  • Review Of Astro PLA Filament By Customers

In a world where 3D tomorrow is well known for its premium filament range. 3D Tomorrow Astro PLA filaments include metallic flakes that gives 3D models that sparkling and glamour quality. Furthermore, this stunning sparkly finish can reduce the visibility of layer lines and the modifications made to the PLA result in a more stiff material for 3D printing.

The formula for this filament is still in the preliminary stages of development, hence it has been released as a prerelease filament. Should you have any feedback, 3D Tomorrow would greatly appreciate it. Having the opportunity to provide feedback to a manufacturer is something that I find to be very reassuring.

As a way of gaining control over the materials they use, the company has developed its own eco-friendly filaments. As a direct result of their new UK PLA filament range, they are directly supporting several UK businesses and ensuring the carbon footprint is as low as possible. The company created their own brand of eco-friendly filament. Furthermore, because they can reduce their carbon footprints, they can also pass along that knowledge to other users.

The Packaging Of 3DTomorrow Astro PLA Filament

3D Tomorrow’s Astro PLA filaments are made in Britain, Stroud, Gloucestershire, and are manufactured on spools that are made from cardboard that is 100% recyclable. Have you heard that 3DTomorrow is also running a spool buyback program called #ZeroWaste where you can return your old spools?

In addition to the packaging, the paper tape that comes with it is also recyclable. It is also 3D Tomorrow’s goal to always use recycled packaging whenever and wherever possible. They do not believe in single-use items!

The filament you order from 3D Tomorrow Astro PLA range will arrive in excellent condition since it is vacuum sealed with a desiccant pouch after it is manufactured. 3D Tomorrow pride themselves on maintaining high quality and environmental standards, as they are an environmentally friendly company who cares about the environment. Next time you order the Astro PLA 3D printer filament, look out for the Carbon Neutral logo on your shipping label.

How To Print In Matte Or Gloss

As you can see, down below you will see a section with bullet points on certain aspects of each filament which I am considering. One of which is “Which Is Better – Matte Or Gloss?”. This is my perspective on how the glitter appears on filaments. I have found that printing it matte you won’t have the pearl effect printing at around the temperature of 190 to 200. In order to get a gloss print, you will need to print at 215 to 220.

3D Tomorrow Astro Supergiant Red PLA Filament

Astro Supergiant Red Glitter PLA Filament is a vibrant red with a subtle glitter effect. Which still has the pearl shining throughout the 3D model. So I would recommend choosing this filament if you’re looking for a vibrant red. If you are into 3D blood and gore models or making fake blood droplets, then this is the perfect colour for you. You can also use it in a 3D pen to produce blood droplets.

Colour – Vibrant Red

Glitter Visibility – Subtle Pink Glitter

Pearl Effect – Highly Visible

Which Is Better Matte Or Gloss – Gloss

Would I Buy It Again? – Yes, for the colour, but not for the glitter effect.

Chip Beauty and the Beast

So this is Chip The little cup with a chip on the side from the 1991 animated movie. Chaos Core created the model in Fusion 360 using the sculpting environment to get the main shape. Then he finished up the face details with sketches. The 3D model of Chip from Beauty and the Beast printed perfect without any issues.

3D Tomorrow Astro Shepherds Delight Purple PLA Filament

The perfect blend of Astro Shepherd’s Delight Glitter Filament and Plum Purple makes it an outstanding color. In my opinion, I would use it as decorations for the house and especially for vases, makeup organizers, and maybe even huge wall murals or letters that I would hang on the wall. It will make your walls stand out nicely with that nice accent color and the shine of the glitter.

Colour – Plum Purple

Glitter Visibility – Medium Pink Glitter

Pearl Effect – Subtle

Which Is Better Matte Or Gloss – Both

Would I Buy It Again? – It’s a lovely colour, and the glitter on it gives it a pleasant effect. Whether it’s matte or glossy, it looks good on both.

Little Mermaid

According to folklore, a mermaid is a mythical aquatic creature that has the head and upper body of a female human and the tail of a fish. There are legends of mermaids that appear in the folklore of many cultures all over the world, from those of Europe to those of Asia and Africa. M3DM’s model has been remixed by Robin in a support-free FDM friendly manner. The model does not require any supports at all, and it can be printed easily.

