Color-Changing PLA

FDM 

Temperature-based color-changing PLA is ideal for novelty prints.

About

Also known as tri-color PLA, this material changes color once the temperature exceeds 33 °C. Originally printed in black, the color transforms into orange when the temperature is between 33 °C and 45 °C. Once the temperature exceeds 45 °C, the color changes to yellow.
