Print the Shape of Light – PLA Translucent Now Available

Vibrant Colors Meet Hand-Blown Texture
Bambu PLA Translucent offers a stunning range of frosted tones that add both subtle elegance and bold vibrancy to your prints. Its unique matte finish mimics the look of hand-blown frosted glass, making it ideal for crafting light shades, vases, and stained glass decor.


A great balance between translucency and durability
Bambu PLA Translucent strikes the perfect balance between visual translucency and everyday durability. It offers greater impact and aging resistance compared to generic translucent PLA, ensuring your prints last longer and perform better over time.

Exploring the Finish: Bambu PLA vs. PETG Translucent
PLA Translucent features a frosted glass texture that diffuses light well, while PETG Translucent is more see-through with a crystal-clear finish.

They look gorgeus!
It’s not easy to find a complete translucent color range.
Those filaments are a very good choice for my “Fruit collection” earrings like this one:

I think it would be perfect to make sun catchers to hang in the window. You could really replicate the stained glass look.

What about a vase that is designed in MakerLab? that would look really good in PLA translucent.

Adding to my order this week, I’ve been looking for something translucent in yellow.

Why is there no clear color like with PETG Translucent?

Yeah, I’m awake now. Don’t mind me

Already ordered it yesterday to test it :slight_smile:
Got me the five spools from the bottom row with the more vibrant colors :smiley:

I’ve been wondering for a long time why they didn’t have this, so nice to see it, but a little disappointed there is not a normal clear (no color tint). I have a big pellet extruder and the standard material we use for that is a neutral, clear PLA pellet, so seems like it wouldn’t be a big leap to have that filament.

So far I bought Red and Teal, imo the nicest filament Bambu have made, tomorrow the other 8 will arrive.