3D Tomorrow Astro Indigo Starlight Blue PLA Filament

Unlike most glitter filaments, Astro Indigo Starlight Blue PLA is a deep, deep glitter filament that will definitely leave an impact on you. Depending on the type of lighting environment used to light up the 3D printed model, different patterns of colors can be achieved. Therefore, if the photograph is taken under natural light, it appears to be a vibrant Indigo Blue. It is indeed quite purple in low light and in a professional photo booth it accentuates the colour of this Indigo Blue Glitter PLA Filament. There is no perfect 3D model to use this glitter PLA filament, as it is the WOW factor that is going to be produced with any 3D print.

Colour – Indigo Blue

Glitter Visibility – Vibrant Silver And Blue Glitter

Pearl Effect – Highly Visible

Which Is Better Matte Or Gloss – Gloss

Would I Buy It Again? – Hell yeah, if you use this glitter filament, you’ll definitely see everything pop out at you.

Minnie Mouse With Love Statue

Developed by The Walt Disney Company, Minnie Mouse is a cartoon character. In addition to her bow, polka-dotted dress, white bloomers, and low-heeled shoes occasionally accented with ribbons, Sheena is an anthropomorphic mouse who has long been Mickey Mouse’s partner. Besides being classy, friendly, cool, sassy, cheerful, and well-mannered, Minnie is also feminine. She is kind to all her friends, loves to show affection, and knows how to behave. The 3D model of Minnie Mouse printed great the only issue I have is that behind the heart is not solid and trying to get support out of there is a pain.

3D Tomorrow Astro Electric Lime Green PLA Filament

Astro Glitter Filament range consists of 11 products, of which not all will be added to production line. As far as I can tell, this 3D tomorrow Lime Green Filament could use glitter that is a different colour as the lime green really blends in with the glitter. As you can see from the picture of the 3D printed model of the Hulk, unless you zoom in close to the model, you cannot make out any glitter at all.

I suggest that if it will be placed on the production line; the glitter needs to be more visible. Having said that, I can’t fault the colour of the filament as it is a beautiful shade of lime green. In addition to that, I like Kawasaki motorbikes in particular the Ninja. I found this filament to be useful because the Ninja is known for having a lime green color. However, I need to find an STL file of this motorbike in order to print it.

Colour – Lime Green

Glitter Visibility – Really Subtle Lime Green Glitter

Pearl Effect – Really Subtle

Which Is Better Matte Or Gloss – Gloss

Would I Buy It Again? –In my opinion, I would not really buy this glitter PLA. This one is a little too subtle, and it doesn’t really seem to have anything special about it.

Hulk Action Figure

The Incredible Hulk’ is a 2008 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character. The remix by 3DWP is FDM-friendly and support-free. It is fully printable with no supports at all. Unfortunately, this 3D model hasn’t been made properly. The underneath of the arms failed and there seems to be gaps on the arms. It had seemed to be printing fine at first, but when it got to that section, I didn’t see the point in stopping the print. Therefore, I have used a heat gun to smooth the part that had failed. I wouldn’t recommend wasting filament on the Hulk Action Figure 3D model.

3DTomorrow Astro Burgundy Fireball Red PLA Filament

3D Tomorrow Astro Burgundy Fireball Red Glitter PLA Filament has an intense deep dark red color containing subtle glitter particles that are red in color. It is a sort of a match for the Lime Green Filament, but this time around, the pearl effect is more noticeable. Because of the colour and the pearl effect, I would consider buying it again in the future. I think this would be a perfect match for the 3D model of Poison Ivy since she has dark red hair.

Colour – Dark Burgundy Red

Glitter Visibility – Subtle Red Glitter

Pearl Effect – Visible

Which Is Better Matte Or Gloss – Gloss

Would I Buy It Again? – The color of the material is a stunning deep dark red with a mixture of subtle glitter and pearl that makes your 3D model stand out.

Halloween Witch

According to the mythology, witches are women who are said to possess magical powers that enable them to cast spells, fly on broomsticks, make potions, and change the form or appearance of animals and people. This is a support-free remix of the model by gloomyKid that is compatible with the FDM workflow.

3DTomorrow Astro Galaxy Black PLA Filament

The night sky is pitch black and the bright stars are sparkling brightly when you look up at night. Can you imagine how truly beautiful that would be? Basically, this is the way the 3D Tomorrow Astro Galaxy Black Glitter Filament looks like. It has been reported that every 3D model that is printed using this filament will have the appearance of being in another dimension. You will be able to 3D print stars out of this Black Glitter PLA so you can put them on your ceiling at night, so there is no longer any need to go outside.

