Where does the glossy sheen come from?
A pearlescent masterbatch in the PLA plus tight strand control produces the silk surface. Silk grades bond weaker between layers than basic PLA, so avoid load-bearing props.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where does the glossy sheen come from?
A pearlescent masterbatch in the PLA plus tight strand control produces the silk surface. Silk grades bond weaker between layers than basic PLA, so avoid load-bearing props.
Is it compatible with my FDM printer?
Yes, it runs on mainstream FDM printers accepting 1.75mm filament with a PLA profile.
What temperature does silk PLA need?
Recommended 200-225C; print toward the lower end when surface detail matters most on prop panels.
How many parts per spool?
Slice each prop piece for weight, then divide the spool's usable filament weight by that figure; hollowing big armor shells stretches the yield.
Which colors are in the silk line?
Black as listed, plus white, red, yellow, green, orange, pink, blue and purple - ask for the color chart to check sheen per shade.
What suits this filament?
Cosplay props, armor panels, display weapons and ornaments - decorative surfaces rather than brackets or stress-bearing parts.
How should I store it?
Keep the vacuum seal and desiccant until use; store cool and dry, and re-dry the spool if prints show moisture bubbles.
