A Truly Revolutionary Filament - Experience Quantum
MatterHackers Quantum PLA is your filament of choice to create the most striking, visually magnificent 3D prints possible. Every color option actually includes a blend of two different colors, both of which will feature on your finished print. By rotating the part to a different orientation you can completely change the visible color. You want your 3D prints to be the most beautiful possible, and MatterHackers Quantum is the most beautiful 3D printer filament on the market.
Compatible with your 3D printer
Quantum is PLA, available in 1.75mm and 2.85mm diameter, and not abrasive in any way, making it compatible with virtually any FDM 3D Printer. If you are a seasoned veteran of the 3D printing community or an absolute beginner, you can take advantage of color-shifting Quantum today. No other filament brings together the blended dual-color effect of MatterHackers Quantum, letting you create dichromatic prints on a single extrusion 3D printer without any modification. No matter where you are on your 3D printing journey, experience color reinvented with Quantum.
Be one of the first to discover this next step in 3D printing
Here at MatterHackers, we are always searching for new ways to find success with 3D printing, sometimes that means functional parts with very strong materials, and sometimes that means beautiful aesthetic parts whose key feature is the smile it puts on our faces. Quantum is the first material in a long time that had us both mesmerized by its beauty and inspired by its capabilities. We have been printing with it for a while, but what excites us the most is what you are going to print with it. Don’t miss this opportunity to be one of the first people to print with this new material and be part of the evolution of 3D printing.

Tips on how to make the best prints with Quantum
The UltiMaker S5 3D printer has a top-tier dual extrusion system that produces clean, geometrically complex parts.
- Smaller melt zones are better for Quantum, Volcano style hotends can produce mixing that reduces the visual effect of Quantum. E3D v6, Mosquito, and most stock printer hotends are perfect.
- Before starting a big print, we recommend printing an Quantum Alignment Coin that will tell you exactly where the color change line is on your specific printer and filament setup. The angle will be different for every printer setup, but we have found that if the printer and filament stay in the same orientation, the alignment doesn't change from spool to spool.
- Quantum prints look the best when the outside perimeters of the part are all printed in the same direction, and we have found that many slicers do not do this by default! To make great prints with Quantum, MatterControl does force outside perimeters to always travel in the same direction, you can download for free right here.
Questions
This material seems to have terrible warping through our e3d volcano extruder when printing at lowest temperatures and max fan, is this material especially sensitive to chamber temperature and/or humidity? Cheap amazon PLA's don't seem to have any of the same issues...
In addition to my previous question, what is the diameter of the reel?
Whats the print settings of PRO PLA vs normal PLA? 1. I see your suggested settings of 235°C (assuming nozzle, all layers); This seems high over other 'normal PLA', the Prusa PLA i just took off my machine ran good at 205-210. BUT i did notice your BUILD series PLA states [205±15°C]. So pro just needs to run hotter? 2. Suggested setting says "Print speed 15mm/s" - That seems VERY slow in comparison to Prusa generic PLA I was just running. Again, I checked your BUILD series PLA to compare... nothing is listed, can you provide some more finely tuned print settings? Problem; off the batt with a new 5lb spool this stuff is printing pretty accurately from what I can tell but is VERY stringy. I'm about to test some higher temps and will report back.
Am now using my 2# Robo3D Carbon PLA. My carbon fill nylon should be kept dry. How much must I desicate all my PLA filaments? Have lefdt PLA filaments out for some time with no apparent bad effects.
what are the dimensions on M4S8S7TT? Spool diameter, width, true shipping weight?
What is the spool thickness on these 10lb reels? Want to make sure the holder I make can fit these on it. Also, what is the hole diameter in the reel?
Does this shrink less than the standard PLA when cooling? I don't see any mention of this specifically?
What's the tare weight of the spool?