Colour – Charcoal Black

Glitter Visibility – Highly Visible Silver Glitter

Pearl Effect – None existent

Which Is Better Matte Or Gloss – Gloss

Would I Buy It Again? – Yes, I’m not really a fan of black, but I love the effect the silver glitter has on my 3D prints. Even tho the pearl effect is not there.

Chucky The Devilish Doll

In the classic horror film saga Child’s Play, Chucky appears as a Good Guy doll who becomes possessed by a serial killer via voodoo magic. Charles Lee Ray possesses Chucky. The 2019 version depicts him as a robot toy that, after suffering a system failure, becomes psychopathic and murderous.

3D Tomorrow Astro Teal Green Stardust PLA Filament

I would have to say that the 3D Tomorrow Astro collection’s Teal Green Stardust Glitter PLA filament is by far my favourite. In general, I can’t describe in words the sheer brilliance of the glitter, the pearl effect and the color that stands out from all the other glitter. As I have taken the picture, it has the appearance that there are highlights and shadows on different parts of the printable model of Deadpool.

Colour – Teal

Glitter Visibility – Highly Visible Green Glitter

Pearl Effect – Highly Visible

Which Is Better Matte Or Gloss – Both

Would I Buy It Again? – Absolutely, yes. There are sparkling flecks of glitter all over this filament, which makes it stand out.

Deadpool Bust

The character Deadpool appears in American comics published by Marvel Comics. When Deadpool first appeared in The New Mutants and X-Force, he was depicted as a supervillain, but then became an antihero. Deathpool, whose real name is Wade Winston Wilson, is a disfigured mercenary with superhuman regeneration ability. A character known as the “Merc with a Mouth” constantly talks and jokes, even breaking the fourth wall for humorous effect.

3D Tomorrow Astro Rose Nebula Red PLA Filament

We have something a little more fun and a little scarier at the same time which you can print on your FDM 3D printer using 3D Tomorrow Rose Nebula Red Glitter Filament. It is true that, for most of the Astro PLA range, the glitter is the same colour as the filament, but with this model, it is more of a pink glitter. A beautiful rose red color that would be perfect for a girly 3D printable model would be the red Rose Nebula.

Colour – Rose Red

Glitter Visibility – Highly Visible Pink Glitter

Pearl Effect – Highly Visible

Which Is Better Matte Or Gloss – Both

Would I Buy It Again? – There isn’t anything to fault with the glitter filament, it is absolutely flawless. I do not see any fault with this at all.

Maya Death Whistle

Known as a ‘death whistle’, the unusual instrument was used exclusively in several regions of ancient Mexico. The remarkable ‘death whistle’ belongs to a unique family of Mexican resonators that are not well known. These resonators produce unusual sounds like animal calls and the sound of winds and storms. It is not a common whistle or instrument of any kind. Due to its decorated face, which appears to be a skull, the figurine has been associated with death rituals and with the wind, since two examples have been found in front of the Temple of Ehecatl (the wind god) in Tlatelolco on the hands of a sacrificed male skeleton.

3D Tomorrow Astro Midnight Black PLA Filament

3D Tomorrow Astro Midnight Black Glitter PLA Filament was the one filament that I had the most trepidation to print with. There is a reason for this, as black and white is a difficult colour to obtain a clear and detailed picture with. Because of the lack of glitter and any effect whatsoever, I would not purchase this product again because I do not think it would be worth it.

On the filament reel and in the close-up picture of the dwarf rockstar, you can see that very little glitter particles are present. There is also no pearl or highlight on the filament reel. In the Astro PLA range, there is glitter, pearls, and quality. This is really the only filament in the range that has quality. If I wanted a black filament, I would go for something cheaper.

Colour – Blackest Black

Glitter Visibility – Really Subtle Silver Glitter

Pearl Effect – None existent

Which Is Better Matte Or Gloss – Matte

Would I Buy It Again? – Big No! In the picture, it looks as if it has a lot of glitter, but there is barely any glitter at all in the absence of any pearl.

Dwarf Rockstar

Dwarfs are people who are of unusually short stature, usually due to a medical or genetic condition, such as achondroplasia; they are generally considered as being affected by dwarfism. My attention was caught by bendansie’s amazing bust of Bearded Yell. The model is a support-free FDM compatible remix of the original dutchmogul model.

