This variety pack contains two distinct PLA types that handle light differently and produce different visual effects — Crystal PLA and Transparent PLA. Crystal PLA is a semi-transparent filament with an internal structure that refracts and shifts light as it passes through the model, creating depth and color variation that changes with viewing angle and light position. Transparent PLA is a clear-tinted gradient filament — the colors transition physically along the filament length and read directly through the material, similar to light passing through tinted glass. The AMOLEN Crystal-Transparent Gradient Variety Pack gives you both material types to sample at 200g each before committing to a full kilogram. Four spools per pack, 800g total — useful for testing how each optical approach reads on your specific geometry and lighting conditions.
Crystal — Phantom Blue / Amber Yellow / Haze Blue / Aurora Purple (4 spools × 200g)
Phantom Blue 200g — deep, haze-shifted blue with the crystal semi-transparent base; under directional light the blue reads with optical depth and a slightly ethereal, receding quality.
Amber Yellow 200g — warm amber-yellow crystal tint; the color saturates and deepens strongly when backlit, shifting from honey-warm to richly golden under a direct light source.
Haze Blue 200g — softer, diffused blue with the crystal structure; lighter in tone than Phantom Blue, reading as a cool frosted or misted effect in transmitted light.
Aurora Purple 200g — rich violet with the crystal semi-transparent base; under light the purple reads with depth and catches warm color-shifted tones toward the edges of the model.
Crystal — Pink / Blue / Orange / Green (4 spools × 200g)
Pink 200g — warm rose crystal tint; the semi-transparent structure gives the pink a translucent, backlit depth that reads distinctly from opaque pink PLA on the same geometry.
Blue 200g — vivid crystal blue; brighter and more directly saturated than Phantom Blue, reading as a clean, bold crystal tone under light.
Orange 200g — warm crystal orange; the translucent base allows the orange to glow with strong color saturation when backlit or placed near a light source.
Green 200g — vivid crystal green with the semi-transparent structure; strong color saturation in transmitted light with the characteristic crystal optical depth.
Transparent — Blue Brown / Orange Gray / Blue Purple / Yellow Green Red (4 spools × 200g)
Blue Brown 200g — a gradient that transitions from cool blue to warm brown in the clear-tinted transparent base; both ends of the color shift read directly through the material with no crystal refraction effect.
Orange Gray 200g — warm orange fades to neutral gray; the gradient creates a warm-to-cool tonal transition that reads evenly and directly through the transparent medium.
Blue Purple 200g — cool blue shifts to rich purple in the transparent base; the gradient maintains full clarity through the color change, reading as clean tonal zones across the print.
Yellow Green Red 200g — a three-tone gradient that moves from warm yellow through vivid green into bold red; the multi-step sweep reads as distinct color zones across the print surface.

🌵 Why Buy from VectorDesignsArizona?
We run a large and growing 3D print farm out of Tucson, Arizona — and the filaments we carry are the ones loaded in our own machines. As an authorized reseller, we only sell what we've personally used and relied on. Every material in our store has been tested in real production runs, not just sampled. When we recommend a filament, it's not a sales pitch, it's what's actually running through our printers right now.
