Description
Bambu PLA Sparkle Alpine Green Cyprus — 1.75mm, 1kg
Bambu PLA Sparkle Alpine Green Cyprus combines PLA’s easy printability with a metallic sparkle effect that instantly elevates the look of your models. Infused with fine metal particles for a shimmering finish, this filament produces rich, deep Alpine Green tones (HEX #3F5443) that stand out in décor pieces, figurines, cosplay parts, and presentation prototypes.
Premium sparkle finish with PLA simplicity
Unlike metal-filled composites that are hard to tune, Bambu PLA Sparkle Alpine Green prints like standard PLA while delivering a metallic, light-catching surface. Therefore, you get reliable flow, low warp, and strong layer adhesion—plus a head-turning aesthetic.
AMS-ready with RFID parameters
All key parameters are embedded via RFID for Bambu AMS. As a result, setup is quick: load, confirm, and print. It also works on most 1.75 mm FDM printers with a standard PLA profile and minor tuning.
Recommended printing settings
- Nozzle temperature: 190–230 °C
- Bed temperature (with glue): 35–45 °C
- Speed: < 250 mm/s (slow outer walls for extra sparkle)
- Nozzle: Hardened steel 0.4 / 0.6 / 0.8 mm recommended; stainless 0.4 mm is acceptable; avoid 0.2 mm to reduce clog risk
- Drying: 55 °C for 8 hours; keep humidity < 20% RH
- Build plates: Cool Plate SuperTack, Smooth PEI, Textured PEI
Ideal applications
Create display models, branding mockups, architectural accents, cosplay props, trophies, and giftware that demand a premium metallic look. The Bambu PLA Sparkle Alpine Green finish hides minor layer lines and adds depth without post-processing.

FAQs
Does PLA Sparkle contain real metal?
No. It uses PLA with reflective particles to mimic a metallic sparkle; it does not contain bulk metal fillers.
Do I need a hardened nozzle?
It isn’t strictly required for all users; however, a hardened 0.4–0.6 mm nozzle is recommended for longevity. Avoid 0.2 mm nozzles due to clogging risk.
Is Bambu PLA Sparkle Alpine Green compatible with AMS?
Yes. RFID stores print parameters for quick, consistent setup on Bambu AMS.
Can I use it for mechanical parts?
It’s designed primarily for decorative and display models. For load-bearing parts, consider PLA‑CF or PET‑CF.