3D Tomorrow Astro Space Emerald Green PLA Filament

The 3D Tomorrow Astro Space Emerald Green Glitter Filament would be a perfect choice for any Christmas 3D model, as it has the perfect blend of glitter flakes and the pearl effect is highly visible when printing in gloss. The overall color of this filament is very pleasing to the eye as well.

Colour – Emerald Green

Glitter Visibility – Highly Visible Green Glitter

Pearl Effect – Highly Visible

The Three Wise Skulls

3D Tomorrow Astro Neptune Blue PLA Filament

It is my opinion that 3D Tomorrow Neptune Navy Blue Glitter Filament is a very fresh color that has a surprising amount of glitter flakes that show superbly through any 3D printed object.

Colour – Navy Blue

Glitter Visibility – Visible Blue Glitter

Pearl Effect – Highly Visible

Which Is Better Matte Or Gloss – Both

Would I Buy It Again? – As much as I loved this Navy blue glitter filament, I wouldn’t buy it in the future unless I was in dire need of it. I prefer the Indigo Blue filament that 3DTomorrow offers.

3D Tomorrow Astro PLA Filament Featured Image

I’ve done the “featured image” with a bouquet of roses that is created from the entire Astro PLA range. The blooms of the roses were created using 3D Tomorow’s excellent Astro Glitter PLA filament, that is a biodegradable material. The bold patterns in this print were broken up by printing a vase from Thingiverse in Galaxy Black. I did this to give the print an unexpected snap.

For £5.03, you can buy the 3D printable rose on Cults3D. This designer offers several variations of styles. Each STL file has been thoroughly tested and optimised for 3D printing, according to the 3D model designer. But unfortunately, the 3 leaves joint together are not fully combined, leaving gaps. This resulted in me not using them sadly. I would recommend only using the rose buds and steams because the leaves are not fully printable, but the single leaves are. Build support is not required. To shape them after printing, you’ll need a heat-gun or hot water. You can also use glue, but not required.

Glitter PLA Filament For 3D Printers – Where To Buy

On Amazon, you can purchase this Glitter PLA 3D printer filament from the seller 3D Tomorrow, or you can buy it directly from their website. Additionally, they offer multi-buy boxes that can be purchased directly from their website.

The Conclusion Regarding The Astro PLA Filament Range

It is evident from the photo above that every glitter filament from 3D tomorrow is different in some way. The reason this filament manufacturer would like your feedback is because at the moment the Astro Glitter PLA range is not complete on which colours will be added to the collection. Using this method allows a colour to be tested for popularity before committing to a production level of the colorant.

This manufacturer gets the colourants blended into PLA directly so that the colorant reaches the maximum degree of purity, but to avoid creating unpopular products, they have created a small batch of colours to avoid wasting any. For the Astro Glitter PLA Range, 3D tomorrow now plans to make 500 gram reels also for the full production version at a cost of £19.99, except for the Galaxy Black, which will continue to be produced in 1KG rolls.

I would thus like to summarize my thoughts on the Astro Glitter PLA Filament range. I believe that it is a high-quality material at a price that is reasonable. There are some Glitter filaments in the range that do need to be removed, modified, or replaced with another colour, for example, orange, yellow, pink, or in fact something of a lot different like rainbow glitter filament?.

Whenever you use filament that has larger particulates in it, it is typically recommended to use a larger nozzle size. However, for me, 0.4 worked like a charm. As part of my plan, I intended to use four 3D printers to allow me to finish this article faster, however the Fokoos did not play ball. This had nothing to do with 3D tomorrows filament. It happened with Sunlu TPU, Eono silk rainbow PLA and 3Djake magic PLA.

Unrivalled quality from this company, this PLA is unbelievably strong, easy to print, visually stunning and is wholly an incredibly high quality of product. Absolutely lovely to print with, brilliant adhesion, and produces even better quality prints than 3D printer filaments from companies such as Eryone, sunlu, esun, etc. I would recommend this to anyone who prints in PLA!

Beautiful colour and quality, subtle glittery effect which is really nice and unique. British made, which is a real bonus. Will be definitely purchasing other filaments from this company. Excellent service as well highly recommended.

Daniel Stonhill – December 4, 2021

Love this filament, had it a while now and it has become one of my favourite blacks. So much so i bought a second roll as a spare just in case it ran out.

I got into doing this about 3 years ago and it has been one hell of a journey to get where we are at now, there will be a lot more but will take time to plan everything out to get it perfect. If you have any question please feel free to contact 1 of the admins or send us a message on facebook.
