OzFDM PLA Chameleon Filament
OzFDM’s PLA Chameleon 1.75mm filament is a premium colour shifting 3D printing filament engineered to produce vibrant, multi tone prints that visually transform under different lighting conditions and viewing angles. Built on a modified PLA base, it retains the familiar ease of printing associated with standard PLA while delivering a silky, shimmering surface finish that adds depth, movement, and a high end aesthetic to every model.
Using co-extruded colour blending technology, each strand combines multiple colours within a single filament, allowing prints to display striking colour transitions without the need for multi material setups. This filament is an excellent choice for makers who want their prints to stand out, making it ideal for decorative objects, artistic creations, cosplay props, figurines, and display pieces. With strong layer adhesion, low warping, and reliable consistency, PLA Chameleon balances visual impact with dependable performance, giving you confidence to create eye catching prints that look as impressive in hand as they do on screen.
Four Shades. Endless Perspective
Shifting Colours – PLA Chameleon Colour Range
PLA Chameleon is available in four carefully selected, colour shifting shades, each designed to deliver a dynamic multi tone effect that changes with light and viewing angle. Every variation is crafted using co-extruded colour blends, allowing two complementary tones to flow through a single strand for a seamless, dual colour finish across every layer.
Colour Accuracy Disclaimer: Due to the colour shifting (chameleon) nature of this filament, on screen colours are indicative only. Each shade will appear differently depending on lighting conditions, viewing angle, and print orientation. The displayed hex values are provided as an approximate visual reference and have been derived using in house Nix Mini 3 Colour Sensor and digital colour analysis software. Minor variation between batches and real world prints is normal.
Seamless Feeding. Reliable Performance.
PLA Chameleon & AMS-Compatibility
- PLA Chameleon is compatible with Bambu Lab AMS and AMS Lite systems when supplied on standard sized spools that fall within the AMS dimensional limits.
- As a modified PLA, it feeds and prints in a similar manner to standard PLA, making it well suited for enclosed multi material systems.
- Due to the silky, co-extruded nature of chameleon filaments, it is recommended to ensure spools rotate freely and that filament paths remain clean to maintain consistent feeding.
- When properly loaded, PLA Chameleon performs reliably within AMS environments, allowing users to enjoy dynamic colour shifting prints with the convenience of automated material handling.
Designed for Impact. Built for Reliability.
Why We Love PLA Chameleon
Dynamic Colour Shifting Finish
- PLA Chameleon’s standout feature is its ability to display multiple colours within a single print, shifting in appearance as lighting and viewing angles change.
- This effect creates prints with depth, movement, and visual intrigue, making every model feel more premium and unique.
- The silky, shimmering surface enhances contours and fine details, helping designs stand out without the need for multi material printing.
Easy Printing, Reliable Results
- Built on a modified PLA base, PLA Chameleon offers the same user friendly printing experience as standard PLA.
- It provides excellent layer adhesion, low warping, and consistent extrusion, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced makers.
- This balance of ease of use and dependable performance allows users to focus on creativity rather than constant tuning.
Decorative & Display Prints
- PLA Chameleon is perfectly suited for artistic models, figurines, cosplay props, and decorative pieces where appearance is a priority.
- The colour shifting effect brings life to curved surfaces and textured designs, delivering eye catching results straight off the build plate.
- Whether you are creating display models or statement pieces, this filament is designed to impress.
Understanding PLA Chameleon at a Glance
- PLA Chameleon offers a balanced performance profile that focuses on visual quality and ease of use while still delivering dependable strength and durability.
- Its modified PLA base allows for smooth, consistent printing with minimal tuning, making it accessible for users of all experience levels.
- Heat resistance and flexibility remain moderate, as expected for PLA based materials, positioning PLA Chameleon best for decorative, display, and indoor applications rather than high temperature environments.
- Overall, it is an excellent choice for creators who prioritise striking aesthetics and reliable printability.

Drying recommendation:
40°C – 45°C for 4–6 hours using a filament dryer / food dehydrator.
Storage recommendation:
Airtight bag or container with desiccant in a cool, dark and dry area to prevent moisture absorption. For optimal long term storage we recommend drying the filament prior to sealing the filament spool in a vacuum bag with desiccant.
Biodegradable under commercial composting conditions. Please do not throw into your compost bin at home.
