Problems, parts and running costs

Summary

A 1 kg spool of gradient rainbow PLA in the Wild Blossom-Short colorway, rated for high-speed printing up to 300 mm/s. Check the color cycle before you buy: the short gradient changes every 6-8 m, so small prints can come out looking like a single color.

Strengths

  • Published mechanical data for the rainbow variant (density, tensile, flexural) from manufacturer-aggregated data sheets.
  • Rated for high-speed printing up to 300 mm/s with 100% cooling fan.
  • Smooth 6-8 m color gradient suited to small-to-medium display parts.
  • Vacuum-sealed packaging with desiccant on a cardboard spool.
  • Owners report reliable high-speed printing and clean extrusion with Hyper PLA.
  • Value is strong at the Creality store sale price near $18/kg.

Weaknesses

  • No credible instrumented test of the exact rainbow variant exists; base Hyper PLA results should not be transferred directly.
  • Long color transitions can make small or thin prints look monochrome.
  • Stringing on thin objects and at high nozzle temperature is reported by owners.
  • Moisture sensitivity; drying and dry-box storage are recommended.
  • Under-extrusion and clicking at high volumetric flow; reducing flow to around 17 mm3/s is suggested.
  • PLA is not heat-resistant; Vicat softening is around 62 C.

Independent testing and base material

No credible instrumented test of the exact Hyper Rainbow PLA variant was found from established test outlets; published reviews of this filament are largely editorial or retailer summaries rather than measured data. MyTechFun independently tested standard Hyper PLA (not the rainbow variant) with tensile, shear, impact, bending, creep, and temperature tests. In3D tested blue Hyper Series PLA at 500 mm/s with minor stringing and reported tensile strength around 53 MPa for that base material. GearMustHave praised high-speed printing up to 300 mm/s, smooth extrusion, tangle-free winding, and vacuum packaging, while noting color accuracy varies and it is not for strict color matching or engineering use. EssentialGrade reviewed Creality Rainbow PLA+ (a different PLA+ product, not Hyper PLA) and reported long color transitions, semi-matte finish, and good layer bonding; that review is not exact-model evidence.

Owner reports

Owners on the Creality store and 3DJake rate the filament positively, and community posts report reliable high-speed printing and clean extrusion. A Creality Cloud post shows a successful Benchy printed on a K1 Max using Hyper Rainbow PLA. GearMustHave notes smooth, consistent extrusion and fewer feeding issues from careful winding.

Recurring cautions from owner threads: stringing on thin objects, moisture-related popping and stringing (drying recommended), under-extrusion and clicking at high volumetric flow, bed adhesion issues, and in one case a spool that appeared used on arrival. Some buyers note long color transitions that can make small prints look monochrome. A forum thread titled “Hyper PLA is rubbish” reflects one user’s extruder clicking on a K2 SE, later traced to mechanical and flow issues rather than a universal defect. Reddit discussions raise general questions about Hyper PLA quality control and performance.

Running costs, storage and value

Filament is a consumable with no repairability. Ownership costs include storage and drying equipment and standard nozzle wear; no abrasive additives are stated, so nozzle wear should be ordinary. Drying parameters for the rainbow variant are not published in the sources checked; the standard Hyper PLA TDS recommends dry storage and dry-box use.

At the Creality store the product was priced at $17.99 on sale versus a $35.04 compare-at price, with tiered discounts (Buy 5 at $15.29 each, Buy 10 at $14.39, Buy 20 at $13.49). 3DJake lists $25.17 excluding VAT for Wild Blossom-Short. SpoolScout lists $25.99 for the Wild Blossom Short variant. At the Creality store sale price near $18/kg the spool is strong value for a high-speed rainbow PLA with published mechanical data; around $25/kg it remains reasonable for a gradient filament with a 6-8 m color cycle; above roughly $30/kg the buyer should compare other rainbow or high-speed PLA options unless the specific Wild Blossom-Short gradient is required. It is not an engineering or high-temperature material; value depends on wanting the aesthetic gradient effect.

Which model this is

This page covers the Creality Hyper Rainbow PLA 3D Printing Filament, 1 kg, color variant “Wild Blossom-Short” (also sold as “Wild Blossom-Short Gradient”). It is a PLA (polylactic acid) filament with a multicolor gradient, not the separate Creality Rainbow PLA+ or CR-PLA Rainbow lines. Creality lists three colorways for this product: Wild Blossom-Long, Spring Lake, and Wild Blossom-Short. The Short variant is a “Short Gradient” with a smooth color gradient every 6-8 m, suited to small-to-medium models. Creality item number 3301010425 and EAN 6971636403654 are published for the Wild Blossom-Short spool. Empty spool weight is listed as 170 g.

Do not merge with Creality Hyper PLA RFID (tagged spool, 30-600 mm/s) or standard single-color Hyper PLA; those are different product identities even though they share the Hyper PLA base resin. The rainbow variant is rated 30-300 mm/s in the data sheet, while some retail titles state 30-600 mm/s; the 600 mm/s figure belongs to standard Hyper PLA, not this rainbow spool. Standard Hyper PLA mechanical values (tensile strength 52.99 MPa, density 1.24 g/cm3) do not apply to the rainbow variant (44.37 MPa, 1.25 g/cm3).
