SUNLU CMYK Lithophane Matte PLA Filament 4KG - Fast Matte Finish

In this review of the SUNLU CMYK Lithophane Matte PLA Filament 4KG bundle, the bottom line is simple: this kit is best for makers who want a reliable, matte-textured filament that supports very fast printing without sacrificing surface quality. The review focuses on real-world use with 1.75mm printers and highlights the filament's standout trait - a smooth, elegant matte finish that prints cleanly and reduces visible stringing while enabling rapid print speeds up to 600mm/s.

Key Features

• Rapid printing: The filament supports print speeds up to 600mm/s to cut print times while maintaining acceptable surface detail for many model types.
• Elegant matte surface: Prints produce a smooth, non-glossy texture ideal for artistic models and lithophanes where a refined finish matters.
• No stringing: The 1.75mm matte PLA is formulated to reduce stringing and leave cleaner overhangs and gaps, improving successful prints on flexible shapes.
• Durable and flexible: The material bends repeatedly without breaking or deforming, which is useful for functional household prints and prototypes.
• Reusable spool and tidy winding: Each 1kg spool is refillable, wound neatly to prevent tangles, and fits a wide range of FDM machines.
• Vacuum-sealed packaging: Filament arrives vacuum sealed to keep moisture out and preserve printability until use.

Who It's For

This bundle is well suited to hobbyists, artists, and small shops that value a matte texture and want multiple colors for decorative or lithophane work. The CMYK set (white, magenta, yellow, cyan) gives flexibility for colorful projects and quick changes between tones without buying separate spools later.

It is less appropriate for users who require specialty engineering plastics, very high temperature performance, or those whose printer workflows are tightly integrated with automated splicing systems that have reported occasional jams with some matte filaments. New users should match the recommended settings and test a small print before committing to long jobs.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Strong matte finish that elevates the appearance of artistic prints and models.
• Supports high print speeds up to 600mm/s for faster turnaround on simpler parts.
• Neatly wound, reusable 1kg spools reduce tangles and offer long-term value.
• Vacuum-sealed packaging preserves filament quality by keeping moisture out.

Cons

• A small number of users report compatibility issues with certain multi-spool AMS feeder systems, so check your printer path if you use automated splicing.
• Not a substitute for specialty high-temperature or engineering-grade filaments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this filament work with most 1.75mm FDM printers?
Yes; the filament is compatible with most 1.75mm FDM printers and typically requires only the recommended nozzle and bed temperatures.

How should I store the filament after opening?
Keep the spool in a dry environment or reseal in a vacuum or desiccant bag to prevent moisture uptake and print failures.

Are the spools reusable?
Yes; each 1kg spool is refillable and designed to work with a variety of filaments to reduce waste.
