish with clear automotive lacquer of the appropriate finish.
G’day guys
Do you have soft PLA in 1.75mm, similar to the soft PLA that the Ultimaker guys use to simulate rubber type materials?
Cheers
Matt
No, sorry. We have something better but it’s still secret. I hope to have samples ready by the end of the month, but so far it’s held my shoe together for a couple of weeks.
