A Truly Revolutionary Filament - Experience Quantum
MatterHackers Quantum PLA is your filament of choice to create the most striking, visually magnificent 3D prints possible. Every color option actually includes a blend of two different colors, both of which will feature on your finished print. By rotating the part to a different orientation you can completely change the visible color. You want your 3D prints to be the most beautiful possible, and MatterHackers Quantum is the most beautiful 3D printer filament on the market.
Compatible with your 3D printer
Quantum is PLA, available in 1.75mm and 2.85mm diameter, and not abrasive in any way, making it compatible with virtually any FDM 3D Printer. If you are a seasoned veteran of the 3D printing community or an absolute beginner, you can take advantage of color-shifting Quantum today. No other filament brings together the blended dual-color effect of MatterHackers Quantum, letting you create dichromatic prints on a single extrusion 3D printer without any modification. No matter where you are on your 3D printing journey, experience color reinvented with Quantum.
Be one of the first to discover this next step in 3D printing
Here at MatterHackers, we are always searching for new ways to find success with 3D printing, sometimes that means functional parts with very strong materials, and sometimes that means beautiful aesthetic parts whose key feature is the smile it puts on our faces. Quantum is the first material in a long time that had us both mesmerized by its beauty and inspired by its capabilities. We have been printing with it for a while, but what excites us the most is what you are going to print with it. Don’t miss this opportunity to be one of the first people to print with this new material and be part of the evolution of 3D printing.

Tips on how to make the best prints with Quantum
The UltiMaker S5 3D printer has a top-tier dual extrusion system that produces clean, geometrically complex parts.
- Smaller melt zones are better for Quantum, Volcano style hotends can produce mixing that reduces the visual effect of Quantum. E3D v6, Mosquito, and most stock printer hotends are perfect.
- Before starting a big print, we recommend printing an Quantum Alignment Coin that will tell you exactly where the color change line is on your specific printer and filament setup. The angle will be different for every printer setup, but we have found that if the printer and filament stay in the same orientation, the alignment doesn't change from spool to spool.
- Quantum prints look the best when the outside perimeters of the part are all printed in the same direction, and we have found that many slicers do not do this by default! To make great prints with Quantum, MatterControl does force outside perimeters to always travel in the same direction, you can download for free right here.
Questions
You mention and alignment coin, where can I find that?
How many meters of filament is in one roll?
the colors are beautiful. Can we buy in France? where can we find the stl of the mandala?
What does the empty spool weight?
What is the density of this material?
What are the material properties for this filament? Can we get a spec sheet?
I have used the filament in a 0.4 nozzle configuration and love the color change. Will I get the same effect with a 0.2 nozzle or is it too small for the application? I would like to know prior to changing the nozzle as it is an ordeal. Thank you in advance.
Is this filament abrasive on a brass nozzle?
Is this similar to a Silk PLA? If so, does it have the same layer adhesion issues?
Love the color! I was wondering if you have a color that is similar or the exact color of the raspberry?
What are the results when using a volcano hot end? It says it may reduce effect.. is it worth trying or will it just totally mix it?
Will this filament type every be available as TPU? THANKS!
1: Will this be available in refill packs? 2: Could something like this be made in ABS?
I would like to know where to find the file for the skull in the puddle!
Is It the same as Magic Silk PLA ?
I noticed you recommend smaller hot ends. Will this filament work on the ender3 v2 neo and/or the Flashforge Finder?
Good morning Is your Quantum Iridescent and silky PLA compatible with makerbot replicator+ printers? Thank you in advance. Savino Capizzi
What is the density of the filament in g/cm3?
Is this able to be used on a Makerbot Replicator+ with the experimental smart extruder?
What is the model used for the skull bottle and where can I find it?
Would like to see some sample or assortment packs, say, four 1/4kg rolls of different color combos.
Will this work with the Ultimaker s5?
What is the difference between the two sizes
Where I can find the file of the Star (with different infill patterns) you have pictured above? I just got my roll of blue/green quantum and I want to print cool things!
Can we get something like this in a TPU? Would love to print drone parts in a quantum color
Is there a way to influence the layout of the color change, or will it always tend to be in a left-right orientation? Can it be, for example, one color when you look at it from aboce and another from below?
It's the STL for the vase available?
do you have a filament profile?
For me, this worked in the generic PLA setting.
The green/blue stuff I've had nothing but problems with. 240C/60C bed, it would just randomly jam. Sometimes after the first layer, sometimes five hours into a print. It almost behaved like there was some kind of solid contaminant in the filament - I'd push a higher melting point filament through, I'd get a tiny pop and it would flow again until a random interval passed and it would jam up.
Ran through my filament dryer 5 times, 6 hours @65C.
Usings Prusa Mini, 225 first layer and 220 on worked for me
For me, using a Tungsten Steel Nozzle, I couldn't get a successful print using 210-220c. It would not lay correctly and fail (and yes, my bed was trammed, z-offset was correct, and my ABL was on).
I finally had to print at 35-40mm/sec, @ 230c, and the bed at 50c to get a successful print.
Same problems with the hardened steel nozzle. 215/60 on a Prusa MKS3+ didn't work. 2 failed prints in a row.
I've been having a lot of trouble trying to get it to print. I tried RLovrin1's suggestion, and it works perfectly. So if you have trouble, def try "35-40mm/sec, @ 230c, and the bed at 50c"
I have also been getting clogs and jams at the recommended parameters (227°/50°) with quick-to-somewhat-quick PLA printing speeds. Like the last person mentioned, when I pulled out the most recent clog, there appeared to be some sort of fibrous material sticking out from the part of the clog that conformed to the shape of the nozzle--almost like little micro-fibers. Maybe there is some sort of middle separation layer they are using to keep the two colors from mixing with one another when the filament is extruded on their machines? It will probably be necessary to use slower speeds, less retraction if possible, and maybe higher temps.
