PLA Filament (plastic) for 3D printer STing3D Starlight 1kg, 1.75mm, Mercury
PLA filament STing3D Starlight 1.75 mm, 1 kg — color Mercury (metallic iridescence)
STing3D Starlight Mercury is a premium PLA with a striking metallic sheen (green-silver-graphite shades). Stable diameter and clean extrusion provide smooth walls without "bubbles" and nozzle clogging. Ideal for decor, figurines, cases, vases and prototypes where visual quality and clear details are important.
Advantages
- High precision 1.75 mm diameter (±0.02 mm) — uniform flow and minimal artifacts.
- Smooth feed - tangle-free winding, stable extrusion.
- A spectacular look is the silky metallic with a chameleon-like Mercury shimmer.
- Easy to print - low PLA shrinkage, less warping.
- Compatibility — FDM printers Bambu Lab, Creality, Elegoo, etc.
Printing recommendations
- Nozzle: 190–220 °C (start at 205 °C; adjust for speed/quality).
- Table: 40–65 °C (for large areas - 60–65 °C).
- Speed: 50–350 mm/s *
- Max Volumetric Speed: 9–12 mm³/s (depends on extruder).
- Cooling: 60–100% after the first coats for clear overhangs and shine.
- Finish: for the most “silky” effect, print with a layer of 0.12–0.20 mm, reducing the speed of the outer perimeters.
*Actual speed depends on printer model, nozzle, layer height, and model geometry.
Application
- Interior decor, vases, souvenirs and figurines with metallic sheen.
- Prototypes and body parts, demonstration samples, accessories.
- Gift models and collectible figurines with a "wow" effect.
Storage
- Keep the coil sealed with silica gel.
- If "shots" or roughness appear, dry for 3–6 hours at 45–50 °C.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Will this filament work with my 3D printer?Yes, this filament is compatible with any FDM 3D printer that uses 1.75mm filament diameter. It works with standard nozzles at temperatures between 190-220°C.
-
What does the Mercury color look like?Mercury is a metallic iridescent color with green-silver-graphite shades that shift depending on the light and viewing angle. It has a silk-like shimmer finish that creates a premium, eye-catching appearance.
-
Do I need a heated bed to print with this PLA?While not strictly required for PLA, a heated bed at 50-60°C is recommended for better adhesion and to prevent warping. This filament has a thermal distortion temperature of 50-65°C.
-
How much filament is included and how long will it last?The spool contains 1 kg of filament. Depending on your print size and infill settings, this is typically enough for several medium-sized models or many small decorative items.
-
Is this filament suitable for functional parts or only decorative items?This filament is best suited for decorative items, figurines, vases, and prototypes where visual quality matters most. While it can be used for light-duty functional parts, standard PLA is better for high-strength applications due to the lower thermal distortion temperature of 50-65°C.
