Prusament PLA Galaxy Purple 1 kg (NFC)

Prusament PLA Galaxy Purple 1 kg (NFC)

Prusament PLA Galaxy Purple is a premium PLA filament manufactured directly by Prusa Research on its own production lines with strict quality control of every spool. The Galaxy Purple variant offers a distinct purple color with fine metallic glitters that give prints an exclusive look.

The integrated NFC chip allows compatible Prusa printers to automatically load information about the filament (material type, color, recommended temperatures, remaining amount, etc.), which simplifies print preparation and minimizes setting errors.

Main Advantages

• Premium PLA filament manufactured directly by Prusa Research
• Impressive Galaxy Purple with glitter – ideal for design and representative models
• Integrated NFC chip – easy filament identification on supported Prusa printers
• Top-tier diameter precision of 1.75 mm with a tolerance of ±0.02 mm
• Excellent layer adhesion and stable printing of large objects without deformation
• Easy printing suitable even for beginners – wide window of temperature settings
• Minimal stringing and warping with recommended settings
• Biodegradable material based on polylactic acid (PLA)

Recommended Use

Prusament PLA Galaxy Purple is ideal for:

• decorative and design models
• figures, statues, and cosplay accessories
• advertising and presentation samples, trophies, and awards
• prototypes and functional parts for indoor use
• electronics covers, organizers, holders, and common practical prints

Thanks to the glitter effect, it helps hide layers and surface imperfections well, so prints look very professional even without demanding post-processing.

Printing Settings (Approximate)

• Nozzle temperature: 210 ± 10 °C (typically 200–220 °C)
• Bed temperature: 40–60 °C
• Printing speed: up to approx. 200 mm/s (depending on printer and model character)
• Cooling: 100 % (strong airflow for best details)

Specific settings may vary by printer, nozzle, ambient temperature, and desired quality. We recommend starting with the official Prusa profiles for Prusament PLA and fine-tuning if necessary.

PLA Material Properties

• Material: PLA (polylactic acid)
• Density: approx. 1.24 g/cm³
• Hardness: high, but the material is more brittle (breaks more easily than it bends)
• Heat resistance: up to approx. 55–60 °C – above this temperature it loses mechanical strength
• Suitable mainly for indoor use (lower resistance to UV radiation and higher temperatures)

Practical Printing Tips

• For the first layer, use a clean bed (IPA/ethanol for smooth PEI, or glue for specific surfaces as recommended by the printer manufacturer).
• For a better glitter appearance, print with a higher layer height (e.g., 0.20–0.25 mm) – the effect tends to be more pronounced.
• For mechanically stressed parts, print with a higher number of perimeters and infill (e.g., 3 perimeters, 20–30 % infill).

Ecology and Quality

Prusament PLA is manufactured with an emphasis on consistent quality, precise spool winding, and diameter monitoring throughout the length. Additionally, PLA is a material from renewable sources and is biodegradable under specific industrial composting conditions.

Each spool of Prusament is equipped with a batch label and quality control history, so you are assured of print repeatability.
