Description
Strength Meets Sparkle
PLA Sparkle Onyx Black – Bambu’s Metallic Filament
PLA Sparkle Onyx Black from Bambu Lab combines strength and sparkle in one filament. Because real metal particles are mixed into its composition, every print picks up a sleek, sparkling depth that sets it apart from flat, solid black.
So whether it’s a modern display piece or a functional part, this filament adds a premium, understated shimmer without giving up strength.
Genuine Metallic Sparkle
Since real metal particles are embedded in the filament, the sparkle comes through in the print itself, not just the packaging.
High Impact Strength
It holds up better than standard PLA, so it suits more than just decorative prints.
RFID for AMS
Printing parameters are embedded in RFID, and the AMS reads them automatically.
Reusable Spool Included
It comes on a Basic Reusable Spool, so it’s ready for refills once the roll runs out.
A Next-Level Finish
What Makes PLA Sparkle Different
Most coloured filaments rely on pigment alone. PLA Sparkle Onyx Black goes further, mixing in real metal particles so light catches the surface of every print in a way flat black simply can’t replicate.
Because the sparkle comes from the material itself, it holds up throughout the whole print — not just the outer layer — so the effect stays consistent whether you’re printing a small figurine or a larger display piece. Its dark, sleek base tone also gives it a more understated, premium shimmer than the brighter colours in the range.
Intelligent Filament Recognition
RFID Support for Automatic AMS Settings
RFID embeds all the printing parameters for PLA Sparkle Onyx Black, so the AMS reads them automatically as soon as you load the spool.

Best Uses for PLA Sparkle Onyx Black
Since it combines strength with a sleek, premium finish, it suits projects where a more understated shimmer works better than a bright colour.

PLA Sparkle Onyx Black FAQ
What makes PLA Sparkle different from regular coloured PLA?
Real metal particles are mixed into the filament, so the sparkle comes from the material itself rather than a painted or printed effect.
Can I use a 0.2mm nozzle with this filament?
No, we don’t recommend it. Since the embedded metal particles can cause clogging in a 0.2mm nozzle, stick to 0.4mm or larger.
Is it compatible with the AMS?
Yes, it’s compatible with AMS, AMS 2 Pro, AMS HT and AMS lite, and RFID also handles automatic material recognition.
How does Onyx Black compare to Crimson Red or Classic Gold?
They share the same strength and printing properties — the difference is purely visual. Onyx Black gives a darker, more understated shimmer, while Crimson Red and Classic Gold read as bolder and more festive.
Should I dry it before printing?
Yes. Drying it before use keeps print quality consistent, and it’s worth storing it in a dry environment afterward too.
Is PLA Sparkle Onyx Black available in Cyprus?
Yes, The 3D Factory stocks it, since we’re Cyprus’s official Bambu Lab reseller and deliver across the island.
