Description

Buddy3D PLA+ Skin tone filament in 4 matte skin tones used in prosthetics.

This special series was created in response to demand from the 3D printing community and therefore offers the four most commonly used skin tones, marked with Pantone numbers, which the community helped select as the most suitable for prosthetics and other projects. The matte finish of the filament also makes the final prints even more similar to the actual appearance of skin.

Community-Powered Selection

Volunteers from the global e-NABLE organization helped with the selection of the must-have skin tones. The filament test spools flew to the USA, South Africa, Algeria, France and Turkey. A big thank you goes out to the shipping company ByTorp s.r.o., who helped with sending out these filament test kits and arranged everything free of charge. Volunteers printed the filament, commented on the look and printability, and each selected their top 4 shades.

Why PLA+?

PLA filaments are considered the simplest material for 3D printing. They are inexpensive and suitable for both beginners and advanced users. They can be used to print detailed models, figurines, and quick prototypes that do not require increased mechanical, chemical, or thermal resistance.

PLA is the most widely used filament, known for its excellent appearance and easy printability. Thanks to its low thermal expansion, it warps minimally during printing, making it an excellent choice for printing large objects. At the same time, its low melting point makes it suitable for small parts.

Although PLA is not as tough and durable as some advanced materials, its versatility makes it ideal for a wide range of applications, including large objects, miniatures, concept models, and prototypes that do not need to be particularly durable.
