Summary

Polymaker Panchroma Basic PLA in black is a standard PLA filament for high-speed printing up to 350 mm/s with a semi-gloss finish and a published light transmission of TD 0.1 that suits HueForge dark areas. Check the bed-temperature and modulus figures before you rely on them: the product page and the TDS disagree, and diameter tolerance is not published.

Strengths

  • Prints cleanly at stock settings; owners report no changes needed.
  • Deep black with TD 0.1, useful for HueForge dark areas.
  • Good bed adhesion reported by owners.
  • AMS-compatible cardboard spools with neat winding.
  • Color consistency praised across the Panchroma line.
  • Published TDS mechanical data for the Basic range.

Weaknesses

  • Diameter tolerance is not published.
  • Bed-temperature minimum differs between product page and TDS.
  • Young’s modulus unit differs between product page (GPa) and TDS (MPa).
  • Mechanical values are typical, tested on 100% infill specimens.
  • No independent instrumented third-party test found.
  • Moisture absorption risk; dry at 55 °C for 6 h if needed.

Full research notes and sources

Nozzle runs 190–230 °C on a 25–60 °C bed (the product page badge shows 20–60 °C), with speeds up to 350 mm/s at 0.4 mm nozzle and 0.2 mm layer height and up to 28 mm³/s volumetric. Cooling stays on, retraction is 1–3 mm at 20–40 mm/s, and no enclosure is needed. Dry at 55 °C for 6 h only if the filament has absorbed moisture.

Color and HueForge use

Black is hex #080A0D with a TD of 0.1, so it becomes opaque quickly and works well for HueForge dark areas. The surface finish is semi-gloss, and color consistency across the Panchroma line is repeatedly praised by owners.

Owner feedback

Feedback comes from Polymaker’s own store review widget and is self-selected. Owners report clean, consistent prints at stock settings, a deep black that becomes opaque quickly, easy printing, good bed adhesion, and no feeding or extrusion problems. One owner preferred Panchroma over Bambu brand for bed adhesion and cardboard spools, and AMS compatibility is confirmed by users. No negative reports appeared in the visible reviews, but that pool is seller-hosted, so it cannot support a defect-rate estimate. Moisture absorption is the main stated maintenance risk.

Polymaker’s US shop lists the black spool at $18.99 and the refill at $17.99, with bundle discounts of 5% at four, 10% at six, and 15% at ten. MatterHackers lists the refill at $17.99. The refill cuts cost and packaging waste. They may change; verify at purchase.

Which model this is

This page covers Polymaker Panchroma Basic PLA in Black: spool SKU CA19006, hex #080A0D, TD 0.1, 1.75 mm, 1 kg spool or refill. The black refill is sold separately (MatterHackers lists it as CA19029). Do not confuse it with Panchroma Matte, Satin, Silk, Luminous, Glow, Galaxy, Marble, CoPE, Gradient, or other Panchroma variants, which carry different print speeds and mechanical data. The Amazon listing for this filament is ASIN B0FC1RT6M8.
