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
I bought this and adhered it to a nice spring steel build plate. It worked fine until I accidentally put it on instead of the smooth PEI plate and printed PLA+ on it. It definitely adhered well ... actually welded itself to the layerLock surface. Any ideas for how to remove the last layer of PLA+ without damaging the layerLock for PP?
what material will the adhesive best adhere to? I want to get a dedicated build plate for it.
If I stick this LayerLock PP to my glass bed and then switch from OBC to PLA or PLA+ will I have to have two different build plates? Plane glass and glass with LayerLock attached?
Can these be ordered in bigger sizes? I have 400x400mm build plate i need to get one of these for
Would it be possible to use this on a prusa mk3 instead of the pei flex plate? like get the 11.8" x 11.8" and just trim it down to shape and set up a new plate config?
What is the advantage of this if Magigoo is still "highly recommended"? Does Magigoo on top of LayerLock somehow work better than Magigoo on top of any other surface?
How does this build surface work with other filaments like PLA or ABS? Or does it work at all with other filaments?
I printed on the PP Layer Lock plate with PP CF and the build plate at 80c. This caused it to fuse. What is the recommended Bed temperature?
