PLA HD Glow Alien Green filament
The favourite for creating light effects in the dark. Ideal for printing floating ghosts, monster eyes or illuminated pumpkins. Charge it with a UV light source and it glows with a spectral green intensity that will delight anyone. Perfect for indoors or night-time parties.

PLA HD Ghost White filament
Bright and crisp, this shade is ideal for translucent figures or minimalist decorations. If you combine thin walls with interior lighting, you will achieve an ethereal spectre effect. Recommended for ghosts, skeleton bones or masks.

PLA HD Nemo Orange filament
The classic Halloween colour. Its intense tone is perfect for pumpkins, candle holders or sweet containers. It offers excellent bed adhesion and a very striking finish that really brings out the details carved into Jack o’Lantern faces.

PLA HD Devil Red filament
The shade of fire and temptation. Perfect for printing horns, claws or demonic elements. Combined with black filament, you can create contrasts that highlight the texture and depth of each figure.

PLA HD Jet Black filament
The essential colour in any collection. Ideal for bases, spiders, bats or decorative structures. Its deep, glossy finish enhances the vibrant colours of the other filaments and gives any project a professional touch.

Is it easy to print earrings with PLA filament?

Yes, very easy! All you need is a 3D printer with good precision and a 0.4 mm nozzle or smaller. A few useful tips:

• Use thin layers (0.12 mm or 0.16 mm) to achieve smooth edges.
• Use minimal build plate adhesion or tape to avoid marks.
• Add a small 1–1.5 mm hole for the earring hook.
• Only use supports when strictly necessary, so you don’t damage the finish.

Printing tips for Halloween

• Use a layer height of 0.2 mm for a good balance between detail and time.
• Enable skirt or brim adhesion for large pieces such as pumpkins.
• If you use Glow filament, print at low speed to improve the light charge.
• Keep your nozzle at 200–210 °C and the bed at 60 °C for optimal results with Winkle PLA HD.
• Try different infills (10–20%) to reduce material and speed up the process.
• Use thin layers (0.12 mm or 0.16 mm) to achieve smooth edges.
• Use minimal build plate adhesion or tape to avoid marks.
• Add a small 1–1.5 mm hole for the earring hook.
• Only use supports when strictly necessary, so you don’t damage the finish.
